Cookin'

Tonight I got home around 7 and was alone for dinner. I stopped at Dave's Superawesome Market for some food and ended up with a bunch of shit to make some sort of asian inspired chicken and broccoli but also hedged my bets with Teddy's Old Fashioned Peanut Butter just incase I didn't feel like peeling ginger and frying chicken when I got home.

But I did.

Cheesy Chinesey Broccoli and Chicken
1 bunch scallions
2 cups (roughly) broccoli
2 lean chicken breasts
1 table spoon grated ginger
1 table spoon garlic
2 table spoons brown sugar
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/2 cup white wine
flour
canola oil

1. Prep veg. Rough chop broccoli/scallions. Peel ginger and garlic and grate. Chuck ingredients into pan with soy sauce and white wine and let reduce on low heat. Add brown sugar.

2. Heat up oil in dutch oven or large pan while chopping up chicken into 1 inch pieces. Dredge in seasoned (I used Lowery's) flour and toss (gently) in hot oil. Let chicken brown, remove from oil and place directly into warm sauce, mix. Add broccoli and cover to steam for 1 minute. Remove from heat, stir and serve.

I ate this straight up but I would imagine it would be killer on some white sticky rice. This is a nice quick meal. It took me all of 10 minutes to make from start to finish.
