Ingredients

4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
½ cup honey
¼ cup soy sauce
¼ cup rice vinegar
1 tablespoon sambal oelek (Indonesian red chile paste)
1 (1 inch) piece ginger, grated
½ teaspoon sesame oil
2 cups water
1 cup uncooked short-grain white rice
2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 large onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, grated
2 large mangoes, peeled and cubed
¾ cup roasted salted cashews
freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

Combine chicken, honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sambal oelek, ginger, and sesame oil in a large resealable plastic bag. Seal and place in the refrigerator to marinate, about 2 1/2 hours.
Bring water to a boil in a small saucepan. Stir in rice. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, until rice is tender, about 15 minutes. Sprinkle sesame seeds over the surface of the rice. Continue cooking until water is completely absorbed, about 5 minutes more. Fluff rice with a fork to fully incorporate sesame seeds.
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat. Cook and stir onion until browned, 5 to 10 minutes. Add chicken mixture, including marinade, and garlic; saute until chicken is no longer pink in the center and sauce coats chicken pieces, 5 to 8 minutes.
Stir mangoes and cashews into the skillet until just warmed through, about 2 minutes. Serve over rice. Garnish with black pepper.

SWEET AND SOUR SESAME CHICKEN

Sweet and Sour Sesame Chicken image

Sweet and sour chicken is deep-fried breaded white meat chicken, coated or served with sweet and sour sauce. This recipe isn't exactly a 30-minute meal - it takes a little bit of time and preparation, but if you have a few extra minutes, this sesame chicken is 100% worth it. I love how crunchy the chicken is and that the sauce thickens beautifully to coat the chicken. It's not too thin, but not gloopy either; just right. Toss the chicken on a bed of white rice and top with toasted sesame seeds and chopped scallions, and you'll be in dinner heaven.

Time 35m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

Ingredients

10 ounces raw boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into nuggets
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 cup fat-free liquid egg substitute (like Egg Beaters Original)
1/4 cup whole wheat flour
1/4 cup fat-free chicken broth
1 tablespoon cornstarch
2 tablespoons sugar-free pancake syrup
2 tablespoons seasoned rice vinegar
1 tablespoon ketchup
1/2 tablespoon reduced sodium soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
1/2 teaspoon crushed garlic
1 teaspoon sesame seeds
2 tablespoons thinly sliced scallions
red pepper flakes (optional)

Steps:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spray a baking sheet with nonstick spray.
Place chicken in a large bowl and season with salt and pepper. Top with egg substitute and toss to coat.
Put flour in wide bowl. One at a time, shake nuggets to remove excess egg and coat with flour. Evenly lay on the baking sheet. Bake for 10 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through.
To make the sauce, combine broth with cornstarch in a nonstick skillet; whisk to dissolve. Set heat to medium low. Add syrup, vinegar, ketchup, soy sauce, sesame oil, and garlic. Mix well. Cook and stir until thick enough to coat a spoon, 2 - 3 minutes.
Remove skillet from heat. Add chicken and toss to coat.
Plate and sprinkle with sesame seeds and scallions. If you like, add a sprinkle of red pepper flakes. Eat up!
