Fry the sesame seeds, stirring occasionally, in a dry frying pan until light golden brown.

Wash the chicken fillet and dry. Wrap the fillet tightly in a piece of foil so that the juice released during baking does not leak out. Place the meat in foil on a baking sheet and bake in an oven preheated to 180°C for 30-35 minutes until cooked. Instead of baking, you can boil the fillet in salted water or fry in vegetable oil until golden brown. Choose the method of preparing the chicken to suit your taste.
