I know it's been decades, or at least over a year since I last posted anything but I've been creating some deliciousness that I thought I'd share. 

Crunchy Chicken

This is a delicious! Top this yummy chicken with either sweet and sour or almond chicken sauce. 

¾ c. flour
2 eggs
¾ c. panko + ¾ c. flour
2 T crushed almonds (I ground up whole almonds in the food processor)

Cut chicken into bite sized chunks or thin slices. Just make sure they are similar in size so they cook and the same time.
Set up 1 bowl with just flour.  Season it with salt, garlic powder and pepper.
Set up another bowl with 2 beaten eggs.
Set up 3rd bowl with panko, flour and almonds.

Dredge small pieces of chicken in flour, egg then panko and pan fry until golden brown. 


Chinese Almond Chicken Sauce


1 ½ cup chicken stock
1 T butter
4 t soy sauce
2 T corn starch mixed with 2 T water (to avoid lumps)

Bring stock and soy sauce to boil, add butter. Whisk cornstarch and water together and add once sauce is boiling. Allow sauce to thicken on low.

Serve sauce over chicken and sprinkle with toasted almonds. 

Sweet and Sour Sauce

1/3 cup white or rice vinegar (rice vinegar tastes best)
4 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon ketchup
1 teaspoon soy sauce
2 teaspoons cornstarch mixed with 4 teaspoons water

Mix the vinegar, brown sugar, ketchup, and soy sauce together and bring to a boil in a small pot. Mix together the cornstarch and water, add to the other ingredients and stir to thicken.
*I made crunchy pork with sweet and sour sauce tonight instead of chicken because that's what I had and it was just as delicious!*
