Add a photoSince it was 96 degrees today and I had already used my oven to bake macaroni and cheese for lunch, I felt guilty firing it up again, so I decided to make a stove-top dinner. My whole family loves this meal. The chicken always comes out so tender and I love the sesame-soy sauce flavor it has. It really is a quick and versatile dish. This would literally take 15 minutes to make but, because my husband likes his vegetables to be completely soft, I let it cook for an additional 5 to 7 minutes at the end. This has a tiny, tiny spicy kick to it. If you are not a fan of spicy food, simply leave the pepper flakes out.
