How to Make Baked Sesame Chicken With Soy Dip
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- In a shallow dish, combine 1 cup breadcrumbs, 1/4 cup sesame seeds, 1 teaspoon five-spice powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
- Pat 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Lightly beat 2 large eggs in a separate shallow dish.
- Dip each chicken breast in the beaten egg, then dredge in the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring it's fully coated.
- Arrange the chicken breasts on the prepared baking tray. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Meanwhile, whisk together 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tablespoons lime juice, 1 tablespoon orange juice, and 1 tablespoon honey in a small bowl to create the dipping sauce.
- Serve the baked sesame chicken immediately with the soy-citrus dipping sauce and lime wedges for squeezing.
