A recipe for chicken dish tonight?

Question

I'm going to my girlfriends to cook before she gets home. The best I've cooked so far are fish finger sandwiches and beans on toast (WHICH to be fair, I did put chopped basil in, which was nice). So, tonight, I am going all out. I don't want curry, I want to have wild animal sex with her later, something maybe mangoey, with cous cous or something .... please, tips and recipes would be great

Answer 1

Braised Chicken withe Vegetables

What you need:

2 lbs. chicken breasts
2+1/2 cups of chicken broth
1+1/2 oz. of sesame oil
1+1/2 tsp. of soy sauce
3 Tbsps.. of coarse brown sugar
1/2 doz. green onions sliced in 1" piece
1 Tbsp.. ground dry ginger root
3 large carrots, cut julienne or oriental style
10 oz. of mushrooms, white,black or shittake will work, just fresh ones
What you do:

Cut chicken meat into strips narrow and long, no chunks. In a wok or saucepan heat the sesame oil until it will scorch the chicken meat. Drop in the strips of meat and stir fast for 15 seconds or until the meat is lightly scorched. Take the meat out quickly and set aside in a covered dish.
To the remainder of the sesame oil, add the chicken stock, soy sauce, brown sugar, ginger root, and half of the green onions. Bring mixture to a boil, then drop in the chicken. Let it boil for approximately two minutes, then turn down the heat and let simmer until the sauce thickens lightly. More chicken stock or brown sugar may be added to lighten or thicken the sauce.
When the meat is tender and the sauce is reaching its desired thickness take the meat from the sauce and place the carrots, mushrooms and remaining green onions in and heat the vegetables to desired tenderness. Some steaming of the carrots prior to adding them to the sauce will ensure tenderness.
Arrange the chicken meat on a bed of rice and cover with vegetables and sauce. Extra green onions may be chopped finely and sprinkled on top if desired.
Also any or all oriental vegetables work well substituted into or added to this dish. Entrees should be egg rolls or fried dumplings with a dipping sauce sauce of your choosing, yet remember this is a semi-sweet dish already and sweet and sour, duck or plum sauce may ruin the sweetness of the main dish. Other options for the dipping sauce could be black bean, Chinese hot mustard, or soy sauce.
