Why am I doing this?

Hello everyone or no one... ... I have started this blog as a sort of diary. I haven't been all that happy with my physical self as of late and am beginning to remedy these feelings. I thought that this might be a good place to go when I have things to say and no one to really say them to. So enjoy, laugh at, or relate to all that is to follow. Andi

Sesame Chicken and Brocolli

This one didn't pass the Chris test, but lucky for me Kery liked it so I get to make it again if I'd like.  I even have a picture of the final product, altho' it's not very good quality.

This recipe came from Hungry Girl... a few adaptations.

10 oz. boneless chicen breast, raw, cubed
1/8 tsp salt
1/8 tsp pepper
1/8 cups egg substitute, liquid
1/2 cup all purpose flour
1/4 cups fat-free chicken broth
1 Tbsp cornstarch
2 Tbsp and 2 tsp pancake syrup, lite or sugar free
1 Tbsp and 1 tsp rice vinegar
1 Tbsp ketchup
1/2 Tbsp lite or low sodium soy sauce
1 and 1/2 tsp sesame oil, separated
2 packets splenda
1/2 tsp crushed garlic
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tsp sesame seeds
2 Tbsp thinly slice scallions
Brocolli flourets 2 cups
1 large red vadalia onion, peeled and cut into bite size pieces
Optional: crushed red pepper

  • Preheat over 375.  Spray baking sheet and set aside. (I also started some rice in the steamer now)
  • Place chicken in a bowl, salt and pepper... cover with egg substitute.  Toss to coat.
  • Put flour into a dish or bowl and throughly coat chicken with flour...  make sure to allow excess egg to drip off chicken first. Place chicken on baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, combine broth with cornstarch (I shake in a container) and put into a small pan.  Add syrup, vinegar, ketchup, soy sauce, sesame oil, splenda, and garlic.  Heat over medium heat stirring often until thick enough to coat a spoon.
  • Heat wok or large saute pan with 2 garlic cloves and 1 tsp oil.  Add brocolli and onion, stir fry until tender.  Add chicken and cover with sauce.  Sprinkle scallions and sesame seeds and gently mix.
  • Serve over rice
Makes 6 generous servings for 6 points each

Here's my finished product... sorry the picture's not better quality...
