CRISPY CRUNCHY CHICKEN BITES

Steps:

• Mix the garlic, ginger, lemon juice and soy sauce in a large, sturdy, sealable plastic bag.
• Slice the chicken breasts into one-inch slices.
• Place the chicken in the marinade and refrigerate over night.
• Melt the apricot preserves in a small saucepan until smooth.
• In a small serving bowl, mix the mustard and hot water until smooth.
• Blend the apricots and lemon juice into the mustard mixture and garnish, if desired.
• Set aside to cool.
• Mix the ground almonds and sesame seeds.
• Heat about two inches of the oil over medium heat in a large skillet to about 350 degrees.
• Dip the chicken pieces into the almond-sesame mixture and deep fry several at a time until golden brown on each side, about one minute.
