Tonight is Sesame Chicken with Broccoli and Brown Rice Night

This is a great meal for company as it smells good and looks good. We used to order Chinese delivery at least once a week but as I try to cook at home more and no one delivers in this town I found this. It smells just like our favorite sesame chicken takeout but I used sweet rice that adds to the sweet flavor of the dish. I used bulk rice from Whole Foods that still has the outer hull. This had a nice flavor and even the kids liked the chicken.
