3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cross cut into 1/2-inch strips

1 cup flour

4-5 carrots, peeled, cut lengthwise into 2-inch strips

1 medium sweet onion, chopped

1 red bell pepper, chopped

2 cups broccoli

2 tablespoons sesame oil, divided

1 tablespoon soy sauce

4 tablespoons butter

1-2 tablespoons water

Dash of savory

1 cup flour

Dredge chicken strips in flour.

Melt butter in large skillet, then add 1 tablespoon of the sesame oil and the soy sauce. Brown chicken, about 3 minutes. Remove from pan.

Add water, remaining sesame oil and savory. Sauté vegetables, until onions are soft.

Add chicken, stir together, then cover and simmer for 10 minutes.

For more flavorful rice, cook 1 cup of rice in 2 cups of chicken broth and 1 tablespoon of butter for about 20 minutes, or until liquid has been absorbed and rice is tender.
