Sesame Chicken*
Makes 2 R1 Servings
Ingredients
Chicken:
10oz chicken thighs or breasts cut into small pieces
1/2 tsp baking soda 1/2 tbsp apple cider vinegar 1/2 tbso braggs amino 1 tsp approved oil or spray

Sesame Sauce:
2 tbsp chopped ginger (I used ground ginger or ginger paste)
2 cloves garlic finely chopped (I used minced garlic)
Stevia to taste
3 tbsp liquid aminos
3 tbsp apple cider vinegar
2 tbsp tomato paste
1 cup chicken stock
1/2 tsp chili flakes
2 tbsp avocado oil or approved oil
2 tbsp sesame seeds
2 tbsp chopped scallions

Directions

In a bowl whisk together the aminos, baking soda and apple cider vinegar and then add in the chunks of chicken and stir to ensure that they are all well coated in the liquid.
Leave to rest for a few minutes while you prepare the sauce.

Heat the 2T oil in a pan on medium high heat. Add in the chopped ginger and garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
In a bowl whisk together the stevia, apple cider vinegar, aminos, tomato paste, chili flakes and chicken stock.
Pour the sauce into the pan with the garlic and ginger mixture.
Increase the heat to high and leave the sauce to simmer for 10 minutes until it has reduce by half and thickened.

While the sauce is simmering, finish making the chicken.
Heat 1t oil or spray in a large skillet or wok on medium high heat.
Working in batches add in the chicken (making sure not to overcrowd the pan) and cook for approximately 3 minutes per side until golden in colour.
Once cooked set the chicken naside on a plate and continue cooking the remaining chicken
(I also add peppers and onions and saute or roast them, with broccoli even)
Once the chicken is all cooked, add it to the pan with the sauce, sprinkle with the sesame seeds and toss to ensure the chicken is all well coated. Garnish with chopped scallions before serving.

Can serve over Cauli rice, with roasted veggies, etc

I would check out her OG recipe-though many things aren't allowed on the R1 Restoration Wellness plan, she has some great tips and tricks and educaction on her recipe I found helpful!
You will see I adjusted the size of the chicken to make 2 R1 servings, but I kept the sauce the same to make enough to cover veggies, cauli rice etc.

Product Review

Keith and I made a pact awhile ago to try new things. Every week we attempt to try one new thing we have previously never had, or been scared to try or whatever. And it's been awesome, we've been enjoying so many things that we've been missing out on, and Mairi of course loves anything LOL so she benefits from it as well. A few weeks ago while grocery shopping, I spotted this jar of Tikka Masala. I was like, hmm, that looks good and healthy and nice to have for the times I don't want to cook or whatever. I grabbed it, bought and promptly threw it in the back of my cupboard. Keith busted it out tonight, and made a FABULOUS chicken and quinoa dish (we are obsessed with quinoa, did you know it's like BREASTMILK? and you all know how i feel about that :P It's a complete protein with an essential amino acid balance close to breastmilk!) and wow. Now I want to make it, and so shortly I'll be trying out a recipe for it, but in the meantime, if you come across this...

Sweet Oatmeal Bread

So far this has been a favorite, it was a very nice bread overall. We enjoy adding a lot of flax and wheat germ and other randomness (seeds, nuts, etc) to our breads, and I don't have any specific measurements for those, just add as you like. Sweet Oatmeal Bread (1.5lb loaf) 1/2C old-fashioned rolled oats 3/4-7/8C water 2T molasses 1T sugar 1t salt 2C bread flour 1 1/2t active dry yeast Place all ingredients in bread pan, using the least amount of liquid listed in the recipe. Select LIGHT CRUST setting Press Start Observe the dough as it kneads. After 5 to 10 minutes, if it appears dry and stiff or if your machine sounds as if it's straining to knead it, add more liquid 1 tablespoon at a time until the dough forms a smooth, soft, pliable ball that is slightly tacky to the touch. ***I used delayed timer on this, and the min amount of water, and it turned out fine. I also liked the light crust a lot, it was a good change from the med crusts I have been doing***
