Super Easy Sesame Chicken Recipe

This super easy sesame chicken recipe is so good! Nobody will no it took you less than ten minutes to make it!

What do you do when your local grocery store has both chicken breasts and sesame seeds on sale at the same time? 

Silly question, I know. I mean, you’re here because we’re talking about sesame chicken. 

I love Chinese food. LOVE. The problem is, it tends to take a while to make the more traditional recipes. So. I came up with this easier version for a quick lunch. 

It’s easy. The only thing that’s a little bit time intensive is cutting up your meat, which you can totally avoid by purchasing pre-cut pajama meat if you’re so inclined.

I used chicken breasts because like I said, they were on sale. And they were YUM!
