Baked chicken is given an Asian makeover that kids and adults alike will love. They also happen to be super easy to make! When I want easy to eat chicken, I make cornflake chicken, air fryer chicken tenders or these baked sesame chicken fingers.
Now that the holidays are behind us it’s time to get back into old routines. For me, that means more diligence with meal planning and making better food choices. I find that if I have our dinners all planned out for the week it’s less stressful. It also gives me a chance to make sure we’re eating well balanced meals. With this chicken I like to serve slightly heathier fries like my baked french fries or air fryer french fries. However, if I’m busy I can just heat up some frozen french fries.
How do you make baked sesame chicken?
My kids love chicken fingers but I don’t love that they’re deep-fried. I’ve created these baked sesame chicken fingers as a lighter alternative. They pair perfectly with baked or air fryer french fries.
Part of meal planning is coming up with ways to save time. I know in my house we’re all tired by the end of the day and the last thing I want to do is spend hours cooking! This recipe can be prepared in about 30 minutes. The chicken fingers can bake on the same pan as baked french fries. While everything’s in the oven I take a few minutes to make an Asian-style sauce to coat the chicken fingers and a creamy sesame sauce to dip the fries and chicken into.
This meal was a win for my family. The kids loved that they could still have their chicken fingers and fries and I loved sticking to my New Year’s resolution to make good food choices that allow for fast and easy meal prep.
