Chicken with sesame seeds? An excellent idea!
The list goes on when we sit and discuss the perks and uses of chicken in our dishes, but one of the main reasons why we are mentioning this meat category is to give people a fine look at a recipe that is not only easy to make but delicious in its way.
We are talking about the sesame chicken recipe, a dish made in most Chinese restaurants throughout the United States. This dish is compared to Tso’s chicken, an authentic Chinese dish, but the flavor of chicken is different from the original recipe. It’s sweet rather than spicy like Tso’s chicken.
The uniqueness of this dish is the flavor and addition of sesame seeds which gives a heartwarming aroma and flavors the word. Aside from making it tasty, it becomes a healthy and light treat to be consumed with another side dish like boiled rice while managing dinner preparations.
