Buy sesame seeds in small portions because the high oil content can cause them to turn rancid quickly. Keep seeds in a dark, cool area or in the refrigerator for no longer than 3 months.

Ingredients

4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts (4 ounces each)
1 (15-ounce) can crushed pineapple
1/4 cup butter or margarine
1/4 cup sesame seeds
1/4 cup light corn syrup
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons cornstarch
Pineapple rings and chopped parsley (optional)

Directions

1

Cut chicken into bite-size chunks. Drain pineapple, reserving juice. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat; add chicken. Sauté until browned, about 5 minutes.
2

Add pineapple, sesame seeds, corn syrup, lemon juice, soy sauce, ginger and salt; mix well.
3

Dissolve cornstarch in reserved pineapple juice in a glass measure. Add enough water to equal 2 cups. Pour over chicken mixture.
4

Simmer mixture over low heat, stirring occasionally, until sauce is thickened and chicken is cooked through, about 20 minutes. Serve over rice. Garnish with pine-apple rings and parsley.
