Sesame Chicken

Submitted by: PISCESWOMAN87
I love the sesame chicken you can find at many American Chinese restaurants, such as P.F. Chang's.
Sadly, it doesn't love me, so I decided I would make a version that isn't battered and deep fried.
This version is baked, so it isn't exactly like the kind from the restaurants. But, I think it's a good substitute for when you're really craving some sesame chicken!
Feel free to add some veggies.
Broccoli would be good in this, I'm sure. I'll try it next time I make this.
I just didn't have any on hand this time. I need to go shopping soon!
Minutes to Prepare: 130
Minutes to Cook: 10
Number of Servings: 4
Ingredients
1 pound (16 ounces) boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into bite sized chunks.
3 Tbsp soy sauce
3 Tbsp olive oil
2 Tbsp raw cane sugar
1 tsp honey
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/4 cup white, untoasted sesame seeds
liberal pinches of black pepper, ground ginger and ground cinnamon
Directions
Combine all ingredients except chicken in a bowl.
Add chicken, mix together well so the chicken is thoroughly coated in the marinade, cover and let it sit in the fridge for 2 hours or so.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Arrange chicken on a cookie sheet, and pour liquid on top of it.
Bake in oven for 5 minutes, flip chicken pieces with a spatula, and bake for another 5 minutes, or until done.
Serve with brown rice (not included in the Nutritional Info, because everybody likes different amounts of rice, or some might even not want rice at all.)
Makes 4 4-oz servings.
