I have been making this for years from the BH&G magazine. I couldn't find my copy and stumbled onto yours here. This dish is packed with flavor while being diet friendly. Thanks for sharing!!!!

I just made this same recipe from the Better Homes and Gardens Big Book of Healthy Family Dinners (minus the sesame seed addition). It is soooo yummy! (didn't particularly care for the orange/cilantro combo, but love the chix!) The sauce is so yummy. Served with rice and a salad. As well, I cut the chix breasts into small pieces and it seemed to cook faster and coat the chix well. T
