How to Make Sesame Chicken Skillet
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
- Add 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs to the bowl and toss to coat evenly in the flour mixture.
- Heat 2 tablespoons sesame oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add 2 cloves minced garlic and the chicken thighs to the skillet.
- Fry until golden brown on both sides, stirring only occasionally to avoid overcrowding the pan. (About 5-7 minutes)
- If chicken starts to stick, add 1-2 tablespoons of chicken broth to deglaze the pan.
- Add 8 oz sliced mushrooms to the skillet and pour in 1/4 cup chicken broth.
- Reduce heat to low, cover the skillet, and simmer for 10-12 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has slightly thickened. Add more chicken broth (1-2 tablespoons at a time) if needed to prevent sticking and maintain moisture.
- After 10-12 minutes, stir in 1-3 tablespoons additional chicken broth to adjust sauce consistency to your liking.
- Stir in 1/4 cup store-bought sesame ginger dressing (or homemade – see notes).
- Serve the sesame chicken immediately over cooked rice.
- Garnish each serving with 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds.
