sesame chicken

Here's a recipe for Sesame chicken! I love it because it's Sooo tasty and yet healthy with lots of Protein. The chicken stays really moist and is great paired with lightly salted in the shell edamame. From a slightly modified Pintrest weight watchers recipe.

4 raw boneless skinless chicken breasts, 6 oz each

1/4 cup flour

1 tsp Kosher salt

1 tsp ground black pepper

Sauce

2 Tbsp soy sauce

2 Tbsp maple syrup (you can sub brown sugar or the half brown sugar half Splenda stuff if you want)

2 Tbsp Water

2 Tbsp dry sherry

2 tsp fresh chopped ginger

2 tsp sesame oil

1 tsp Chinese 5 spice powder ( easy to make your own mix- look online for a recipe)

2 Tbsp white sesame seeds

2 Tbsp peanut oil

Combine sauce ingredients (soy sauce, maple syrup, water, sherry, sesame oil, ginger & five spice) in medium bowl and whisk thoroughly to meld flavors. Set aside.

In a small pan, over medium heat gradually toast sesame seeds until they take on a light golden color. Take off heat and set aside.

Preheat wide skillet on medium high on the stove with peanut oil added into pan when hot.

Take your chicken breasts and cut them into about 1 inch chunks. Combine the flour, salt and pepper in a shallow dish and use the mix to coat the chicken on all sides a few pieces at a time, shaking off excess flour, then place in preheated skillet Repeat until all chicken pieces are coated and added to hot pan. In a hurry? Try adding flour mix to gallon size ziplock bag and add chicken pieces. Seal bag, and shake until pieces are thoroughly coated, remove from bag and add to skillet- attempt to shake off excess flour off chicken on the way to the skillet.

Brown the chicken on each side until golden brown (will smell like fried chicken!). Once all pieces are golden on multiple sides, add the sauce mixture (still on med high heat) and stir as sauce thickens- about 1-2 min. Add toasted sesame seeds and stir to coat chicken.

Serve and enjoy! Will serve 4 pre sleeve folks, will make lots more for you post sleeve folks. Did someone say leftovers for lunch?
