Easy Honey Garlic Sesame Chicken
Super Easy Honey Garlic Sesame Chicken. Tender crispy breaded chicken bites tossed in a sweet and spicy honey garlic sauce.
I love making take-out dishes at home. From Crispy Asian Chicken Bites to Easy Chicken Stir Fry. Making these Asian inspired dishes at home is so much better and healthier!
This Easy Honey Garlic Sesame Chicken is sweet with a hint of spice and tons of garlic flavor. If you like it a little spicier (like me) add some more crushed red pepper flakes!
I love baking my chicken and coating it in panko breadcrumbs. It makes super crispy chicken bites that can be tossed in your favorite sauce.
Sweet. savory and spicy. The perfect flavor combination! This Asian-inspired meal is absolutely delicious. Serve with white rice and veggies. Garnish with chopped scallions and sesame seeds. For a healthy twist serve this on top of lettuce wraps.
This recipe takes about 30 minutes to put together start to finish.
The sauce is made of honey, sesame oil, garlic, soy sauce and crushed red pepper flakes. As for the chicken I used boneless skinless chicken breast and cubed them into bite size pieces.
This chicken is so easy to make! Start with a simple breading, flour, egg and panko breadcrumbs. Place the chicken on a baking sheet lined with a silicone baking mat. Place in the oven and bake for 15 minutes. While the chicken bakes work on the sauce. Saute garlic in oil and add the rest of the sauce ingredients and bring to a simmer. Toss with the cooked chicken and serve immediately.
