So the recipes calls for these lime marinated chicken breasts. I stuck the marinade in a bag with the chicken and froze them until we needed to use them. No where in this recipe does it say that the breasts are to be ALREADY cooked. It didn’t come out pretty, but it was mighty tasty!!
If you haven’t cooked the chicken breasts previously, then that’s the first thing I would do. I would also under cook the broccoli. It was a little too tender when we put it all together. Also, make sure you have a LARGE pan for all this to fit in. I’d never cooked with oyster sauce before, but it was interesting.
I always double the amount of ginger, because we LOVE ginger. It was VERY filling and I’m pretty sure we’ll make this again.

Actually, they’re two separate recipes. The broccoli rice one called for the chicken breasts, which was a hotlink to the recipe FOR the chicken breasts. I still have those in the fridge…I should cook them. *snort*
I have to LOL about the lime marinated chicken breasts, because we ate them without the stir-fried rice and brocoli. Didn’t realize it was supposed to go with something.
