A delightful twist on a classic baked chicken recipe, featuring a crispy sesame coating.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Ensure the oven is fully preheated to achieve even cooking.
Trim any excess fat from the chicken breasts and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Use a sharp knife for precise trimming.
Add the mayonnaise to the bowl and coat the chicken breasts evenly.
Using your hands can help ensure an even coating.
In a plastic bag, combine the crushed corn flakes, sesame seeds, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Seal the bag and shake well to mix the ingredients thoroughly.
Place each mayonnaise-coated chicken breast into the bag, one at a time, and shake to coat with the mixture.
Press the coating onto the chicken gently to ensure it adheres well.
Arrange the coated chicken breasts in a baking dish.
Leave some space between the pieces for even cooking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 40 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is golden brown.
Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Serve the crispy sesame chicken hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
Pair with your favorite sides for a complete meal.
