7-20-10 Teriyaki Chicken W/Steamed Veggies Stuff



Tonight’s fare is my Oven-Baked-Chicken-Teriyaki-Steam-Fried Rice With Veggies Special!!!!!


OK, so it’s not really the same as fried chicken (what is???), but pretty darn tasty and almost guilt free. Here we go with what you need:

4 chicken breasts – nice and plump :o)
White rice (brown is good if you have the time)
Fresh squash (these are from Mom’s and Karen’s gardens….more to come soon!!!)
Broccoli head
Red bell pepper (personal taste and color pref)
White onion
Chow mein noodles (La Choy)
Kikkoman Teriyaki Sauce With Sesame Seeds (this stuff is the schizzle!!!!!)
Spring rolls
Scmitt Sone Riesling

Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
Line Pyrex dish with foil and spray with Pam (much easier clean up)
Trim all excess from chicken breasts and cube (slicin’ n dicin’)
Dip in fat-free milk and toss in flour with a couple of pinches of salt. Space evenly in Pyrex dish.
Bake in oven for 25 minutes, scrape loose from foil and then bake for another 20 minutes
Scrape loose from foil and dump in large mixing bowl. Pour in Kikkoman’s Teriyaki Sauce (did I mention this stuff is the schizzle???) and stir to coat the sauce on the chicken….(Hint; eat a couple of pieces to make sure it tastes ok…it will!!!).

During the chicken preparation, you also need to steam the veggies, the rice, and bake the spring rolls. I did the following tonight:

Cut two medium squash into mouthful-size chunks
Chop the broccoli (choppin’ broccoli!!!) into mouthful-size chunks….feed remnants to begging dogs!!!

Cut 1/3 of the red bell pepper into small pieces
Chop ¼ of white onion into small pieces (does this sound redundant???)
Throw all of this into to the steamer for 15 -17 minutes according to personal preference on texture

Add 1 ½ cups of white rice and 3 cups of water to medium sauce pan, bring to boil, cover and steam on low for 20 minutes for white rice, 55 – 60 minutes for brown. Uncover stir/scrape. Cover and let stand off heat.

Bake spring rolls in oven at 450 degrees for 12 – 14 minutes until golden brown.

To serve, start with rice base on plate. Layer on steamed veggies, add Teriyaki chicken, and top with chow mein noodles. Season to taste with Kikkoman’s Reduced Sodium Soy Sauce. Drink Riesling during food preparation, dinner consumption, and after dinner clean up. Make sure to include water bottle on night stand…you will be thirsty later!
Enjoy!!!
