How to Make Baked Sesame Chicken With Sweet Sour Sauce
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a shallow dish, combine sesame seeds, bread crumbs, onion powder, and black pepper.
- In a small skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Remove from heat and stir in soy sauce.
- Dip each chicken breast into the butter mixture, ensuring both sides are coated. Then, dredge in the sesame seed mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
- Arrange chicken in a foil-lined baking pan.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, combine sweet and sour sauce, brown sugar, and water.
- Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened (about 5 minutes).
- Remove from heat and stir in sesame oil.
- Serve the baked sesame chicken immediately, drizzled with the sweet and sour sauce.
