Sweet and Sour Sesame Chicken image

Sweet and sour chicken is deep-fried breaded white meat chicken, coated or served with sweet and sour sauce. This recipe isn't exactly a 30-minute meal - it takes a little bit of time and preparation, but if you have a few extra minutes, this sesame chicken is 100% worth it. I love how crunchy the chicken is and that the sauce thickens beautifully to coat the chicken. It's not too thin, but not gloopy either; just right. Toss the chicken on a bed of white rice and top with toasted sesame seeds and chopped scallions, and you'll be in dinner heaven.

Time 35m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

10 ounces raw boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into nuggets
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 cup fat-free liquid egg substitute (like Egg Beaters Original)
1/4 cup whole wheat flour
1/4 cup fat-free chicken broth
1 tablespoon cornstarch
2 tablespoons sugar-free pancake syrup
2 tablespoons seasoned rice vinegar
1 tablespoon ketchup
1/2 tablespoon reduced sodium soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
1/2 teaspoon crushed garlic
1 teaspoon sesame seeds
2 tablespoons thinly sliced scallions
red pepper flakes (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spray a baking sheet with nonstick spray.
  • Place chicken in a large bowl and season with salt and pepper. Top with egg substitute and toss to coat.
  • Put flour in wide bowl. One at a time, shake nuggets to remove excess egg and coat with flour. Evenly lay on the baking sheet. Bake for 10 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through.
  • To make the sauce, combine broth with cornstarch in a nonstick skillet; whisk to dissolve. Set heat to medium low. Add syrup, vinegar, ketchup, soy sauce, sesame oil, and garlic. Mix well. Cook and stir until thick enough to coat a spoon, 2 - 3 minutes.
  • Remove skillet from heat. Add chicken and toss to coat.
  • Plate and sprinkle with sesame seeds and scallions. If you like, add a sprinkle of red pepper flakes. Eat up!
