Ingredients

  • 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into pieces
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoons pepper
  • 3 tablespoons flour
  • 2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon white vinegar
  • 1/2 cup low-sodium chicken stock
  • 2-3 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

In a bowl, whisk together chicken stock, brown sugar, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, garlic cloves, soy sauce and vinegar. Set aside.

Heat a large oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat.

Toss chicken with salt, pepper and flour.

Add olive oil and 1 tablespoon sesame oil to skillet, and once hot, add chicken in a single layer. Cook until seared and golden on one side, then flip and cook until golden again, about 2-3 minutes. Pour chicken stock mixture over chicken and toss to coat, then transfer to oven and bake for 20 minutes. Remove and cover with sesame seeds. Serve with steamed rice.
