Anyone else love Chinese Take-Out, but it doesn’t always love them back?
I enjoy taking my favorite restaurant recipes and making them at home – without the crazy amount of sodium, soy, or MSG. I also like to be in control of the types of oil I use to cook food for my family, because most oils used in restaurant cooking is very inflammatory.*
Sesame Chicken is a super simple sheet pan dinner that can be ready in 20 minutes on a busy weeknight. I marinade the chicken the night before so it is ready to go when we get home. I served it with broccoli and our kids ate rice as well . . . and of course we all used chopsticks!
