Sesame Chicken

in Main Dish, Recipes


This is the best sesame chicken I have ever eaten! I got the recipe from a friend and made few changes. When I make this, I feel like I’m eating at a Chinese restaurant, only this is healthy fresh ingredients and I am saving money by eating at home! I made it with the Bountiful Baskets chicken and it was so juicy! We make this in our house on a regular basis.

Sometimes I will add stir fry vegetables to it and either way, its a hit! I usually use a little less oil and a little extra garlic!
