I love the sesame chicken you can find at many American Chinese restaurants, such as P.F. Chang''s. Sadly, it doesn''t love me, so I decided I would make a version that isn''t battered and deep fried. This version is baked, so it isn''t exactly like the kind from the restaurants. But, I think it''s a good substitute for when you''re really craving some sesame chicken!
Feel free to add some veggies. Broccoli would be good in this, I''m sure. I''ll try it next time I make this. I just didn''t have any on hand this time. I need to go shopping soon!

Combine all ingredients except chicken in a bowl.
Add chicken, mix together well so the chicken is thoroughly coated in the marinade, cover and let it sit in the fridge for 2 hours or so.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Arrange chicken on a cookie sheet, and pour liquid on top of it.
Bake in oven for 5 minutes, flip chicken pieces with a spatula, and bake for another 5 minutes, or until done.
Serve with brown rice (not included in the Nutritional Info, because everybody likes different amounts of rice, or some might even not want rice at all.)
Makes 4 4-oz servings.
