What a lovely recipe Chef Mickie49. It was quick and easy to make with terrific results. The sauce was slightly tart, tangy and full of flavor and the chicken was juicy and tender. My dh absolutely loved this simple dish. I omitted the sesame seeds as I was out. Can't wait to try this again with the sesame seeds, I'm sure they will enhance this lovely dish even more. Thank you for sharing a recipe that I will prepare again.

My teen diva made this for dinner last night. Very easy and family pleasing. Used boneless, skinless chicken thighs. Moist and tender. Thanks.

This is super tasty and easy. To take the flavor up a notch, add 1/4 t sesame oil. Delicious!!

This was super easy and very tasty-even tho' I forgot to add the sesame seeds. Served it with small roasted potatoes and fresh green and yellow beans. There was nothing left for lunch the next day as I just used 6 chicken thighs as there are only the two of us. May decrease the sauce next time I make it-and remember the sesame seeds!!!
