Honey Sesame Chicken

Chinese take out is one of my favorite things to order on late work days.  But, ordering takeout so often gets both expensive and unhealthy.  So, I’ve been trying to find quick and easy recipes that I can whip up after work that will quench that craving!

Honey Sesame Chicken is super easy to mix up and is reminiscent of some of my favorite take out dishes.

I’m not a huge fan of fried dishes.  But, this honey sesame chicken fries up quick and easy with just a thin layer of oil.  Seriously, like 1/2 inch of vegetable oil in your pan over medium heat, throw the chicken in, and stir around until fully cooked.  Make sure you remove the chicken from the pan and place on a plate covered with a paper towel.  This will soak up any excess oil and keep the chicken from getting too over-saturated in the oil.  Drain all the excess oil from the pan, and then place the chicken back into it.  After the sauce has been cooked and thickened, pour it over the cooked chicken and you are done!

With that being said, I plan on a baked or crock-pot version of this Honey Sesame Chicken sometime in the near future, so stay tuned!
