6. Remove the chicken pieces.

8. Add the ground cinnamon and the honey, stir and cook until the sauce has a honey-like consistency.

10. When the sauce is almost ready, saute the almonds in oil.

11. Drain most of the oil from the pan, and toast the sesame seeds.

12. Return the chicken to the pot and reheat.

13. Place the chicken on a serving tray, pour the sauce on top of it and top with the almonds and the sesame seeds.
