Orange/Honey Chicken over rice



I made this dish tonight it is a copulation of different recipes mixed together. Very simple and easy but looks like you worked really hard on it. Kids at first were like yuck I don't want that I made them take a bite they loved it so did John. Needless to say I am glad John's friend wasn't hungry when he came to pick him up we had no leftovers.
Ingredients: 1-2 pounds of boneless skinless chicken cut up.
1-2 tablespoons butter or EVOO.
1 cup orange juice
1/4 cup honey
1 teaspoon of red pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon of nutmeg
2 tablespoons of flour
1 med sweet onion
salt/pepper
paprika

In sauce pan put butter or oil and start pan frying chicken breast season with salt,pepper,red pepper flakes, and paprika. When chicken is done remove from pan, add sliced onion, while they are cooking mix orange juice, honey, nutmeg,and flour stir together. Pour over onions let cook on low few minutes add chicken cook few more minutes until thickens. I made rice and served it over the rice everyone loved it.

Asain Wraps



I made these tasty yummys during Homecoming week, I know crazy right!?!? Very simple and delicious my kids loved them called them Chinese tacos, John loved them. A big hit.
Ingredients:
Good soy sauce (add as much as you like, i used 1/4 cup)
Thai chili sauce about 3 tablespoons
Rice vinegar about 3 tablespoons
1/2 teaspoon of minced ginger
1 tablespoon of sesame oil.
I used ground beef but you could use ground anything(pork,turkey, ect)
scallions
boston lettuce or tortillas

Ground the beef, drain the fat mix wet ingredients together in bowl. Taste make sure you like the flavor before putting it in the beef. Add to beef cook a couple minutes to burn stuff off and infuse flavor add scallions. Wrap meat either in tortillas or lettuce leaves. I loved then wrapped in lettuce John loved wrapped in tortillas.
