On busy weeknights it’s so tempting to hit the drive thru or order take-out. Are there nights when getting dinner onto the table fast is your main concern? I’ve certainly been there a time or two. A lot, really. I am fast becoming a fan of McCormick Skillet Sauces. They make getting dinner onto the table a breeze. Many thanks to McCormick for sponsoring today’s recipe which is better than take-out Sesame Chicken Stir-Fry.
You’re going to love this recipe! There are only a few ingredients and the entire meal comes together in under 20 minutes.

February 11, 2015 at 6:47 PMI don’t eat meat so maybe lightly saute, or fry gently, firm tofu instead. Looks good and having Jasmine rice with this would be fabulous.
