Chicken Fried Rice

Ingredients:

• 1 cup brown rice
• 2 cups water
• 1 pound chicken breast, thinly sliced into bite size pieces
• Salt and pepper
• 2 tablespoons sesame oil, divided
• 1 cup carrots, cut into matchsticks
• 1 cup snow peas, cut in half
• 1/2 cups frozen peas
• 2 eggs
• 2 scallions, thinly sliced
• 1 tablespoon minced ginger
• 1 clove of garlic, minced
• 1/2 teaspoon sugar
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1/4 cup chicken broth

Directions:

1. In a saucepan, combine rice and water.  Bring to a boil.  Cover and reduce heat to low.  Cook for 50 minutes or until all the water is absorbed and rice is tender.  (This is best done the day before you want to make the fried rice.)
2. Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.  Add 1 1/2 teaspoons sesame oil.  Season chicken with salt and pepper.  Saute chicken for three minutes or until cooked through.  Remove from pan and set aside.
3. Add 1 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil to still-hot pan.  Add carrots and snow peas.  Saute over medium heat for about 2 minutes.  Remove from pan and set aside with chicken.  At this time you can put your frozen peas in with the reserved chicken and veggies.  The residual heat will defrost them.
4. Add 1 tablespoon sesame oil to still-hot pan.  Break eggs into pan and scramble with a spatula.  Add scallions, ginger and garlic.  Cook for 30 seconds.  Add the brown rice that you cooked in step 1.  Add the soy sauce and sugar.  Stir well and continue to cook over medium-high heat.  Now add the reserved chicken and veggie mixture.  Stir well and cook until heated through.
5. Pour in the chicken broth.  It will bubble and evaporate rather quickly.  Give the rice one last stir.  Take it off the heat and serve.

Chicken Nuggets Recipe

Chicken nuggets make a great snack or even a great addition to a dinner or lunch. This recipe is very kid friendly… your kids are sure to be pleased with these chicken nuggets. The chicken is first rolled in flour, dipped in egg and then rolled in a bread crumb mixture. For the seasonings, you can tweak it to your taste. If you want a little heat, add some cayenne pepper or chili seasoning into the flour mixture. With this recipe I will give you two options of cooking the chicken nuggets – deep frying or baking in the oven. I deep fried them just because it’s faster but for those of you that don’t have a deep fryer, the oven works just as good if not better. Serve with ketchup or your favorite dipping sauce. Enjoy.

Ingredients:

• 1lb boneless skinless chicken breasts (cut into 1” chunks)
• ¼ cup all purpose flour
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/8 teaspoon pepper
• ¼ cup milk
• 1 egg
• ½ cup dry Italian breadcrumbs
• 1 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
• 1 tablespoon butter (melted, if baking in the oven)
• Oil (if deep frying)

Method:

1. On a plate combine flour, salt, pepper and garlic powder. In a small bowl beat egg and milk. On another plate combine bread crumbs and parmesan cheese.
2. Coat chicken strips first in the flour mixture, then dip in the egg mixture and then roll in the breadcrumb mixture. Repeat until all strips are coated.
   
   
   
3. If deep frying – Heat deep fryer to 360 degrees and deep fry chicken nuggets in batches for 6 minutes or until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.
4. If baking in the oven – Heat oven to 400 degrees. Place chicken strips on a baking sheet and drizzle with melted butter. Bake in the oven for 12-15 minutes or until strips are no longer pink inside.

Fried Chicken

Ingredients: 

• 1 large bowl
• 1 tbsp Salt
• 1/2 tbsp Black pepper
• 3 tbsp of Crystal hot sauce.
• 1-1/2 cups of flour
• 1 tsp paprika
• 1 tsp seasoning blend
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder

Method:

1. Here's my large bowl of chicken legs. I rinsed them under cold water.
   
   
   
2. I seasoned them with 1 tbsp. of regular salt, 1/2 tbsp. of course black pepper, and 3 tbsp. of Crystal hot sauce. I used my hands to make sure that all of the pieces were coated. Then, I refrigerated for an hour to allow the flavors to blend.
   
   
   
3. In a gallon-sized zippered storage bag, I added 1-1/2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 tsp. paprika, 1 tsp. of my seasoning blend, 1/2 tsp. garlic powder, and a pinch of cayenne pepper. Even with the hot sauce and cayenne, this chicken wasn't spicy, just flavorful.
   
   
   
4. I coated the legs two at a time in the flour.
   
   
   
   
5. I don't have a cast iron skillet so I used my largest frying pan. I used canola oil and cooked the chicken on medium heat (number 6 on electric heat), ten minutes on each side for a total of 20 minutes.
   
   
   
6. Even with all the hot grease, I didn't have a lot of splattering and nobody got hurt, mainly me.
   
   
   
7. Drained on paper towels. The crust was crisp and the chicken was cooked all the way to the bone.
   
   
   
8. Fried chicken - done! Another item checked off the kitchen bucket list!
   
   
   
9. Enjoy!!!
