Honey Sesame Chicken

Sorry for the hiatus everyone, the past week was stricken with stomach viruses, job loss and extreme exhaustion.  The only thing I could really make was toast. But now that I spent the weekend getting my energy back up to where it normally is and applying to places like a mad woman, I can share with you a new recipe! After days worth of worry and frustration I got back in the kitchen and made this delicious meal but of course forgot to take a picture of the food. It was delicious, it looked like it came straight from the restaurant kitchen!
