Happy Family Sesame Chicken

This took me 40 minutes from start to clean up to make two, one for dinner and one for the freezer. Just double the recipe for Now and Later dinners.

Serves 4

3 Tbl honey
1 Tbl sesame seeds
2 Tbl soy sauce
1 clove pressed garlic
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 2 inch pieces

REMINDER: Start your rice!

In a small bowl, combine honey, sesame seeds, soy sauce and garlic; set aside.

TO ASSEMBLE FREEZER KIT

In a sandwich bag place the honey mixture, scraping it all out of the bowl with a rubber spatula. Now squeeze out as much air as possible and seal the bag.

In a gallon-sized bag, place the chicken. Squeeze out as much air as possible and seal the bag.

In a gallon-sized freezer bag, mark with sharpie HAPPY FAMILY SESAME CHICKEN and the date. Place the chicken bag in first then the honey bag. Squeeze out air, seal and freeze.

BEFORE YOU COOK

Defrost your freezer meal the night before in your fridge. If it isn't fully thawed at cooking time put it in a sink of cold water (NOT HOT!) for 15 minutes.

COOKING DAY INGREDIENTS AND DIRECTIONS

2 Tbl oil
4 green onions, sliced
1 Tbl sesame seeds

In a skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat and cook the chicken, turning as it browns. Squeeze all the honey mixture over the cooked chicken, coating all the pieces. Add chopped green onions, give another toll and sprinkle sesame seeds on top.

SERVING SUGGESTION
Serve with rice, steamed snow peas, and julienne carrots.
