Tonight was just a quick easy dinner. I marinated chicken in sesame ginger marinade for about two hours. I baked it in the oven using a disposable aluminum tin. As sides I made steamed broccoli and brown rice. (Perfect for a tummy ache day) Sesame ginger is definitely one of my favorite marinades! My Aunt Laurie uses when she makes skirt steak which I have also made at school. Over the past few months I've learned that using different marinades is one of the easiest ways to change up your meals and keep things form getting boring. They are also very convenient when you don't really feel like cooking...marinate the meat for a few hours then pop it the oven and voila! A lively meal.
As a side note: Sometimes it is quicker and easier to cook a small serving size just for yourself, but when you don't have a lot of spare time for dinner cooking larger meals that make leftovers is the way to go. For example, tonight I could have made four to five chicken cutlets with extra rice and had enough meals for dinner this week.
