Ingredients
  

  • 2 tbsp very hot water
  • 1/2 tsp dry mustard
  • 1/2 cup apricot preserves
  • 1 whole egg white beaten
  • 2 teaspoon ginger root finely shredded
  • 1 whole Garlic clove minced
  • 3/4 tsp salt
  • 1 lb Boneless chicken tenders
  • 1/2 cup sesame seeds
  • 1/4 cup peanut or vegetable oil

Instructions 

  • To make the sweet-sour sauce, combine hot water and mustard in a small bowl. Add apricot preserves; mix well and set aside.
  • To prepare the sesame chicken nuggets, combine the egg white, ginger, garlic, and salt in a shallow bowl or pie plate; mix well. Dip chicken pieces in egg mixture; shake off excess. Coat lightly with sesame seeds, pressing gently to slightly flatten chicken. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 3 minutes per side. Serve with sauce.
