Light and Flavorful Sesame Chicken for Healthy Eating

    Cuisine:

    I'm not sure if it was the 5 spice I bought, but my husband came downstairs thinking I was backing some wonderful CINNAMON treat. That's what this sesame chicken smelled and tasted like. Everything else smelled and looked great, but adding that 5 spice totally ruined mine. I should have left it out and just used the sauce without it. SO, smell your spice first, if it smells like something you bake with, you need a different brand. Oh and I have used in the past, I know it gives a nice undertone of seasoning, just not this one I bought. Just an FYI, be careful!

    Weight Watchers Sesame Chicken, The restaurant version of this dish is loaded with fat, thanks to deep frying WW has coated the chicken with flour and then pan-seared it to lighten it up 4 points per serving , I’m not sure if it was the 5 spice I bought, but my husband came downstairs thinking I was backing some wonderful CINNAMON treat That’s what this sesame chicken smelled and tasted like Everything else smelled and looked great, but adding that 5 spice totally ruined mine I should have left it out and just used the sauce without it SO, smell your spice first, if it smells like something you bake with, you need a different brand Oh and I have used in the past, I know it gives a nice undertone of seasoning, just not this one I bought Just an FYI, be careful!, I really liked the way the chicken came out It was tender and flavorful I did think the ginger was a tad bit overpowering, but it could be because I had to omit the five spice powder Next time I make it, I will double the sauce and lessen the ginger just a tad My DS LOVED it and DH did not even know he was eating diet food! THANKS!
