Ingredients
- 1 lb chicken breasts cut into strips
- 1 tablespoon EACH: hoisin sauce and soy sauce can be gluten-free
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil plus extra for drizzling
- ¼ cup EACH: white and black sesame seeds
- 1 package of your favorite Asian-inspired bagged salad
- cooked rice try black forbidden rice!
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.
