Orange Sesame Chicken
Chinese takeout is not really an option for us, since it’s about 5o something miles to the nearest Chinese restaurant. On occasion I try my hand at something that hope will resemble the Chinese food that I so love. This one was pretty good, not too difficult and quicker than takeout, especially for me! Try it out, you’ll be glad you did.

1 1/2 pounds chicken tenders
