Chicken Chow Mein

Chicken Chow Mein


This is one of our favorites. I honestly like it better than take out!


INGREDIENTS:

  • 3 large chicken breasts
  • 3 heads of broccoli
  • 2 cups of shredded carrots
  • 2 cups shredded green cabbage
  • 1 large onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 Bok Choy cabbage, thinly sliced
  • 3 cloves of  garlic, minced
  • 2 Tbsp butter
  • olive oil
  • sesame oil
  • 6 cups of chicken stock
  • 4 Tbsp soy sauce
  • 6 Tbsp corn starch
  • 1 bag of dry chow mein noodles

DIRECTIONS

Thinly slice up chicken. I like to cut the breast in half and thinly slice it that way.



In a large pot or wok, circle the pan with sesame and olive oil. Heat up on medium high heat.




Add the chicken, salt and pepper a little and saute until completely cooked through.  While the chicken is cooking you can start to cut up the vegetables. I use shredded carrots, but you can chop your own. Whatever is easiest. If you have never used Bok Choy, don't worry, it is easy to work with. Cut the root end off, and wash in between the stocks, because they can hold onto dirt. Thin slice the onion, and make sure the broccoli pieces aren't too big or they wont cook evenly.






Once chicken is cooked through, remove it from the pan and set aside in a different bowl.





Spin the pan again with both types of oil, plus add the butter.  Add the chopped veggies into the hot pan, and start to saute for 3 or so minutes, stirring around.  Add garlic and soy sauce and stir. Add 5 cups of chicken stock to the veggies and bring to a boil. Add chicken into the cooking vegetables and boil until all of the veggies are tender.






In small bowl, add the remaining cup of chicken stock and the 6 Tbsp of cornstarch and whisk together. Once the veggies are tender and the liquid is boiling, slowly add the cornstarch mixture and stir until thick and bubbly. If you want it any thicker, just add a little more cornstarch to a few Tbsps cold water and stir into the pan. 




Serve over a bed of chow mein noodles and soy sauce to taste. Enjoy!!! :)

OUR BETTER THAN FAST FOOD ONION RINGS

Onion Rings 4 Large White Onions 6 Cups Unbleached Flour 3 Tablespoons Salt 3 teaspoons of Garlic Powder 1 1/2 teaspoons of Black Pepper 2 1/2 teaspoons of Paprika 4 Large Eggs 1/2 Cup Milk Canola or Vegetable Oil for frying These are the BEST homemade onion rings. Not much batter, light, crispy and delicious. It seems like it would be overwhelming, but actually it is well worth the time. Start out with 4 large white onions. We have found these work the best.  They have a really great flavor. Next, slice them up. If you do them a little on the thin side, they cook up really nicely and are a perfect consistency. When you slice them, only keep the bigger rings. The middle pieces are not as good for the rings. I usually only keep the first 4 to 5 outer rings and toss the rest. Next, add the seasonings to the flour. I have 3 bowls that I set up for flour and wet ingredients. The first bowl will have ...

Roll out the dough until it is around a half inch thick and fold the dough over itself in half and roll out again. Repeat until you have folded the dough back onto itself at least 6 times.  Even if it seems thin, it will rise. After it has been rolled out multiple times, use a biscuit cutter or a cup about the size you want your biscuits to be. (I actually use a kids IKEA ...
