sesame chicken with lemon sauce
If you like lemons or lemon flavored foods you will love this. It is always a big hit. I do not mix everything together at once since I have very picky eaters at home. Instead, I place the chicken, linguine, and sauce all in separate bowls and allow everyone to mix their own amount of elements together.
