Recipes..BAKED SESAME CHICKEN yummy

INGREDIENTS:
4 Chicken Breasts, boneless and skinless, cubed
1 1/2 cups panko breadcrumbs
canola oil for drizzling
Salt and pepper
SESAME SAUCE
1 tablespoon sesame oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 teaspoons ground ginger
1 teaspoon chili paste, or 1 teaspoon sweet chili sauce
1 pinch red pepper flakes
1/2 cup chicken stock
3/4 cup soy sauce (low sodium)
1/3 cup honey
1/4 cup rice wine vinegar
1/3 cup brown sugar, packed
2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons water
sesame seeds, toasted for garnish
Green onions for garnish
DIRECTIONS:
Heat the oven to 350 degrees.
Spray a cookie sheet with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
Season the chicken with a little salt and pepper and then dredge in the panko bread crumbs until they are evenly coated.
Place on the baking sheet, drizzle with a little oil and bake for 20 to 30 minutes or until cooked through.
FOR THE SAUCE
In a sauce pan over medium heat, add the sesame oil, garlic, ginger, chili paste, and pepper flakes and stir for a few seconds then quickly add the stock, soy sauce, honey, vinegar and brown sugar.
Stir until it comes to a boil.
In a small dish, whisk together the cornstarch and water, once the mixture is boiling, slowly add the cornstarch mixture, stirring until thickened. Often I turn it to a simmer while I check the chicken.
Once thick, pour over chicken and top with sesame seeds.
