"Lighter" Sesame Chicken

The obsession with asian food continues, however, our budget doesn't allow us to indulge in the legendary take-out versions very often, so once again, us girls take on another chinese favorite, and do it up in our style.  Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you, Lighter Sesame Chicken.  Make this, and you won't even miss the convenience of having your food delivered to you, I promise.

OH MY GOD, YES.

Lighter Sesame Chicken
1 c. brown rice (bulk item)
3 tbsp. honey ($3.62)
2 tbsp. sesame seeds ($0.15)
2 tbsp. soy sauce ($3.25)
1 garlic clove, chopped (bulk item)
2 large egg whites (bulk item)
1/4 c. cornstarch (bulk item)
1 1/2 lb. boneless chicken breast, cut into 2 inch chunks ($3.27)
2 tbsp. of vegetable oil (bulk item)
10 oz. bag of veggie medley, we used tri-colored peppers ($3.69)
salt and pepper, to taste
Cook rice according to package and set aside.  Whisk egg whites and cornstarch well, add chopped chicken, salt and pepper, and toss to coat.  Mix together honey, sesame seeds, soy sauce, and garlic in a separate bowl.  Heat 1 tbsp. of oil over medium high heat, and cook chicken, turning occasionally, until cooked through.  Remove from heat and set aside.  Add remaining 1 tbsp. of oil and cook peppers until tender, add back in chicken and sauce, and heat through.  Serve over rice, and DIG IN (as I'm about to do in the picture below)! Yields 4 servings, $13.70/$3.43 per serving
