Sesame Chicken with Orange Ginger Sauce


3 cups cooked rice

Chicken:
6 boneless chicken breasts (I use fillets because they cook faster)
3/4 cups sesame seeds
1 tsp. salt
2 Tbsp. canola oil

Dip chicken in sesame seeds to coat. Season with salt. Saute chicken in oil until light golden brown. Place chicken in a baking pan and finish baking for 20-30 minutes (depending on size of chicken pieces) at 350*.



Sauce:
1 Tbsp. canola oil
1 tsp. peeled and finely chopped ginger root
1 tsp. minced garlic
2 cups orange marmalade
1/2 cup water or orange juice
2 tsp. brown sugar
1/2 cup soy sauce


Saute the ginger root and garlic in a saucepan with oil for three minutes. Add remaining sauce ingredients and stir on low heat until bubbly. Serve over chicken with some rice. Serves six.
