Sesame seeds are highly nutritious and add to the flavor of this unique chicken dish.
Ingredients:
- 3 chicken breast halves
- cup of Tahini (sesame seed paste)
- 2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil (more if your Tahini is thick)
- 2-3 tablespoons soy sauce (The light one works best, use more or less to your taste or use tamari sauce)
- 1 teaspoon sugar or honey
- 2 teaspoons minced fresh ginger
- tablespoon hot chili oil
- 1 tablespoon vinegar
- 1 finely chopped scallion (chop more for garnish)
Steps/Methods:
Bring a large pot (8-12 cups) of salted water to a boil. Add 3 bone in or bone less chicken breast halves. Cool until cooked through and no longer pink, 6 to 10 minutes (bones take longer to cook.) Remove from water and cool. Once cool, (remove bones if there) and shred into pieces.)
Combine in a medium bowl:
Tahini, toasted sesame oil, soy sauce, sugar or honey, ginger, hot chili oil, vinegar and chopped scallion.
Toss the chicken with the sauce in the bowl. Serve at room temperature topped with a hearty sprinkling of sesame seeds and/or seeded and sliced fresh cucumber.
