Skinny Sesame Chicken

My boyfriend really loves Asian food. While I also like it, I really don’t like how wildly unhealthy it is. This recipe has lots of flavor with a lot less fat. This way, we both get what we want!

Ingredients
  

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1.5 lbs chicken breast cut in 1 inch chunks

  • 1 tbsp corn starch
  • 2 tbsp sesame seeds

Instructions

  • In a blender (I use a small Ninja Fit), blend together the sesame oil, garlic, ginger, sriracha, chicken broth, soy sauce, honey and corn starch until smooth
  • Pour mixture into warm skillet and heat up
  • When sauce starts to thicken, add chicken to sauce and mix well so that all the chicken pieces are coated
