STICKY SESAME CHICKEN

STICKY SESAME CHICKEN

Serves 4

Ready in about 30 mins
3 syns per portion on Extra Easy

 

4 chicken breasts (cut into chunks)
salt and pepper
2 eggs (beaten)
2 tbsp plain flour 
1/4 pt (140 ml) chicken stock
2 tbsp rice wine vinegar
1 tbsp cornflour
2 tbsp sweetener
1 tbsp tomato puree
1/2 tbsp light soy sauce
1 clove garlic (crushed)
1 tsp sesame seeds
Stir Fry Veg of your choice and rice or noodles to serve

 

1.	Preheat oven to 375/190/gas 5
2.	Line a couple of baking trays with non stick baking parchment/greaseproof paper
3.	Place beaten eggs in a small bowl and next to that place a shallow bowl with the plain flour and season the flour with salt and pepper.
4.	Dip each piece of chicken first into the beaten egg and then into the flour and place each piece on a baking tray
	Note:  if you want to save a syn or two you could just cook the chicken without the egg/flour combo as I ran out of flour before all the chicken was coated so I cooked without and once the lovely sticky sauce is on there was very little difference in the taste.
5.	Bake in the oven for about 15 minutes then remove from the oven.
6.	While the chicken is cooking make the sauce.  In a small pan place the stock, cornflour, vinegar, tomato puree, soy sauce, sweetener and garlic mix well and whisk on a medium heat until sauce is thickened and smooth.
7.	Cook the stir fry veg, noodles (if having rice check cooking times)
8.	Put the chicken in the sauce and mix well so the sticky sauce coats the chicken.
9.	Serve with stir fry veg and rice or noodles and sprinkle each portion with ¼ tsp of sesame seeds.  Delicious!
