It's definitely nice to bring variety in cooking and try recipes that are not in the traditional area, like this Chinese honey sesame chicken recipe.

I thought it will be a difficult recipe, that will take me a lot of time. I was actually surprised of how quickly and easy it is to prepare this delicious chicken. You can make this recipe with either chicken or turkey breast, will be as good.
