Turn chicken once during cooking. Remove chicken to platter, draining juices back into pan. Skim fat from sauce.
Blend together cornstarch and water and stir into sauce. Cook stirring constantly, until thickened. Spoon some sauce over chicken, sprinkle with sesame seeds*. Serve chicken with remaining sauce.
*Sesame seeds need to be toasted to develop their nutlike flavor. Toast sesame seeds in shallow pan at 350�F for 10 minutes, stirring frequently.
