Well, with this sesame chicken, it is pretty much the same thing! You can make the sauce in about 5 minutes, and it uses pre-breaded, fully-cooked chicken. Faster, tastes better, and just as easy as takeout. What Is Sesame Chicken? Sesame chicken is something you will find on almost every takeout menu and Chinese restaurant in the United States. It is a very Americanized dish. In China, they have a dish with crispy chicken pieces in a sweet and savory sauce, so it is somewhat based on that. In the United States, it is a thick and delicious sauce that is on the sweeter side because of the brown sugar, or sometimes honey, that is in the sauce. It is tossed with breaded chicken pieces and often served over rice. I recently discovered CHEF’S CRAFT® gourmet chicken in the freezer section at my Walmart. And I have become a big fan. You can check the Store Locator on their site to see where you can find it near you. It is also available at Food Lion and Meijer grocery stores. Honestly, I am usually very hesitant about grilled chicken pieces, I am picky about chicken! But the CHEF’S CRAFT Flame Grilled Chicken Breasts Filets and Chunks have won me over. I have them in my freezer to put on salads, to add to chicken wraps, or even throw in with pasta recipes. The chicken is tender, juicy, and the right texture! For me, texture with pre-cooked frozen chicken is everything, and they are doing it right. To make this crispy sesame chicken super quick and easy, I used CHEF’S CRAFT Gluten-Free Breaded Chicken Breast Chunks. They cook in under 15 minutes in either the air fryer, microwave, or your conventional oven. They are crispy, tender, and my family had no clue they were gluten-free.
