General Tso’s Baked Chicken Recipe

4

Ingredients

3 boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 1 1/4 pounds), cut into 1 inch pieces
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 eggs, beaten
1 1/2 cups Panko breadcrumbs
1/2 cup honey
1/2 cup low-sodium soy sauce
5 garlic cloves, minced
1 1/2 tablespoons Sriracha sauce
1 tablespoon sesame seeds
Sliced green onions

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius). Line a half sheet pan with parchment.
Season the chicken with salt and pepper.
Dip several pieces of chicken at a time into the eggs, then coat evenly in the breadcrumbs.
Bake for 20 minutes, flipping halfway through the cooking time, until the chicken is cooked and the breading has started to brown.
While the chicken is baking, make the sauce by combining the honey, soy sauce, garlic and Sriracha in a small saucepan and bringing to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer for about 5 minutes, until slightly thickened.
Once the chicken is done, coat in the sauce. Sprinkle on the sesame seeds and sliced green onions.
