Made the Chinese Simmered Chicken recipe I got off the Foster Farms whole
chicken wrapper back in 1987. Funny thing is I think the same recipe is on
the chicken these days. I make mine with cut up chicken so much better.
Always have to make it with the green onions and toasted sesame seeds or
it's just isn't as good.

Chinese Simmered Chicken
Steamed rice made with chicken broth
and steamed broccoli

With all the holiday things going on, the end of school approaching for the
year and kids sports I just want to eat at home and eat good.
