Sesame Crusted Chicken with Wasabi Cream Sauce
1
Put chicken breasts between 2 sheets of wax paper and pound chicken until slightly flattened. Pour teriyaki sauce into a sealable plastic bag, add chicken and close bag. Turn bag so that sauce has a chance to coat each piece of chicken. Refrigerate for up to 24 hours.
2
Combine wasabi, sour cream, lemon juice and rind and beat until smooth. Cover and refrigerate until serving time.
3
Preheat the barbecue to medium heat.
4
Mix black and white sesame seeds on a plate. Remove chicken from teriyaki sauce and throw out bag. Pat chicken with paper towel to remove extra sauce.
5
Dip each piece in beaten egg then coat with sesame seeds, pressing the seeds into the chicken. Transfer chicken to a wax paper lined pan and let stand for 10 minutes to allow the coating to set.
6
Grill for 5-7 minutes per side with the lid down or until a meat thermometer reads 165ºF (74ºC). Serve immediately with wasabi cream sauce on the side.
Notes: Black sesame seeds are available at Oriental grocery stores. If you prefer, use 1 cup (250 mL) of white sesame seeds instead.
Wasabi is Japanese horseradish. It is green and spicy. Prepared wasabi is a ready-to-use paste that comes in a tube. Add more or less wasabi depending on your desire for heat.
