6 ounces French's French fried onions
1 cup whole wheat flour
3 egg whites
2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite sized chunks
2 tablespoons sesame oil
3/4 cup sliced green onion, green top parts included
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 1/2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger
6 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce
3/4 cup coffee
6 tablespoons peanut butter
9 tablespoons water
3 tablespoons Splenda granular
sprinkling red pepper flakes (to taste)

Steps:

Put the french fried onions in a food processor until it is very fine crumbs, then add the 1 cup of whole wheat flour and pulse until mixed well.
Put the flour mixture into a large ziplock bag and set aside.
Beat the 3 egg whites together with a fork, in a medium bowl with a little water(about 1 tablespoon).
Dip the chunks of chicken in the egg white mixture and then shake in the closed ziplock bag to coat them in the flour mixture.
In a wok or large skillet, fry the breaded chicken chunks in 1 tablespoons of the sesame oil until cooked through and browned.
Remove chicken to a plate and cover with foil to keep warm.
Wipe out the wok or skillet, and heat the remaining 1 tablespoons sesame oil.
Add the green onions, garlic, and grated fresh ginger, and saute for a few minutes on medium to low heat.
Add the soy sauce, coffee, peanut butter, the 9 tablespoons water, Splenda, and red pepper flakes to the wok or skillet and stir well until the peanut butter melts and sauce is hot.
Add the cooked chicken back to the wok or skillet and toss gently to coat with the sauce.
Cook about 5 minutes more till the chicken is heated through and the sauce thickens slightly.
Serve with hot cooked rice. Enjoy!
