Baked Sesame Chicken Recipe.

Ingredients:

For the chicken:
1 lb chicken breasts, boneless and skinless
1 TBSP salt
1 TSP ground black pepper
1/2 cup all purpose flour
2 eggs, beaten
2 cups Panko breadcrumbs
cooking oil spray

For the vegetables:
2 cups broccoli florets
2 cups cauliflower florets
1 TBSP olive oil
1 TSP Italian seasoning
1 TSP salt
1/2 TSP ground black pepper

For the sticky honey sauce:
2 TBSPs soy sauce
2 TBSPs liquid honey
1 TBSP black vinegar
1/4 cup ketchup
1 TBSP brown sugar
1 TSP cornstarch
1/2 TBSP vegetable oil
1 TSP fresh garlic, minced
2 TBSPs sesame seeds
1 TSP green onions, finely sliced

Recipe Instructions:

Preheat the oven to 350F.
Pat dry chicken breasts completely with a paper towel and cut into 1-inch cubes.
Place into a medium mixing bowl and season with salt and pepper.
Set aside for at least 10 minutes.
In a large ziploc bag, add flour and cubed chicken.
Seal the bag and shake well to coat.
Prepare a shallow plate with the Panko breadcrumbs and another with the beaten eggs.
Dip one piece of chicken at a time into the egg wash and evenly coat it, then evenly coat in the breadcrumbs.
The flour will stick to the chicken, the egg wash sticks to the flour, and the breadcrumbs will stick to the egg wash.
Arrange the breaded chicken on a large half sheet baking pan lined with parchment paper.
Spray the chicken with cooking oil spray.
This helps create a crispy crust on the outside during baking.
In a large mixing bowl, add broccoli, cauliflower, olive oil, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
Toss to coat.
Spread the vegetable mix in a single layer on one half of the same baking pan.
Bake the chicken with vegetables for 25 to 30 minutes until chicken is fully cooked.
The internal temperature for the chicken should be 165F.
Set the pan aside.
