Toasted Sesame Chicken and Vegetable Stir-Fry

This is a favorite in our house. It's super quick, easy and healthy!

Ingredients
Assorted veggies
1 lb. chicken breast, cut into small pieces
1/2 bottle Kikkoman Toasted Sesame Quick & Easy Marinade
1 tbsp. sesame oil (you can substitute another oil, but sesame oil gives the chicken extra flavor)
1 1/2 cup rice (any type)

Directions
  1. Marinate chicken pieces in marinade (enough to coat them) at least 1/2 hour, but I usually marinate overnight.
  2. Saute marinated chicken in sesame oil until cooked through, which should only take a few minutes. Remove chicken and cover to keep warm.
  3. Heat another tablespoon of oil (any kind) in skillet, add a few tablespoons of water with the vegetables cover and steam to desired tenderness.
  4. Add chicken back to the vegetables and coat with remaining sauce (provided). Remove from heat.
  5. Place mixture over rice and enjoy!

Notes: I marinated the chicken in the sauce before freezing them. Also, the Kikkoman Toasted Sesame Marinade is pretty hard to find. I checked Hannaford, Price Chopper and SuperWalmart, but didn't have any luck until I checked at Shaw's. Also, this sauce is extremely versatile and tastes fantastic on salmon, steak and in turkey burgers!
