If you know the first thing about me then you know my immense obsession with Chinese food. It's seriously my favorite thing, right next to bread. Also, if you know the first thing about clean eating then you know that Chinese food is like the farthest extreme you can get in the opposite direction. So saying good bye the my beloved was really hard on that Saturday night where I just need me some orange chicken or sweet and sour chicken!
Good news my fellow Chinese lovers! I have found a sesame chicken recipe that will knock your socks off and delight your taste buds AND it's 21 Day Fix approved! You're welcome. You probably want to jump on over to www.gimmesomeoven.com and thank Ali too because that's where I found this gem!
