Sesame Chicken

配料

Who said Chinese food can’t be made healthier?!

This healthier sesame chicken is seriously the bomb.

I coat the chicken pieces in cornstach and sautée instead of deep frying to lighten up this dish.

I also make my sauce from scratch, using healthier ingredients.

The result is a refined sugar free, non-fried sesame chicken that is absolutely delish!

I shared this recipe when I first started this page, and the feedback was 💯💯💯

Served alongside the noodles and salad, this dinner was 🔟 on 🔟 🙌🏻
