Pin TRY: Heatlhy Sesame Chicken

Happy College Football Saturday, blog world. I am rooting for my LSU Tigers today as I always do. Hopefully, we will win this weekend against South Carolina. If we don't, especially after the way we played Florida last weekend, I might cry.

Deeeeeeelicious!

Oh well, moving on to more important things... liiiike cooking something delicious for dinner. I made Healthy Sesame Chicken, which I found on, you guessed it - Pinterest. I love Chinese food, but hate that guilty feeling after I pound a huge plate of deliciousness. I actually repinned this from my mom and sent her a picture of my finished product. When I sent it, she asked me where I got the recipe from.... uhhhh... you? Haha.

This was super easy for a "not-so-awesome-but-I-try-really-really-hard-but-I-think-we'll-have-to-eat-at-McDonald's-tonight" type of cook. Not being too specific or anything. 

Drumroll for the recipe which originally came from http://thewaytohisheart.wordpress.com/about/.



Ingredients

Excellent

• 1/2 cup unbleached flour or 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/4 tsp salt
•  1/8 tsp ground black pepper
• 4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves, cut into medium sized pieces
• 1/4 cup reduced sodium soy sauce, use less if you have a sensitivity to salt
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1/2 tsp dark sesame oil
• 2 Tbsp sesame seeds, toasted
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh scallions (both green and white)

In a gallon-size plastic bag, combine flour, salt, and pepper. Add chicken, seal bag, and shake well to coat.
Coat a large nonstick skillet with nonstick spray and warm over medium-high heat. Add chicken to skilllet and cook, stirring, for 3 to 4 minute, or until no longer pink. Transfer to a plate.
Reduce heat to medium. Combine soy sauce and sugar in skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves, about 1 to 2 minutes max. Add oil and sesame seeds. Add chicken and scallion. Toss and serve immediately.
