Sesame Chicken


Emily gave me this recipe and I have it written on a stained piece of paper I have to hunt for every time I want to make it. High time to get it typed up and easy to access since we like this dish every so often. (As you can see, not my photo, but now you get a better idea of the end result).

Sesame Chicken

4 small or 2 large chicken breast
1/2 c. cornstarch
canola oil

Cut chicken in bite size pieces and put in a Ziploc bag with the cornstarch. Toss until well-coated. Add enough oil to the bottom of a skillet and fry chicken to medium brown.

Sauce:
1 1/3 c. water
1/4 c. sugar
2 Tbsp. soy sauce
2 Tbsp. oyster sauce (I've yet to buy this so it gets left out)
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
2 Tbsp. cornstarch

Prepare sauce by mixing the ingredients above in a saucepan. (You need to babysit this and not multitask like I tend to do). Stir over medium heat until thickened. Pour over chicken and simmer three minutes. Add steamed broccoli and sesame seeds. We like to serve over rice, but noodles would be fine too.
