2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
3 tablespoons water

I love this healthier version of kung pao chicken. It's a great way to enjoy a classic dish without all the guilt. The chicken is cooked in olive oil instead of vegetable oil, and the sauce is made with honey instead of sugar. It's just as delicious
