Tags suggestions

I hope that everyone adds to this blog! Krista did a great thing in setting it up. We all have so many great recipes from friends and family, so I hope everyone contributes. Maybe a reminder email, Krista??

I thought that as the blog grows, we may want to add tags so we can find specific recipes easier. I posted the Sticky Chicken recipe, and added the tags, "Main Course" and "Chicken". You can make up any tag you want to.

Get cookin' ladies!

Sticky Chinese Chicken

I made this a few weeks ago and the fam loved it! It's also super easy...can't beat that!


Sticky Chinese Chicken

1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
1 cup crushed seasoned croutons
1/4 cup cornstarch
2 TBS soy sauce
scallions

Mix crushed croutons (I use my Magic Bullet and get them into crumbs.) and cornstarch together. Add soy sauce and mix well. Add chicken and coat thoroughly. Cover and put into refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

Heat 1/4 inch of vegetable oil in skillet. Make sure it's nice and hot! Add chicken, turn heat down to medium low and cover. Cook for 15-20 minutes, turning about 4 times during cooking.

Drain on paper towels and garnish with chopped scallions. Serve over rice or chow mein.
