Sesame Chicken

I LOVE getting Chinese take-out! We very rarely get it but I still love it! I always get Sesame Chicken and Dave always gets Sweet & Sour Shrimp. I have found recipes for both of these dishes and feel that they replace our take-out cravings. They are equally as good but a lightened up version of the real thing. Try my Sweet & Sour Shrimp and recreate our favorite Chinese take-out at home!

Sesame Chicken
1 C flour
1/4 C toasted sesame seeds
1 t black pepper
1 t Chinese Five Spice powder
1/2 t cayenne pepper
2 Chicken breasts
8 T Soy Vay Very Very Teriyaki sauce
6 T Honey
8 T Chinese Five Spice Powder
2 T Vegetable oil
1.5 C Rice (I used jasmine this time)
2 C sugar snaps

Slice chicken in to bite size pieces. Combine flour, five spice powder, pepper, cayenne and half of the sesame seeds in plastic bag with the chicken. Toss to combine. Heat wok on high add oil and heat until just smoking. Remove chicken from flour and carefully add to wok. Brown chicken for about five minutes. Remove from wok and lower heat. Add teriyaki, honey and remaining sesame seeds to wok and simmer for 1 minute. Add sugar snaps and chicken and heat through. Serve over cooked rice.
