“My mother passed down the recipe for this tasty stir-fry, which is so quick and easy to make,” writes E. L. of Port Clinton, Ohio. “Served with wild rice and vegetables, it’s a wholesome meal in minutes.”

1-1/4 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts, cubed
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup sesame seeds
1 large onion, sliced
2 jars (4-1/2 ounces each) sliced mushrooms, drained or 2 cups sliced fresh mushrooms

In a large skillet, cook chicken in oil until no longer pink. Stir in the soy sauce and sesame seeds. Cook and stir over medium heat for 5 minutes. Remove chicken with a slotted spoon; set aside and keep warm. In the same skillet, saute onion and mushrooms until onion is tender. Return chicken to pan; heat through.
