Happy Family Sesame Chicken
Serves 4

3 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon sesame seeds
2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
1 clove garlic, pressed
1/4 cup cornstarch
2 egg whites
4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves, cut into 2 inch pieces

In a small bowl, combine honey, sesame seeds, soy sauce and garlic; set aside. In a larger bowl, mix together the egg whites and cornstarch. Add the chicken and season with a little salt and pepper, coating thoroughly.

TO ASSEMBLE:

In a quart-sized, freezer quality plastic bag, place the honey mixture, scraping it all out of the bowl with a rubber spatula. Now squeeze out as much air as possible and seal the bag.

In a gallon-sized, freezer quality plastic bag, place the chicken. Squeeze out as much as air as possible and seal the bag.

On yet another gallon-sized, freezer quality plastic bag, mark with your Sharpie HAPPY FAMILY SESAME CHICKEN and the date you assembled your meal. Place the chicken bag in first, followed by the honey mixture bag; burp the bag well, seal it up and freeze.

BEFORE YOU COOK:
Defrost your freezer meal the night before in your fridge. If you don’t have a full thaw at cooking time, place the bag in a sink of cold water (do not use hot water!) to speed-thaw your food safely.

COOKING DAY INGREDIENTS AND DIRECTIONS:

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
4 green onions, sliced (use some of the green)
1 tablespoon sesame seeds

In a skillet, heat half of the oil over medium-high heat and cook half of the chicken, turning as it browns. Keep turning till cooked thoroughly. Remove that batch of chicken and start the second batch—add the oil first, let it heat a bit, then add the remaining chicken, cooking it the same way you did the first batch. Now put all of the chicken together in the skillet and squeeze all the honey mixture over the cooked chicken, carefully coating all pieces. Add the chopped green onions, give it another toss and sprinkle sesame seeds on top; serve—much better than take-out!

SERVING SUGGESTION: Serve with brown rice (use the quick-cooking variety to get dinner quickly; add some steamed snow peas and julienne carrots.
