Seasame Ginger Chicken w/ Teriyaki Rice

This is a recipe I invented the first year I was married..I was in a cooking rut and looking for ways to make chicken interesting. The first 5 times I made it I only used the chicken and the salad dressing, it wasn't until later that I dug around in the spice cabinet and started adding ingredients. The point is it can be as simple or elaborate as you like! Oh and the low fat dressing tastes the exact same as the regular dressing. Just a little FYI :)


Ingredients
1 pound of chicken breasts or tenderloins
1/2 bottle of Newman's Own Sesame Ginger salad dressing
Ginger
Sesame Seeds
Lime Juice

To start, chop the chicken breasts into strips. Put in a nonstick skillet or wok over medium high and cook for ten minutes or so. Flip chicken pieces halfway through.

While that is cooking, prepare your rice according to the directions on the bag or box.

After the chicken is cooked through, turn down to medium. Add liberal amounts of lime juice to the chicken. Pour in dressing, enough to fill the bottom of your pan. Sprinkle ginger and sesame seeds in and let simmer for 10-15 more minutes.

When the rice is done, add teriyaki glaze over each portion as it is plated.

You now have a wonderful Asian dinner with NO takeout costs! It costs around $6 for 4 people!

Happy Cooking!
