Lou,

I knew I had seen a recipe for this somewhere. Here's a link to it:

http://users3.ev1.net/~fontlady/general_chicken.html

I haven't tried it, so I can't vouch for it, but the other recipes I've tried from her site are pretty good.

Hope this helps!

I found this one that is similar and lower carb....

sesame chicken recipe
I was going through some recipes I copied from another site a long time ago and found this one,it is so good and tastes alot like the sesame chicken I get at a chinese restaurant.

Sesame Chicken

4lbs chicken thighs or breast (I cut mine into chunks,but can leave these whole)
1/3 cup soy sauce(use a good brand with 0 or 1 carb)
1/2 cup Splenda
1TBLS black strap molasses
1/4 cup tomato sauce
3TBLS cider vinegar
3 cloves garlic (finely chopped)
1/2 tsp red pepper flakes (optional,if you don't like the heat)
1/4 tsp ground ginger

Heat oil in a large non-stick skillet over med-high heat,add chicken,cook until lightly browned(6-7 minutes)
Remove from heat

Combine remaining ingrediants in a bowl and mix well,pour over chicken and return to heat.Bring to a boil and reduce heat and cover,simmer for 20 miutes or until chicken is done,

Remove chicken to a serving platter,thicken sauce with a little guar gum or xanthium gum and serve with the chicken as a sauce.

---------------------------------------------
I tried to figure up the carbs in this and came up with 5 carbs for 8 servings.
Everyone is very picky and my family loves this dish!
