Stir-Fried Sesame Chicken
Basmati Rice

Cooking time:  30 minutes for menu          Cooking schedule: see below for instructions

       A quick stir-fry to end the week and clean out the fridge.  If you have any bits of broccoli or mushrooms, add those as well.  Even if you don't regularly eat peanut butter, it's a good pantry staple, as we use it through-out the year.

Stir-fried Sesame Chicken

Total time: 30 minutes
    Peanut butter adds a creaminess to stir fries, as well as a subtle, almost sesame flavor.  The finish of toasted sesame seeds carries the flavor through.  You can buy toasted sesame seeds or toast them yourself in minutes.
