Last night I had to make something quick and easy for dinner so I put some stuff together and made this delicious sesame soy chicken! I had dinner ready in under 30 minutes and it was amazing! I made rice in the rice cooker and added about a tbsp of coconut oil to give it that smooth, somewhat buttery flavor. I also made broccoli in the rice cooker’s steamer attachment. Meanwhile, I started making this amazing chicken. Once I placed it in the hot pan, I had a few minutes to set the table, I came back to mix it around a little, and voila! Chicken, rice and broccoli ready for dinner!
