Instructions

Working time approx. 10 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 45 minutes; Total time approx. 55 minutes

Toast the sesame seeds in a dry pan for a few minutes until fragrant. Peel the garlic and ginger and chop both finely. Mix together the chicken stock, soy sauce, honey, ginger, garlic, lemon juice, sesame oil, and spices. Stir in the tomato paste. Stir the starch well into the sauce with a whisk. Place the chicken breasts in a baking dish and pour the sauce over them. Bake in a preheated oven at 150°C (top/bottom heat) for 30-45 minutes (depending on the size of the breasts). Remove the dish from the oven and pull the chicken breasts apart with two forks. Mix well with the sauce. The pulled chicken is best served over rice or fried noodles with broccoli or Asian vegetables. Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds to finish.
