Guilt-Free Honey Sesame Chicken
Ingredients
  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup ketchup
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons sesame seeds
  • 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon Sriracha sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1 pound chicken breast, cut into 1-inch cubes
Instructions
1
Combine the sweet and savory flavors of honey, ketchup, oil, sesame seeds, soy sauce, lemon juice, Sriracha sauce, salt, and pepper in a medium-sized bowl. Blend these ingredients together until they are fully incorporated. Add the chicken pieces to this mixture and stir until they are evenly coated with the sauce. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for a period of 2 to 6 hours, allowing the flavors to meld together.
2
Next, preheat your oven to a temperature of 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Transfer the chicken and sauce mixture into an oven-safe dish, ensuring it is suitable for baking.
3
Place the chicken and sauce in the preheated oven and bake for 8 minutes. After removing the dish from the oven, turn the chicken pieces over to ensure even cooking.
4
Continue baking until the chicken is no longer pink in its center and the juices run clear. This should take an additional 5 to 8 minutes, depending on the size and thickness of the chicken pieces. To check if the chicken is cooked, insert an instant-read thermometer into the center of one of the pieces. The temperature should read at least 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
