Name: Sesame Chicken Bites
Prep time: 20 min
Cook time: 10 min
Total time: 30 min

Ingredients

SAUCE:
3/4 cup mayonnaise
4 teaspoons honey
1-1/2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
CHICKEN:
1/2 cup dry bread crumbs
1/4 cup sesame seeds
2 teaspoons minced fresh parsley
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon ground mustard
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
2 to 4 tablespoons canola oil

Directions

In a small bowl, mix sauce ingredients. Refrigerate until serving.
In a shallow bowl, mix bread crumbs, sesame seeds and parsley. In a separate shallow bowl, mix mayonnaise and seasonings. Dip chicken in mayonnaise mixture, then in crumb mixture, patting to help coating adhere to all sides.
In a large cast-iron or other heavy skillet, heat 2 tablespoons oil over medium-high heat. Add chicken in batches; cook until chicken is no longer pink, turning occasionally and adding additional oil as needed. Serve with sauce.

This is a crowd pleaser. I used breast tenderloins and it turned out great. We enjoy them as a meal or cut into bite sized pieces for an appetizer. Enjoy!

Wow! This recipe was quite the hit in the household. I had made nearly double the chicken in case my son had friends over. It was a good thing he did not because just our family of 4 devoured. I found it helpful to add most of the chicken to the mayonnaise mixture at one time. My mayonnaise mixture was a bit thick and doing one of time would have left me with not enough for all of the chicken
