Sesame Chicken Bowls Recipe
Description
Sesame Chicken Bowls Recipe features chicken breast strips marinated briefly in hoisin sauce, soy sauce, and sesame oil to infuse a savory and slightly sweet flavor. The chicken is then coated thoroughly with a combination of white and black sesame seeds, adding a nutty crunch after baking.
The chicken pieces are baked on parchment until cooked through, while an Asian-inspired bagged salad provides fresh, crisp accompaniments. The dish is completed by serving the sesame-coated chicken atop cooked rice, suggested as black forbidden rice, which adds texture and depth.
Simple preparation of this recipe involves marinating, sesame seed coating, and baking, ensuring the chicken remains moist and flavorful. The sesame seed crust enhances the taste and texture, offering contrast to the tender meat and fresh salad.
Ingredients
- 1 lb chicken breast cut into strips
- 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce can be gluten-free, each
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce can be gluten-free, each
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil plus extra for drizzling
- ¼ cup white sesame seeds each
- ¼ cup black sesame seeds each
- 1 package bagged salad Asian-inspired, your favorite
- rice try black forbidden rice!, cooked
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Start the rice, if using.
- Place the chicken breasts, hoisin, soy sauce, and sesame oil into a bowl and mix it around so the chicken is coated.
- Mix the black and white sesame seeds in a small bowl. Scatter half onto a baking sheet - not the one you put the parchment on. Place the chicken onto the sesame seeds then sprinkle the remaining over the top.
- Make sure each piece of chicken is coated in sesame seeds and then transfer them to the parchment-lined baking sheet. Drizzle with a little sesame oil. Bake in the oven for 18 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
- Toss the salad with the dressing and any extras that are in the bag and serve with cooked rice and the sesame chicken on top.
