sesame encrusted baked chicken

i was looking for some sort of chicken recipe that was something that i have done before. i came across this recipe this morning and read the reviews. they all said that this recipe was amazing. since i had all the ingredients on hand, i decided that i would try this for dinner tonight. my family loved it! (even my daughter ate it and she hardly ever eats any meat). this is definitely something that i will be making again. i used a sweet chili sauce to dip it in. my son loved it in ketchup and my husband said that he wants to try it with bbq sauce. the best part about this recipe is how simple it is! it literally only took 20 minutes from start to finish! i served with rice with spinach and roasted broccoli. it was a great, easy, healthy recipe that my family loved! the best part was my husband saying, "This is really good and I feel like we are eating really healthy."

2 chicken breasts, pounded thin and cut in half
pepper to taste
2 tsp sesame oil
2 tsp low sodium soy sauce
6 tbsp toasted sesame seeds
4 tbsp panko breadcrumbs ( i didn't quite have enough so i added some regular breadcrumbs to the panko)
cooking spray

Preheat oven to 425°. Spray a baking sheet with non-stick oil spray.

Combine the sesame oil and soy sauce in a bowl. In another bowl, combine sesame seeds and panko breadcrumbs.

Place chicken in the bowl with the oil and soy sauce, then into the sesame seed mixture to coat well.

Place on the baking sheet; lightly spray the top of the chicken with oil spray and bake 8 - 10 minutes. Turn over and cook another 4 - 5 minutes longer or until cooked through.
