SIMPLE SAUTEED SESAME CHICKEN

Steps:

• Cut chicken breasts into 1 1/2-inch slices about 1/4-inch thick. Season with salt and pepper. Combine flour, red pepper flakes, garlic powder, and onion powder in a large bowl. Add chicken and toss well. Add soy sauce, sesame oil, and honey; stir to coat.
• Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and juices run clear, 10 to 15 minutes.

SESAME-COATED SAUTéED CHICKEN BREASTS

Steps:

• Place each chicken breast half between slices of wax paper or plastic wrap. Pound lightly with a mallet. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Dredge the pieces on all sides in the sesame seeds.
• Heat three tablespoons of the butter in a large, heavy skillet and add the breasts in one layer. This may have to be done in two steps, or you may use two skillets. If two skillets are used, double the basic amount of butter. Cook about five minutes on one side. Turn and cook on the second side about five minutes. Then transfer them to a heated serving dish.
• Heat the four remaining tablespoons of butter in a skillet and add the lemon juice. Swirl the butter around until it is hazelnut brown. Pour this sauce over the chicken breasts and serve hot.

MEAL PREP SESAME CHICKEN BREASTS

Steps:

• Brush the chicken on both sides with the vinegar. Sprinkle the chicken on both sides with 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Mix the white and black sesame seeds in a shallow dish. Firmly press the chicken into the sesame seeds until well coated on both sides.
• Heat the olive oil and sesame oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook undisturbed until just starting to turn white, about 1 minute. Flip the chicken and cook undisturbed until the other side is turning white, about 1 minute. Reduce the heat to low, cover and cook until the chicken is completely cooked through and an instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part registers 165 degrees F, about 10 minutes. Serve the chicken as a whole piece or sliced crosswise into strips.
• The chicken will keep up to 4 days. Let cool completely before refrigerating.
• Caesar Salad: Slice the chicken and toss with romaine lettuce and store-bought Caesar dressing; top with hard-boiled eggs, olives, grated Parmesan and anchovies, if desired.

• Note: Since originally posting this recipe, I have tried some of the suggestions others have made. I do like it with a bit of sesame oil (be careful not to get too much, just a few drops at the end of cooking is good enough for me, but you might like more), fresh ginger is also good if you have it on hand. I have tried it with garlic and it is good that way also. I have also found that it is good with shrimp and pork. Basically what I am trying to say is, the original recipe is just a simple, quick and healthy meal I came up with when I was craving Chinese food. I thought it turned out really great and wanted to share it. I'm happy that so many of you have enjoyed it. For those of you that didn't care for it, I hope you can find one that suits your fancy some where else.

SESAME ENCRUSTED CHICKEN BREASTS WITH GINGER-SOY SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350*F. For the chicken breasts, season chicken with salt and pepper. In a small bowl, mix sesame seeds and chile flakes and then dredge the chicken breasts in the mixture to coat them. Heat vegetable oil in a large saute pan until smoking hot. Add chicken brests and brown each side well, about 2 minutes per side.
• Remove chicken from pan and transfer to a baking pan. Bake for another 3 to 5 minutes until the chicken breasts are just cooked through.
• For the sauce,while the chicken breasts are baking, heat veg. oil in the same pan you removed them from. Add the garlic and gingerroot and saute until you can smell the aroma, 1 to 2 minutes over high heat. Add mirin wine and boil over high heat until reduced by half, 2 to 3 minutes. Add chicken stock and boil over high heat to reduce a bit, 2 to 3 minutes.
• If the chicken breasts are finished cooking by this time, remove them from the oven and allow to stand. Add hoisin sauce and chile sauce to saute pan and bring to a boil. Season with sesame oil, basil, and soy sauce.
• Serve chicken breasts over steamed rice or couscous. Serve half of the sauce over the chicken and the remainder on the side. This will not be a very thick sauce; it is meant to be thin and light. Enjoy!
