I'm excited to get back in the kitchen after being on hiatus for a few weeks.  This week I decided to back to an old favorite recipe of mine, Golden Chicken and Vegetables.  It is actually one of the first dishes I learned to make after moving to Massachusetts.  Before I moved my staples were grilled cheese, ramen, and pasta.   Since I was far far away from home, and my new roommate was an amazing cook I decide I needed to set up my game.  

So here's the recipe. Enjoy!

1 boneless, skinless chicken breast half (I used 2)

1 tsp Kikkoman Stir-Fry sauce

1 large clove of garlic, slivered

2 carrots, cut into julienne strips

1 stalk celery, cut diagonally into thin slices

1/4 cup Kikkoman Stir-Fry sauce

1 Tbsp water

1 Tbsp sesame seed, toasted (I left this out)

1/2 tsp Oriental sesame oil

Instructions:

Cut chicken into thin narrow strips; coat with 1 tsp stir-fry sauce in small bowl.  Heat 1 Tbsp vegetable oil in hot wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and stir-fry or 2 minutes; remove from pan.  Heat remaining 2 Tbsp of oil in same pan.  Add onion and garlic; stir-fry 2 minutes.  Add carrots and celery; stir-fry 2 minutes longer.  Combine 1/4 cup stir-fry sauce and water; add to pan with chicken and sesame seed. Cook, stirring until chicken and vegetables are coated with sauce and heated through.  remove from heat; stir in sesame oil.
