Sticky Sesame Chicken
Need some meal prep Inspo? Want to make something that’s tasty, healthy for the kids and will keep well in the fridge for the following 4 days? Tired of chicken & veggies?
I made this for Sticky Sesame Chicken this week and it was DELICIOUS! SO great. And while there are quite a few ingredients, the only thing I needed from the shop is the chicken breast - everything else were things I already had in my cupboard!

INGREDIENTS:
▢ 2 tbsp Olive Oil
▢ 2 eggs - lightly beaten
▢ 30g cornflour
▢ 100g plain flour
▢ 1 tsp salt
▢ 1 tsp pepper
▢ 1 tsp garlic salt
▢ 2 tsp paprika
▢750g chicken breast- chopped into bite-size chunks
FOR THE STICKY SAUCE:
▢1 tbsp sesame oil
▢ 2 cloves garlic, minced
▢ 1 tbsp rice vinegar or white wine vinegar
▢ 2 tbsp honey
▢ 2 tbsp sweet chilli sauce
▢ 3 tbsp tomato sauce
▢ 2 tbsp brown sugar
▢ 4 tbsp soy sauce
To Serve:
▢100g Rice per serve
▢ 1 tsp sesame seeds per serve
▢ Small bunch spring onions - chopped & sprinkled on each serve
METHOD:
Slice chicken into bite sized strips.
In 3 seperate bowls, place the egg in one, cornflour in another and the flour, salt, pepper, garlic salt and paprika to the 3rd.
Dredge the chicken in the cornflour, then dip in the egg and finally dredge it in the seasoned flour.
Add 1tsp of oil to the pan and heat over medium heat. Add 1/2 the chicken to the pan and cook for 6-7 minutes, turning two or three times during cooking, until well browned. Take chicken out of the pan and place on a paper towel lined plate. Repeat with the 2nd half of the coated chicken and remove from the pan once cooked.
Add all of the sauce ingredients to a bowl and mix. Add to the pan & stir and bubble on a high heat until the sauce reduces by about a third (should take 2-3 minutes). Add the chicken back in and toss in the sauce to coat. Cook for 1-2 minutes.
Using your meal prep containers and/or bowls, add 100g of cooked rice per serve. Divide the chicken between 6 bowls/containers. Top each with 1tsp sesame seeds & sprinkle with sliced spring onions.
Enjoy!
