Because you asked...
(From Quick Fix Meals by Robin Miller)
1 cup rice, cooked
1 tsp peanut oil
1 tbsp peeled and minced ginger
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 1/4 lbs chicken, in bitesized pieces
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1 1/2 cups chicken broth
1/4 cup hoisin sauce
1 tbsp lime juice
1 tsp finely grated lime zest
1 cup cashew pieces
Heat oil over medium-high heat. Add ginger and garlic and cook, stirring, one minute.
Add chicken and cook until browned on all sides, about 5 minutes.
Add salt and pepper and stir.
Add broth, hoisin, and lime, stir and bring to simmer.
Partially cover the man and simmer until chicken is cooked through and sauce slightly thickens, about 8-10 minutes.
*You can cool this and refrigerate up to three days.
Serve chicken over rice and top with cashews.
My husband loved this the way it was, but next time I will use less broth and hoisin :)
*edited to add- you can partially cover the man if you want, but I don't think it will help in the cooking of dinner. You'd probably better partially cover the pan instead.

I was flipping through channels while nursing this week, and discovered Quick Fix Meals on food Network. Have you seen this? She makes one meal, and then uses some of the ingredients in other meals throughout the week. I am definitely going to try some of her recipes after my next big grocery trip!

Menu Plan Monday
I saw this idea on grace4today's website, but it originally started with orgjunkie. She is hosting "Menu Plan Monday" and since I usually have a few dishes in mind for the week, but don't really plan them, I thought I'd try it out! Here is my menu for the week...
Mon- Chicken Tetrazzini and Salad
Tues- Beef and Broccoli with Teriyaki Bown Rice
Wed- Hopefully leftovers if dh doesn't eat them all for lunch! I also have to make a dessert for our small group that night
Thurs- some kind of crockpot chicken and potatoes. I need to find a recipe
Fri- Baked Chicken Parmesan with Salad and Strawberries (from the menus4moms website)
Sat- Beef and Peppers with rice
If you've never seen it before, menus4moms posts a free weekly menu with recipes. Check them out!
Thanks to orgjunkie for starting this!!!
