Sesame Chicken

6 Comments

Jump to Recipe - Print Recipe

This sesame chicken recipe comes together with ingredients you already have in your pantry and cooks in your crock pot in no time.

Sesame Chicken over rice served on a black and white plate

I usually love a good theatrical production in the Good Dinner Mom kitchen. But to be able to place everything in a pot and then go about my day only to come back and dinner is ready, turns me into a culinary magician! This recipe is one you and your family will love on so many levels. The ingredients are readily available in most pantries. And it fits weeknight menus or Sunday “company’s coming” dinner. The sauce has a lighter flavor than sweet and sour chicken. And the simple addition of sesame seeds and scallions will instantly make for an impressive presentation.

    AMAZING! It tasted just as good as any Chinese restaurant, and my family said they would pay me to make it again!! I’ve been trying to find a good sesame chicken recipe for a long time, and this is definitely as good as it gets!
