Baked Imperial Chicken w/ Cumberland Sauce

1/2 c. grated parmesan cheese
3 TBSP. sesame seeds
2 c. seasoned breaded crumbs
2 chicken (boneless, skinless) cubed, cut up
1/2 c. melted butter

Mix cheese. Sesame seeds & bread crumbs. dip chicken pieces in butter & then in crumb mixture. Place in shallow pan. Dot with butter. Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour. Serve with cumberland sauce.

1 c. red currant jelly (any type)
1 tsp. dry mustard
1/4 tsp. hot pepper sauce
1 (4 oz) can frozen orange juice
1/8 tsp. ground ginger

Combine and simmer on medium head until smooth. Spoon over baked chicken pieces. :)

**tips: I like to use more parmesan cheese & less bread crumbs if I am making it for a less-formal meal. Also, you can make the chicken larger & make them into chicken tenders & fry them thus dipping them in either ketchup, BBQ sauce, Ranch, or honey mustard. :) ***
