P.F. Chang's Sesame Chicken Recipe

There's something so, so good about P.F. Chang's Sesame Chicken that always makes me eat more than I should!
The secret is in the deliciously sweet and savory sesame sauce that coats every bite of the crispy chicken.
I always use tempura chicken breast, which delivers such a memorable crunch and texture.
My favorite part of this recipe is how the sauce complements the chicken with just the right amount of flavor.
Don't forget to add steamed broccoli and bell peppers for a colorful plate that not only tastes good but looks inviting too!
