Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch chunks
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 1 cup Panko*
For the sauce
- ¼ cup reduced sodium soy sauce
- ¼ cup honey
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
- 1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger
- 1 tablespoon Sriracha
- 2 green onions, thinly sliced
- 2 teaspoons sesame seeds
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Lightly oil a 9x13 baking dish or coat with nonstick spray.
- Season chicken with salt and pepper, to taste. Working in batches, dip chicken into eggs, then dredge in Panko, pressing to coat.
- Add chicken to prepared baking dish. Place into oven and bake until golden brown and crisp, about 15-20 minutes.
- In a medium saucepan over medium high heat, combine soy sauce, honey, garlic, hoisin sauce, ginger and Sriracha until slightly thickened, about 1-2 minutes. Stir in chicken and gently toss to combine.
- Serve immediately, garnished with green onions and sesame seeds, if desired.
Notes
*Panko is a Japanese-style breadcrumb and can be found in the Asian section of your local grocery store.

I love the idea behind this! It love how it combines salty and sweet ingredients and how the sauce sticks nicely to the chicken.
<3 This looks out of this world! x
Thank you Chungah. Have a Fun-Filled weekend.
How do you think this would work with pressed tofu?
That sounds like a great idea but unfortunately I cannot answer with certainty as I have never tried this myself.
You could always try it with cauliflower. I do that when I’m not eating meat. This sauce would be so good on it.
Another winner! I made the Overnight French Toast Bake last weekend and it disappeared so fast! Later that day, I treated friends and family to the Artichoke/Spinach Dip Bread along with the Jalapeño Bacon Poppers. They loved these tasty treats!
Thanks for making entertaining so easy!
