Description

Make this sweet and sticky sesame chicken recipe at home in under 20 minutes. Juicy chicken breast tossed in a tangy, sweet sauce with sesame seeds.


Ingredients

Units Scale

4 Chicken Breasts

1 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil (or Avocado Oil)

1/4 c Soy Sauce

1 tbsp Mirin

1 tsp Rice Vinegar

1/4 c Sweet and Sour Sauce

Sesame Seeds

1 tsp Lime Juice


Instructions

Prepare your Chicken: Start by cutting your chicken breasts into cubes that are roughly the same size.

Season and Cook your Chicken: Heat your olive oil in a large pan over medium heat then add in your chicken. Add you mirin, rice vinegar, and soy sauce to the pan and stir until your chicken in coated. Allow your chicken to cook on each side, periodically mixing it to make sure it evenly cooks – this should take about 8 minutes.

Finish Seasoning your Chicken: Once the chicken has browned on each side, turn the heat down to low and add in the lime juice and sweet and sour sauce and then stir to evenly coat each piece. Cook for about a minute and then remove the chicken from the heat and transfer to a heat-safe dish.
