Ingredients

Ingredients:

  • 1 package Kraft Recipe Makers Sweet and Sour Chicken
  • 1 medium yellow onion
  • 1 tablespoon chili garlic sauce optional
  • 1 whole 4 pound cut up chicken (or 8 chicken pieces of your choice)
  • 1/2 cup quinoa

Instructions

  • Combine the sesame ginger simmering sauce, yellow onion and chili garlic sauce in a resealable plastic bag. Place chicken in bag and shake to coat. Let marinate in the fridge 6 - 8 hours or overnight.
  • Preheat your grill to medium heat.
  • Remove chicken from the marinade but reserve the marinade.
  • Place chicken breasts on grill first. Cook, over medium heat, for 5 minutes on each side. Then place the remaining pieces of chicken on the grill. Cook those for 5 minutes on each side. Then cover the grill and continue to cook until the chicken is cooked through, 20 - 25 more minutes.
  • Cook quinoa according to package directions.
  • While the quinoa and chicken are cooking, pour the reserved marinade into a skillet and cook over medium-high heat until the sauce reduces by half and the onions are soft. Turn heat to low and keep warm until ready to use.
  • Once the chicken is cooked through, pour half of the sweet and sour sauce into a bowl. Reserve the remaining sweet and sour sauce for serving.
  • Use a basting brush to brush the chicken with the sweet and sour sauce. Cover and let cook an additional 5 minutes.
  • Transfer to a serving plate. Serve alongside reserved sweet and sour sauce and quinoa topped with the reduced mariande.
