This may be cheating, but when you are busy-you're busy! I will volunteer to take advantage of any quick shortcuts I can take, and if the Lotus Restaurant makes such tasty and delicious sauces for purchase for home use, I'll take their help also. While you may not have the Lotus Restaurant brand sauces at your grocery store, you might-I don't know how wide their distribution is, but there are a plethora of sauces like this one out there-just pick your favorite!
This isn't rocket science, it's not even really that original, however it is tasty and a good way to get some healthy proteins and vegetables. This was great the next day at work also.
Quick Sesame Ginger Chicken
2-3 chicken breasts, sliced into random sized pieces
Stir Fry Veggies of your choice, good options include peppers, pea pods, carrots
prepared brown or white rice
1 tsp. chopped fresh ginger
Ginger sauce (or other sauce of your liking)
Saute Chicken breasts in a little bit of olive oil until opaque and cooked through at 165 degrees if you use a thermometer. Remove chicken from pan and add veggies and ginger and saute quickly (adding a dash of olive oil if needed,) make sure not to overcook. The vegetables should be bright in color and crisp, they will continue to cook a bit when the chicken is returned to the pan.
Return the chicken to the pan and toss to combine. Add the sauce of your choosing, as mentioned I chose a sweet ginger sauce. If you like a little sauce, use a little. If you like more, use more. This is an easy and flexible dish that can be tailored to your liking.
Serve over prepared rice and garnish with sesame seeds.
