A healthier, simpler, and more savory take on sesame chicken. This recipe can be made with regular flour or with a gluten-free flour mix, along with basic ingredients you can already find in your kitchen. My husband absolutely loves it and it is the perfect alternative to a night in with take-out. Best served with steamed rice, broccoli, carrots, and water chestnuts. Serve with steamed rice and vegetables.

Simple Sauteed Sesame Chicken

chicken breast

salt

black pepper

all-purpose flour

red pepper flakes

garlic powder

onion powder

soy sauce

sesame oil

honey

olive oil

Cut chicken breasts into 1 1/2-inch slices about 1/4-inch thick. Season with salt and pepper. Combine flour, red pepper flakes, garlic powder, and onion powder in a large bowl. Add chicken and toss well. Add soy sauce, sesame oil, and honey; stir to coat.


Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and juices run clear, 10 to 15 minutes.


Super easy and absolutely delicious! If you have kids (or any other non-spicy eaters) you will want to scale back the red pepper flakes. IMHO the sweet and heat really makes it, though. Will definitely be making this again.

Pretty quick to put together. Flavor is great! Even the kids loved it. I added some toasted sesame seeds. Will make again!

My family loved the recipe. The only thing I would change is omitting the salt because the soya sauce is salty enough.

It was yummy!  I substituted flour with gluten free flour mix and gluten free soy sauce.  However I used a stainless steel frying pan, added cashews, onions and colorful peppers. Loved it!

Simple is right and very tasty.  Like others, I added some peppers, onions, and cashews.  Served over brown rice and it was a hit.  Green onions would be really good on this as well.

This will be a great dish next time I make it - as is, it’s way too salty for our tastes! Suggest omitting the 1 tsp salt and let the reduced sodium soy sauce add all the sodium that is needed. I Had to add other ingredients to try to eliminate the overpowering salt flavour.

It was spicy, so next time I’m doing half the red pepper lakes. But other than that it was a hit!!

I will make it again. I will use less pepper but otherwise so easy and so good.

All I added was toasted sesame seeds and it was delicious over rice! Added it to my favorites! It is quick and easy!

We loved it, I did add toasted sesame seeds.

Super easy and delicious! A new favorite.

This was really easy to throw together.  I used the exact measurements and ingredients, but added veggies and rice at the end.  Delicious, and the whole family enjoyed it.

Very easy to make and the family loved it. The honey is a must.

Delicious and easy to prepare.  This dish offered a delightfully different flavor. I'll be making it again.

well, I like that AllRecipes is able to ADJUST now (if you could do that before I didn't know it) for the amount of servings.  I only had 2 defrosted chicken breasts and that capability allowed me to get down to 2 breasts.  Neat.  BUT, there was no way I was going to get by on just 1 TBSP of flour, 1/2 TSP of garlic powder,  and 1 TBSP of soy sauce!  Crazy!  But fortunately, it didn't seem to matter how much I used of all the ingredients; it actually worked!  Pretty good recipe.

I made this just as written and it is delicious!  Easy too. Served with rice and stir-fry vegetables.

Edit on my previous comment: my husband loves it without honey. We have been making this weekly and doubling the heat! Fabulous

Super easy and was a hit with the kids. This ones going in the save pile

Super easy and fast to make. Little spicy, I would add one tsp less red pepper flakes next time. Very flavourful. Will definitely make this 9ne over and over again. My new favorite chicken recipe.

Delicious Baked it longer to brown, a little dry, definitely bake less.

VERY tasty.  I made it with steamed broccoli and carats over cauliflower rice. The recipe is a bit on the hot side.   My wife said she’d use less pepper flakes.
