Pound each chicken breast half to flatten. Place chicken in a bowl and add salt, pepper, and sherry; stir to coat. Set aside for 30 minutes.
To make lemon sauce, whirl pineapple slices in a blender until smooth. Then combine with remaining sauce ingredients in a small saucepan; set aside.
In a shallow bowl, combine bread crumbs and sesame seeds. Dip chicken into egg, then roll in bread crumbs, shaking off excess. Set aside for 5 minutes.
Set wok in a ring stand and add oil to a depth of 2 inches. Place over medium-high heat until oil reaches 350 to 360 degrees. Add chicken, 2 pieces at a time, and deep fry for 3 to 4 minutes or until golden brown and meat is no longer pink when slashed, turning occasionally. Lift out and drain on paper towels. Place on a heatproof dish and keep warm in a 200 degree oven while deep-frying remaining chicken.
Meanwhile, cook sauce over medium-high heat, stirring, until sauce boils and thickens slightly.
Cut chicken into strips and arrange on a serving platter. Pour sauce over chicken and garnish edge of platter with additional pineapple slices. Serve hot.
This recipe yields 4 servings.
Tip: For a crispier crust, fry the chicken a second time before serving.
