Whats 4 Dinner 2nite

It is Tuesday and our son has dinner with his grandparents so I make some sort of Asian themed dinner. Aiden detests the notion that I would make Chinese food. He is firm in his opinion that Chinese food should be made at a Chinese restaurant. He allows me to make Mexican and Italian foods because those are heritages that we have in our family. He's weird-he was my first one and I swear I done a lot less screwing up with the girls.

Apricot glazed Chicken Stir Fry
serves 4
1 large boneless skinless chicken breast cut into small pieces
3/4 cup apricot preserves
2tbs sesame oil
2 tbsp soy sauce
2 tbsp minced fresh ginger
1 tbsp minced fresh garlic
salt and pepper to taste
2-3 (depending on your desire for them) cups of any veggies you'd like--I'm using leeks, carrots and celery tonight
I also add cilantro because I can!

In a skillet or wok heat the sesame oil and add aromatics (garlic, leeks etc)
saute them around then add the chicken and season with salt and pepper.
When chicken is cooked up a bit (not done since we don't want to over do it) add the veggies.
*While the chicken and veggies are cooking mix the apricot preserves, soy and ginger in a small bowl.
I usually serve this over rice so around now is when i start the rice (i use minute rice because I am usually in a hurry on weeknights).
When the stir fry is just about done and in my opinion the veggies should still have a bit of crunch, add the apricot mixture and mix it through the veggies and chicken.
Serve it on top of the rice with a sprinkle of cilantro.
