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.

This looks so amazing and I love this kind of food. And it is really healthy.
This looks really great except for the water chestnuts.
This looks simple and delicous! Plus a new way to get my picky son to maybe try something new!
Oh yum, we’ve been looking for alternatives to Chinese take out. We’ve been trying to cook more meals at home.
This looks amazing!, I love all the vegetables you added to this and I have been eating more rice and less potatoes, so this is a great recipe for me, thanks 🙂
I 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.
I haven’t tried the McCormick spices but we do enjoy a good stir fry at home. I used to have a recipe with white wine but it has long since been lost.
Oh that looks really good! I am always looking for easier meals to cook at home! We would love that one!
