Sesame Chicken

This recipe comes from lowfatlifestyle.com.  I was trying to eat healthier at one time and this is one of our favorites that stuck with us.  This is Noah's favorite.

Sesame Chicken
6 boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut in strips
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup light soy sauce
1/2 cup water
1 Tablespoon cornstarch
1 Tablespoon ground ginger
1/2 to 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional) (I use at least 1 teaspoon sometimes more)
1 Tablespoon toasted sesame seeds

Heat a large non-stick skillet that has been sprayed with cooking oil spray, over medium high heat.  Cook chicken strips for about 6 minutes until no longer pink and juices run clear.

Mix together honey, soy sauce, water, corn starch,, ginger and red pepper flakes (I double the sauce part).  Whisk until sauce is smooth.  Pour sauce mixture into skillet with chicken and cook until sauce thickens slightly.  Add more water if sauce becomes too thick.   Sprinkle with sesame seeds.  Cover and simmer for 5-10 minutes.  Serve with steamed vegetables and rice.
