This recipe offers a delightful twist on oven-baked chicken, combining the nutty flavor of sesame seeds with a savory soy marinade.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking from the start.
In a mixing bowl, combine the toasted sesame seeds, all-purpose flour, and ground black pepper.
Mix thoroughly to ensure an even distribution of ingredients.
Dip each chicken breast into the low-sodium soy sauce, ensuring it is fully coated.
Let the chicken sit for a few minutes to absorb the flavors.
Dredge the soy sauce-coated chicken breasts in the sesame seed mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
Ensure an even coating for a consistent crust.
Arrange the coated chicken breasts in a baking dish and drizzle melted butter over them.
Use a baking dish that fits the chicken snugly for even cooking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked and golden brown.
Check the internal temperature of the chicken to ensure it reaches 165°F (74°C).
Serve the crispy sesame soy chicken warm, garnished with additional sesame seeds if desired.
Pair with your favorite side dishes for a complete meal.
