Simple Sautéed Sesame Chicken Recipe

Super easy and absolutely delicious! If you have kids (or any other non-spicy eaters) you will want to scale back the red pepper flakes. IMHO the sweet and heat really makes it, though. Will definitely be making this again.

I thought this was quite good. I did use the honey and brown rice. Also added some Asian vegetables and mushrooms halfway through cooking the chicken. As such, I added a little more toasted sesame oil, honey and low sodium soy sauce. I'll be making this again.

Very quick and simple recipe. However, it was over-the-top peppery and spicy. The second time I made it, I cut the pepper to 1/4 tsp and the red pepper flakes to 1/2 tsp. It is still a little too spicy for me but others will probably like it. I also didn't use the olive oil and cooked the chicken in the air fryer for 5 minutes at 375 degrees.

Loved this! Substituted soy sauce for 1 Tbsp Yoshiman’s teriyaki marinade, and it wasn’t too salty. Didn’t have sesame oil so I replaced it with olive oil and it tastes fine. Added steamed broccoli spears to the top, along with 1/2 cup cut cashews and chopped scallions which I tossed in with the chicken during the last few mins. Served over 1/2 cup quinoa. Quick, easy, and delicious!

This was AMAZING! I sauteed onions and red and yellow bell peppers first, then added the chicken. I toasted about 2 T of sesame seeds and put that on top, which added greatly to the flavor of the dish. I served it over brown rice and served it with an Asian salad. Will definitely be repeating this recipe!!!

I added the honey because I wanted the sweet with the heat but it was not sweet at all and more salty than I expected. I should have read the reviews to cut out the salt altogether since the soy sauce is salty. Hubby said it was fine but I was not a fan of this and if I did make it again (cuz it was pretty easy to put together) I would not add the salt and I would add a tablespoon of honey instead of 2 teaspoons.

I made this according to the recipe. I did double it, and added filet mignon along with the chicken. IT WAS GREAT!!!! I made white rice to go with it, but next time I’ll make fried rice.

This will be a great dish next time I make it - as is, it’s way too salty for our tastes! Suggest omitting the 1 tsp salt and let the reduced sodium soy sauce add all the sodium that is needed. I Had to add other ingredients to try to eliminate the overpowering salt flavour.

It was yummy! I substituted flour with gluten free flour mix and gluten free soy sauce. However I used a stainless steel frying pan, added cashews, onions and colorful peppers. Loved it!

We omitted the honey cause im watching carbs and toned down the heat a little and it was really good. Will definitely make again. We ate it too fast for a photo lol

I really liked this recipe a lot and will make again. It's quick and easy. I felt it odd that using regular soy sauce instead of low sodium (all I had on hand) would make it too salty but I found that was not the case and ended up adding a little salt at the end. I also cut WAY back on the red pepper and I was glad I did. Don't use more than a few sprinkles if your family doesn't like spicey food. I also wish I could have added toasted sesame seeds at the end, it would have really kicked it up a notch. But in the end it is much healthier than takeout and we enjoyed it very much.

Simple, good flavor, not labor intensive. Perfect weeknight dinner and my pickiest kid loves it.

Made it and it was great. Cut back on the red pepper flakes and added a little more honey. Served over white rice with a side of broccoli florets. Will make this again

A little on the spicy side, but personally I prefer a recipe that way. Very tasty, quick, and easy. But also interesting enough to spice up your usual boring old chicken. Would make again! I also think it would taste good with sesame seeds like the picture; they aren't in the ingredient list.

If you're expecting a sweet flavor from the honey, this isn't it. It had a bland flavor to me. I added more garlic powder and honey and decided to add frozen pineapple, that picked it up a bit. We liked it okay.

So much flavor, I’m impressed.

Even picky eaters couldn’t resist.

This recipe was quite easy to make and was delicious! Even though it has honey in it, it wasn't sweet at all. I might try adding a bit more honey when I make it again. I served it with a garlic rice, and the family loved it.

You didn't mention it in your recipe but, judging by the photo I am guessing that you sprinkled sesame seeds over the chicken at the end.

Even my kids loved it.
