I am a big believer in “sheet pan” meals. These were first made famous by Sarah Lasry, cookbook author and former restaurant owner. Cooking dinner on a baking sheet is easy, all-in one, and involves zero cleanup – Especially if you use a disposable cookie sheet, like I do. The food cooks evenly and comes out tried and true, every time.

Some of our favorite Chinese dishes include sesame chicken and beef with broccoli. I decided to try to re-create a similar dish on a baking sheet to see what would happen. The result? Moist, juicy and bursting with flavor.

This dish has become one of my most-requested recipes yet. I have a friend who absolutely hates cooking. She just texted me a long thank you for this recipe because she was able to follow it, and everybody loved it! It made me so happy.

This is also a great recipe to feed a hungry crowd on Chol HaMoed. Wishing my readers a wonderful Sukkos and Chag Sameach!

Baked Sesame Chicken with Broccoli

¼ cup light brown sugar
1 heaping tablespoon toasted sesame oil
1 cube frozen grated ginger
Sesame seeds
