Sesame and Herb Chicken Fingers

From Delicious Diabetic Recipes: The Gourmet Cookbook for a Healthy Life

The flaky coating in this dish contains lots of dry herbs and very little salt. You can replace the herbs listed below with your own favorite selection. The Dijon-style mustard helps the herbs adhere to the chicken. Note that some types of this mustard have a grainy texture that is suitable for sauces but not recommended for this recipe which works best with a smooth variety.
