Kids in the Kitchen

I spent the evening cooking in the kitchen with my 16 year old son. What did we make? So glad that you asked. Tonight's menu consisted of Sesame Chicken Nuggetts, Cheddar Potato Strips, and Brocoli. I thought I would share the recipe with you below. I must say, we had a good time! Move over McDonald's, there is a new cook in town! Enjoy!

Sesame Chicken Nuggetts

2 tablespoons sesame seed

1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast cut into 1" chunks

1 tablespoon oil

1. In large nonstick skillet over medium heat, toast sesame seed until golden brown, stirring frequently. I usually take the sesame seeds out of the skillet and put them into a bowl. Add your cut-up chicken to the bowl and toss the chicken and sesame seeds.

2. Toss contents of the bowl into the skillet and heat over medium-high heat for 5-6 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink. Yummy!

Here are some health benefits of sesame seeds. Sesame seeds help in digestion and stimulate blood circulation. They are a great source of calcium and protect our body from free radicals. Phytic acid present in these seeds inhibits colon cancer. These are just some of the benefits.
