Simple chicken dish with a slight Chinese tilt.
Directions
Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook sesame seeds until they are toasted light brown and then set to the side. If the sesame seeds are already toasted, then skip this step.
In a small bowl, combine water, soy sauce, maple syrup, sherry, ginger and five-spice powder. Whisk and then set to the side.
In a shallow dish, combine flour, salt and pepper. Cut chicken into 2 inch strips and then coat in the mixture, shaking to remove any excess.
Heat peanut oil in non-stick skillet over medium high heat. Add chicken and cook for about 5 minutes, until browned on all sides.
Add soy sauce mixture to chicken in skillet and cook for about 3 minutes, until sauce thickens.
Sprinkle sesame seeds and any additional sauce on chicken and serve. Makes about 4 strips per serving.
