Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tbs water
  • 1 1/4 cups dry bread crumbs
  • 1 tbs sesame seeds
  • 4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, cut into 3-inch strips
  • For the dipping sauce:

  • 4 tsp peanut butter
  • 2 tbs water
  • 1 tbs soy sauce
  • fresh parsley sprigs to garnish

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees . Spray nonstick baking sheet with vegetable cooking spray. Set aside.

  2. To prepare sauce, in a blender or food processor fitted with the metal blade, process jam, peanut butter, water and soy sauce until smooth. Set aside.

  3. Place flour in a shallow bowl. In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg and water. On a sheet of waxed paper, combine bread crumbs and sesame seeds. Mix well. Set aside.

  4. Working in batches, coat chicken strips with flour; dip strips in egg, draining off excess. Then dredge in bread crumb mixture, turning to coat. Place in a single layer on prepared baking sheet.
