Week 2



Arugula
Lettuce
Radishes
Broccoli
Bok Choi
Escarole
Kale
Kohlrabi









What I'm making this week:

Sesame chicken with peanut noodles

Ingredients

1 cup dried bread crumbs
1/4 cup sesame seeds
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon salt
Dash of pepper
4 tablespoons butter, melted
6 boneless skinless chicken breast halves

Method

Preheat oven to 400°F. In a wide, shallow dish stir together bread crumbs, sesame seeds, paprika, salt and pepper. Put butter into a second wide, shallow dish. Dip chicken in butter, then roll in bread crumb mixture and transfer to a lightly oiled baking sheet, arranging pieces so they don't touch. Use two baking sheets, if needed. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the juices in the meat run clear when checked with a knife. Transfer chicken to plates and serve.
