Sesame Chicken with Spicy Peanut Sauce

INGREDIENTS:
6 TBL warm water
1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
1/4 cup hoisin sauce
1 garlic clove, minced
1 tsp red pepper flakes
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
3/4 cup sesame seeds
1 1/2 lbs chicken tenderloins
salt and pepper
6 TBL vegetable oil

DIRECTIONS:
Whisk water, peanut butter, hoisin, garlic, pepper flakes, and cilantro in bowl for dipping sauce.
Season chicken with salt and pepper and roll in sesame seeds, pressing to adhere.
Heat oil in large nonstick skillet over medium heat until just smoking, Cook chicken, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a large plate lined with paper towels.

I served this with brown rice and stir fry. The chicken was tasty, even without the sauce!
