I make dinner for the family every night. I cook what my husband and the boys like to eat and then just mod it for myself.
One of their favorites is Sesame Chicken. really really easy
This is the basic recipe I use, I usually double it.
1/4 c. lemon juice
1/4 c. soy sauce
1 tbls. sesame oil
3 garlic cloves
6 boneless skinless chicken breasts
4 tsp. cornstarch
1/2 c. water
1/4 c. chicken broth
1/4 c. sesame seeds (optional)
In a large plastic bag, combine lemon juice, soy sauce, oil, and garlic. Add chicken and turn to coat. Let marinate for at least an hour, best if left in the refrigerator overnight.
Remove chicken from marinade and place on broiler pan; empty marinade into a small saucepan.
Broil chicken anywhere from 10 to 14 minutes, turning once, until juices run clear.
Add cornstarch, water, and broth to marinade in saucepan. Bring to a boil and cook for 2 minutes or until thickened.
I serve the chicken on rice with some sauce overtop and sprinkled with sesame seeds. I usually serve either steamed broccoli or green beans with this. I cook up some shredded cabbage to replace the rice for me and the boys have started eating that too.
Hope it helps, it’s really fast and goes over well with kids.[/quote]
That sounds really good and chicken is definitely one of the foods everyone likes. I will be giving it a try.
