Sesame Chicken Recipe

Chicken breasts are cooked with sesame seeds, butter, Parmesan cheese, and spices then served with optional orange sauce.

Ingredients:

• 3/4 cup bread crumbs
• 1/3 cup sesame seeds
• 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese
• 1/4 teaspoon ginger
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/8 teaspoon pepper
• 6 chicken breast halves
• 1/3 cup melted butter

Preparation:

In a shallow dish or pie plate, put bread crumbs, sesame seeds, Parmesan cheese, ginger, salt, and pepper. Dip chicken pieces in melted butter, then coat thoroughly with the bread crumb mixture. Place chicken breasts on a baking sheet and bake at 375° for 45 minutes, or until chicken is tender. Serve with orange sauce, if desired. Makes 6 servings.

Orange Sauce

• 1 tablespoon butter
• 2 tablespoons flour
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 1/2 cup orange juice
• 2 teaspoons finely grated orange peel
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 2 tablespoons vinegar

In a saucepan, melt butter; stir in flour until smooth and well blended. Add chicken broth, orange juice and orange peel. Continue cooking over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture boils. Simmer for 1 to 2 minutes. In another saucepan, combine the sugar and vinegar; cook until golden in color. Stir in orange juice mixture; remove from heat and stir in lemon juice and brandy, if using.
