I love love love Sesame Chicken, you guys. If we pick up take-out, that’s the only thing I ever order. Of course, the quick to order kind is loaded with all kinds of bad things.
I have my own slow cooker version using homemade date paste which is quite tasty, but also time consuming. You have to soak the dates, create a paste, then slow cook chicken for several hours. I still love my cleaned up version and make it when I have the time, but I have found a new way to get my Sesame Chicken fix [that’s a thing, I promise] in much less time!
I personally like to make my Sesame Chicken Stir-Fry with chicken thighs to add more flavor, since we end up taking the dinner leftovers for lunch the following day, but boneless, skinless chicken breasts will work just as well, of course. I top my stir fry over cauliflower ‘rice’, but use white or brown rice, noodles, lettuce wraps, etc if you want. Simple, fast, tasty. Enjoy!

That looks yummy! I love cauliflower rice too. It makes such a nice substitute for white rice and fools my brain. lol
Nichole says
The first few times I made faux rice, I overcooked it and it was super mushy, but now I can cook it like a PRO!
Renee says
I really like the cauliflower rice part. I never seem to think of it and it’s nice to have such a tasty looking reminder.
