So it is Friday and I have places to go so tonight is a quick marinade and meal with no hassle but loads of taste with an Asian flair. A while ago I marinated shrimp in Kraft’s Light Asian Toasted Sesame Dressing, and tonight I am marinating a chicken breast in it. First I removed all fat and gristle from the chicken and then I poked it all over with a fork. I then poured approximately 1/4C of the dressing on the chicken and let it sit for 45 minutes - there is no reason you couldn't do this in the morning before leaving for work. When I was ready to cook it I placed the chicken breast on a cookie rack on a cookie sheet and put it in the oven for 30 minutes at 400° flipping once. It is wonderful! It is exploding with a toasted sesame flavor, deliciously moist and reminding me that I need to try to make lo mien sometime soon.While this is good on it's own it would also be delicious in a stir fry which I will have to try soon, with the vegetables sauteed in a toasted sesame oil with some nice toasted sesame seeds on top.

Jillian, that sounds great! Check out the Asian Sesame Noodles on the WW site - I tend to make them and then throw a bag of sauced stir-fry vegetables in with the noodles and the sauce, and maybe some cubed chicken. This would be great too!!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea Sarah I will check that recipe out and give it or a variation on it a try!
ReplyDeleteI never thought of that and I use that salad dressing on my salad everyday. Thanks for the great ideas!
ReplyDeleteI tried it on skinless, boneless chicken breast tonight with flavored rice and mixed vegetables. Everyone really enjoyed it!!
