Ingredients
Chicken
- 1 ½ pound chicken breasts boneless and skinless, cut into 1 inch cubes
- ½ teaspoon salt or to taste
- ¼ teaspoon pepper or to taste
- 2 large eggs beaten
- 1 ½ cups panko breadcrumbs
Sauce
- ⅓ cup honey
- ⅓ cup soy sauce low sodium
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar packed
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 2 tablespoon sesame seeds
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400℉. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Add the eggs to a shallow plate, season with salt and pepper and beat well. Add the breadcrumbs to another shallow plate.
- Dip the chicken pieces first into the egg mixture, then dredge them through the breadcrumbs. Place the chicken onto the prepared baking sheet. Repeat until finished with all the chicken.
- Bake for about 20 to 30 minutes or until the chicken is golden brown and crisp.
- In a small pan over medium heat, combine all the sauce ingredients except sesame seeds. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer. Simmer until slightly thickened, 1 to 2 minutes.
- Pour over warm chicken and toss to fully coat. Sprinkle with sesame seeds, green onions and serve.

Notes
- You can store these fully cooked in an airtight container in the fridge for 3 – 4 days. Feel free to crisp them up by baking them in the oven when ready to feast.
- You can store these in the freezer for up to 1 month if you’d like to prepare these in advance. Just dredge the chicken strips and then lay them on a baking sheet and freeze them, uncooked. Hold off on making the sauce till you're ready to feast.
- Seal in an airtight container once completely frozen and bake at 425 F degrees for 20 – 25 minutes from frozen when ready to eat.
