This Sesame Panko Baked Chicken Tenders with Japanese BBQ Sauce is quick and easy. Instead of using just sesame seeds, I actually used Trader Joe's Everything but the Bagel Sesame Seasoning Blend and panko. The Japanese BBQ sauce works perfectly with this chicken. I served it all with broccoli and Japanese sushi rice.
