Join the discussionThis is a wonderful quick meal, Tricia, for both GF and non-GF diets.
My hubby and son love sesame chicken. I may need to give this a whirl for them. Thanks for sharing.
You’re welcome!
Hope you enjoy it! I liked serving it with broccoli (like in the photo) or stir-fried bok choy or pea pods.
Do you think I can use a different kind of vinegar with it?
If you don’t have rice vinegar on hand, you can use white wine vinegar or cider vinegar in the same amount.
Thanks! I made this with white wine vinegar tonight for my family and guests. My husband couldn’t stop talking about how good it was! I’ll probably reduce the vinegar next time (I could really notice it), but it was great! Thanks!
My girls have always loved sesame chicken and we too are cutting costs where we can. This dish was perfect! We were watching some friends kids and they loved it too. So much so that we didn’t have any leftovers – I will definitely make some for the freezer next week.
I am so glad you liked this. It is one of my family’s favorites, too! 🙂
Looking at many of your recipes and am super excited to make this!! I have all of the ingredients!! YAY!!
I hope you enjoy this! 🙂
In the ingredients you say there is sugar but when you explain the recipe i dont see where sugar is added
Hi Maggie. The sugar is the very first ingredient that you use, it’s in the first sentence. I know it isn’t listed in the order that it appears in the recipe. I hope you enjoy!
when do you add the broccoli? I see it in the picture but not sure if you add it day of or freeze it
Thank you so much for bringing this to our attention! The broccoli has been added. We apologize for the confusion. Please let us know if you have more questions!
Soy sauce is NOT gluten free. Tamari sauce is GF.
There are a few brands that make a GF soy sauce, but definitely feel free to substitute for Tamari sauce if you like. You could also use liquid aminos or coconut aminos as a GF substitute.
