I’ve been on a Martha kick. I think it’s because I made a big list of all the recipes I wanted to make from my EveryDay Food magazines.. now all I want to do is work through the recipes. Some people love Martha, some people hate her.. I just like her style and appreciate that she includes the nutritional info. (Feel free to voice your Martha feelings below- I’ll cut it out if you’re tired of her.)

Nick and I hadn’t had anything Asian in a while, so I picked out this recipe for Lighter Sesame Chicken from the list.

The recipe has multiple components, but was simple to put together. Get the rice going, make the sauce, steam the broccoli, dredge and cook the chicken, and put it all together. It’s not a one-pot meal by any means, but it can be made with pantry staples (as long as you have sesame seeds). I liked the flavor, but I don’t think I’ve had enough sesame chicken in my life to tell you if it tasted authentic or not. You’ll just have to be the judge on this one.
