Recipe of the Week - Quick and Easy Sweet and Spicy Chicken

www.triedandtasty.com.   I told you guys to bookmark it and if you haven't, you really should.  We have loved nearly every recipe we have tried from there and this one was a winner as well.  This really was quick and easy, a great choice after a long day at work.  


I also followed her advice and served this was Basmati rice.  I'd gotten so used to throwing a bag in the microwave, I forgot how tasty good sticky rice really is.  

I'm still undecided on the Braggs Liquid Aminos.  I agree that it does taste just like Soy Sauce but I also had a bottle of the La Choy Lite Soy Sauce and when you compare the two, I'm not sure its really that much better.  The Aminos has a much lower sodium content but higher total Carbohydrates   And the serving size is smaller - 1/2 tsp of Braggs compared to 1 tbsp of La Choy.  So I guess it really comes down to personal preference and whether you are more interested in sodium, calories, or carbs.  Check out the two nutritional labels below (Braggs is on the left) and decide for yourself.

Braggs Amino Liquid is available from Amazon (isn't everything?) and it does not need to be refrigerated, which I kind of liked given our over-packed fridge doors.  

The recipe for the Quick and Easy Sweet and Spicy Chicken can be found over at Tried and Tasty
