Sesame Garlic Chicken

Sesame Garlic Chicken – tender and delicious chicken, with loads of garlic, sesame oil, soy sauce and honey.

Enough with the scones, enough with the magic cakes, it’s time for a nice and good for you chicken recipe. We’re adults after all, so let’s eat like adults. At least on Mondays.

Don’t be sad though because one piece of this sesame garlic chicken will make you forget all about desserts and all about your troubles and will keep you wanting for more. I don’t even know if I can describe how good this chicken is. I’ll try though, because I really really want you to make this.

You know I love my garlic, so I minced 7 whole large garlic cloves in here, even now the house smells like garlic. It’s all good I’m sure the neighbors are jealous and wondering what I’m making. Too late, they can’t come over for chicken, because it’s gone. Besides loads of garlic in this chicken, we have sesame oil, soy sauce, honey, cooking sherry, chicken broth and loads of sesame seeds. I love my sesame oil. There’s something about this oil that makes me so happy. Every time I open the bottle that smell just makes wanna go hmm. This sesame garlic chicken melts in your mouth, it’s tender because it’s baked in that yummy sauce, it’s sweet from the honey, salty from the soy sauce, it’s happiness in your mouth.

This chicken is so easy to make, it’s the perfect chicken for a weeknight dinner served over rice, or lunch with a side salad, or even with some eggs for breakfast.
