Sweet and Sour Chicken

This recipe is from the Lion House in Salt Lake City, UT. Ok, seriously, this stuff is SO delicious!!!

Ingredients:

(for chicken)-

2 teaspoon garlic salt

1 teaspoon black pepper

1 beaten egg

4 to six tablespoons cornstarch or flour

(for sauce)-

1 1/2 cups sugar

1 cup vinegar

1 cup chicken Broth

7 tablespoons ketchup

2 tablespoon soy sauce

7 to 8 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

 

• Sprinkle chicken with garlic salt & pepper. Let stand for 5-10 minutes. Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
• Dip chicken in beaten egg, then in cornstarch or flour. (cornstarch makes chicken crispier).
• Place in baking dish. 
• Cover with the following sauce: Mix sugar, vinegar, chicken stock, catsup, and soy sauce in medium bowl. Pour over chicken. 
• Bake uncovered for 1 1/2 hours. Turn chicken once or twice.

Bake uncovered at 325 for about 1 1/2 hours, or until sauce is thick and dark in color.

So Easy, and so good! This dish is great for company. Leftovers are wonderful.

I recommend serve this with a baked potato, rolls & a vegetable.

This is also great warmed up the next night, and served on Soft Flour Taco shells, or on a bed of rice.

Popcorn Chicken Four Cheese Alfredo

Super easy, super fast, super delicious!

Ok, this is going to seem ridiculous to be putting on my cooking blog (because its SO ridiculously simple) but it seriously is so so SO delicious!!! And thats why I am adding this recipe to my blog.

So here are the ingredients that I used:

Vermicelli noodles
Frozen popcorn chicken
Classico four cheese sauce

...and thats it. Takes me maybe 20 mins to make.

So, I boil the noodles while the chicken is cooking in the oven and the sauce is simmering.

Yeah, honestly, that's like it. Pour the sauce over the noodles and partake of the greatness of simplicity. I like to eat it with white bread and milk. Makes for a very satisfying meal. 

Fried Chicken

So I was watching "The Help" last night and all I could think was "holy crap I want fried chicken!" This was my first attempt at fried chicken....and it was a success! Of course, I didn't go by the recipe I had. I tweaked it to my liking. Here it is:

Ingredients:
chicken legs / thighs
flour
garlic salt
Italian seasoning
vegetable oil (but I used canola)

Roll the thawed chicken in the flour and season to your liking.
Place the chicken in heated oil and cover. Fry for about ten minutes and then flip it to the other side.
Drain on paper towel.

Bing bang boom. Easy as that! And its delicious!
