How to Make Baked Sesame Chicken With Soy Dip

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
  2. In a shallow dish, combine 1 cup breadcrumbs, 1/4 cup sesame seeds, 1 teaspoon five-spice powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  3. Pat 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Lightly beat 2 large eggs in a separate shallow dish.
  4. Dip each chicken breast in the beaten egg, then dredge in the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring it's fully coated.
  5. 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).
  6. 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.
  7. Serve the baked sesame chicken immediately with the soy-citrus dipping sauce and lime wedges for squeezing.
