Another yummy, easy and FAST recipe (as long as you think at least 8 hours ahead.)

Sesame Chicken
1/4 cup lemon juice
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 Tbsp. vegetable oil
3 garlic cloves, minced (or 3 tsp. garlic powder)
1/2 tsp. ground ginger
6 boneless skinless chicken breast halves
4 tsp. cornstarch
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup chicken broth
Hot, cooked rice
1/4 cup sesame seeds, toasted
In a large resealable plastic bag (or tupperware) combine the lemon juice, soy sauce, vegetable oil, garlic and ginger. Add chicken, seal bag and turn to coat. Refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight. (Or. . .if you buy the bulk, frozen chicken breasts, you can make the marinade, toss it together in a bag and freeze it for a later date. Then, just throw it in your fridge to thaw AND marinate overnight.)
Remove chicken from marinade and place on a greased broiler pan; set marinade aside. Broil chicken 4 inches from the heat for 12-14 minutes or until juices run clear, turning once.
Meanwhile, strain the marinade. In a saucepan combine the cornstarch, water, broth and marinade until smooth. Bring to a rolling boil. Cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Serve chicken and sauce over rice. Sprinkle with sesame seeds. Serves 6.
