Sesame Chicken


For this I kind of combined recipes from my mother-in-law and my friend Yvonne.  It turned out really good!

Ingredients:

Oil
1 lb skinless, boneless chicken breast, cubed
1 c chicken broth
1/3 c white sugar
2 T distilled white vinegar
2 T dark soy sauce
2 T sesame oil
1 tsp sweet chili sauce
1 clove garlic, minced
1/4 c cornstarch
1/2 c. water

1 1/2 c broccoli florets
2 T toasted sesame seeds



Cut chicken into 1 inch cubes. Add enough canola oil in your skillet to generously coat bottom. Fry chicken until medium brown. Fry a bit at a time, take out of pan when cooked through, and add more in till all chicken is cooked.

While chicken is frying, prepare sauce by mixing in saucepan chicken broth, sugar, vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil, chili sauce, and garlic.  Bring to a boil.  Dissolve 1/4 c. cornstarch into 1/2 c. water, and stir into boiling sauce.  Simmer until the sauce thickens and turns clear, about 2 minutes.  Reduce heat to low, and keep sauce warm.   Add chicken and broccoli and simmer until done.  Stir in sesame seeds (which I didn't have so I just did it without).
