Last Wednesday was basically the only day that we ate healthier. Christian had been practically begging for Chinese Buffet. Instead he settled for a home cooked Chinese meal. I have been searching for a healthy Sesame Chicken recipe that we all like and found a new one at Squidoo to try that didn't involve the deep fryer (the recipe is below). I added some broccoli stems and florets. I served it with veggie stir-fry and rice.
Christian liked this version, but it still wasn't what I was looking for. I would make it again, but I will continue to find another sesame chicken recipe... or something similar.
