1tablespoonsesame oil, plus extra for drizzling

Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Start the rice, if using.
Place the chicken breasts, hoisin, soy sauce, and sesame oil into a bowl and mix it around so the chicken is coated.
Mix the black and white sesame seeds in a small bowl. Scatter half onto a baking sheet - not the one you put the parchment on. Place the chicken onto the sesame seeds then sprinkle the remaining over the top.
¼ cup EACH: white and black sesame seeds
Make sure each piece of chicken is coated in sesame seeds and then transfer them to the parchment-lined baking sheet. Drizzle with a little sesame oil. Bake in the oven for 18 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
Toss the salad with the dressing and any extras that are in the bag and serve with cooked rice and the sesame chicken on top.
