Recipe

  • 3 floz warm water
  • 16 tablespoon(s) creamy peanut butter
  • 4 tablespoon(s) hoisin sauce
  • 1/4 cup(s) fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1 teaspoon(s) red pepper flakes

  • 24 ounce(s) fat-free chicken breasts, boneless & skinless, cut into 3/4 inch strips
  • 6 tablespoon(s) vegetable oil

Directions

    3. Cut fat off chicken breasts and cut into 3/4-inch strips.
    4. Season strips with salt and pepper and dip into the bowl with sesame seeds. Make sure to press firmly so that the seeds stick to the chicken strips.
    5. In a large skillet, warm 3 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat.
