Steamed or fried rice........or better yet, Sesame Noodles....YUM.....

Christopher

a nice toasted sesame white rice would be good with sauteed snow peas

Brown rice

A nice spiced rice works great. I find that rosemary rice works great with it.

asparagus with a squirt of lemon juice

How about wild rice? and a salad or green vegetable

Usually some lo mein or fried rice. White rice can be a bit bland, in my personal opinion. Or you can do egg noodles with a little orange sauce mixed with (not too much or you will have too much sauce with the noodles and chicken, thus overpowering the flavor/taste of the noodles and chicken.
