Sesame Chicken

Submitted by TexasKelly

"This is from my Weight Watchers cookbook. I checked other sesame chicken recipes, and it seems to be a little different from them. It is VERY easy to make, and the ingredients are probably already in your kitchen. I made it for my husband, and he told me he wanted me to make it again--he didn't even realize it was a weight watchers recipe. I left it plain, but I think it would taste good with some added veggies and some brown rice."

Not too bad. I think it would have been better as a thick sauce though.

This is great! I added some chili paste to give it that little bit of heat I like so much. Overall awesome recipe that makes it easier to eat healthy

This was very good and it took no time to prepare. I cut the chicken breasts up into bite sized pieces before cooking it and then I served it over quinoa with steamed vegetables.

I have made this before and then I lost the recipe. I was so glad to see it here! This is SO simple to make! I cut my chicken up into chunks and cook that way, and I add chopped up broccolli florets to it, and serve it over brown rice! Thank you for the recipe, its a great one and highly reccomended by me! although I will recalculate the fat count on this, I dont think 17g sounds right! Made the way suggested I get 420 calories and only 7g of fat, Im wondering if they didnt include skin in the fat count? I use skinless chicken for sure!
