Simple Sesame Ginger Chicken

Recipe #31559 | 20 min | 5 min prep | add private note

This is a quick way to flavor chicken; because it's thick, you can baste instead of having to marinate. I suggested a couple of different ways to prepare this.

SERVES 4 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    Blend the soy sauce, honey, sesame seeds, and ginger well.
  2. 2
    Baste the chicken breasts and broil or grill 5-8 minutes on each side, brushing frequently with sauce.
  3. 3
    Alternately, cube the chicken and baste/marinate in the sauce, then fry in very hot oil and serve with vegetables over rice as a stir-fry.

This was easy and delicious, 2 important things, in my book. I let mine sit in the sauce while the oven was pre-heating, then keep it warm on the stove while basting...I also added garlic and a pinch of crushed red pepper, as a personal preference, and sprinkled the sesame seeds on at the end of cook time. This was quick to throw together, with ingredients I usually have on hand. Thanks for sharing, ChrisMc.

    We didn't marinate it. So after broiling, I found the dish to be quite bland.

    Very good and quick marinade. I added garlic, crushed red pepper, and more ginger to the marinade and fried it in peanut oil. Oh, and to "roast" sesame seeds, just take regular sesame seeds and either throw them in a pan or in the toaster oven to brown them. Mmmmm, so good...Can't wait to try it grilled next time!

    I didn't want to give stars yet but wanted to leave a suggestion...don't use a grill pan! I used one tonight and the marinade burned and smoked and made such a mess. I ended up finishing the cooking in the oven. Even with the charred marinade, I thought it was good, so I plan to make it again (in the oven) and will post stars then. Also, I used a little marinade to saute zucchini and it was delicious!
