Sesame Microwave Chicken Recipe
Ingredients
4 broiler-fryer skinless, boneless breasts halves, cut in strips
4 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tablespoon butter-flavored margarine
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 teaspoon fresh grated ginger
1/2 cup chicken broth, heated
1/4 cup toasted sesame seeds
Cooking Instructions
In microwave-safe measuring cup, mix together soy sauce, lemon juice, olive oil and garlic. Microwave on HIGH until boiling, about 2 minutes. Place chicken strips in bowl and pour hot sauce over all; let sit about 10 minutes. Arrange chicken strips on microwave rack in baking dish, pouring sauce over strips. Microwave on MEDIUM about 2 1/2 minutes; rotate dish and microwave on MEDIUM about 2 1/2 minutes more or until strips are opaque and fork can be inserted with ease. While chicken is cooking, place margarine in nonstick frypan and melt over medium temperature. Add onion and sauté until clear, about 5 minutes. Stir in cornstarch and ginger. When chicken has cooked in microwave, drain off all liquid (about 1/2 cup) and add this to warm broth to make 1 cup. Place chicken in microwave-safe serving dish. Slowly add broth mixture to onion mixture in frypan; bring to a boil over high heat and cook, stirring, about 2 minutes. Pour hot sauce over chicken and microwave on HIGH about 2 minutes. Stir in toasted sesame seeds. Serve over rice or with oriental noodles. Makes 4 servings.
