Sesame Chicken

Happy Thursday All!  OMG!  December 4th, three weeks to Christmas?  No way?  Time just flies. Hope everyone's week has been good to them, hang on the weekend is almost here :).  Today I'm pulling out a recipe given to me by my hubby!  He purchased me the Better Homes and Gardens New Dieter's Cookbook, I wasn't able to locate the year of publication.  And yes I did ask hubby for this particular Cookbook, he didn't just bring home a diet book, that would have been awkward LOL.  So love the simplicity of this recipe and a taste that won't disappoint you.  When I made this for dinner we wrapped them up in a Roasted Red Pepper Tortilla with Spinach.  Look forward to seeing you Saturday.
