Sesame Chicken & Teriyaki Chicken

Jan requested I post the recipe for Sesame chicken. I found it in the Warner Robins Relief Society recipe book a long time ago. It was submitted by Carol Anne Daniels. I decided to go ahead and post my teriyaki chicken as well.

Sesame Chicken

Uncooked cubed chicken (2-4 lbs.)
1/2 c. soy sauce
1 tsp. ground ginger
1 clove garlic, minced
1/4 c. brown sugar
1/2 tsp. pepper
1/2 c. chopped green onions
1/2 c. toasted sesame seeds

Mix together all ingredients and marinate chicken for at least 2 hours. Place chicken and marinade on a large cookie sheet in a single layer. Broil until brown, stirring frequently, about 15 minutes. Serve over rice.

I have made it this way, but I have also tweaked it a little and now I will usually add a little oil and instead of cut up chicken I will marinate whole chicken breast tenderloins, then I will put it in a 9x13 pan and cover with foil. Then I cook it at 400 for about 1 hour. A lot of times I will do one pan of sesame chicken and one pan of teriyaki chicken. My teriyaki marinade is below and then I just cook them the same way. I have also cooked the teriyaki on the grill before, very yummy.

Teriyaki Chicken Marinade

1/2 c. soy sauce
1/2 c. brown sugar
1/2 c. chopped green onions
1/3 c. oil
1-1 1/4 tsp ginger
2 cloves garlic (1 tsp. minced)

Sorry for the long post, but I think I remember Bob and Dresden requesting these recipes before too.

I remember you making both of these for Maren's baby blessing! They are both very good.
I was planning on posting my mom's sesame chicken because I like it a lot.
