How to Make Chicken Mombasa

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Pat 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts dry with paper towels.
In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons curry powder and 1 teaspoon salt. Rub this mixture evenly over the chicken pieces.
In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 large egg and 2 tablespoons heavy cream.
In another bowl, combine 1 cup all-purpose flour and 1/4 cup sesame seeds.
Dip each chicken piece in the egg mixture, allowing excess to drip off, then dredge in the flour mixture, ensuring it's fully coated.
Place the coated chicken pieces in a foil-lined baking dish.
Melt 2 tablespoons of butter and brush lightly over the chicken.
Bake for 45 minutes, brushing with remaining melted butter halfway through. Chicken is cooked through when internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious Chicken Mombasa!
