Notes

  1. Nutritional value does not include rice.
  2. Switch up your vegetables, see above for some ideas.
  3. We like to use boneless skinless chicken breasts or chicken tenderloins for this recipe.
  4. Make sure you are using low sodium broth and soy sauce so it is not too salty.
  5. You can use frozen vegetables, see above for how to do that.
  6. Serve this over rice, noodles, quinoa or enjoy it plain.
  7. The sesame seeds and green onions are an optional topping.
  8. This can be frozen, see above on how to do that.
  9. Double the sauce to have a saucier recipe and more to drizzle over the top.
  10. If you like the crunch you can use frozen breaded chicken in this recipe or even bread your own chicken.
