Almond Chicken (ABC Chicken)

This dish comes with a couple names. Either Almond Chicken or Almond Boneless Chicken or ABC Chicken. It is commonly found in Michigan Chinese restaurants and features a thin chicken breast battered, fried, and served on a bed of lettuce with a brown colored gravy accompanying it.

Breaded Chicken Patties

We always used to buy those long packages of breaded chicken patties that we could heat up and make a sandwich out of. They were handy for quick meals and admittedly tasty. But then I read the ingredients, and like many foods we once bought premade, we stopped buying them and I went on the […]

Sticky Honey-Ginger-Lemon Chicken

(my camera just doesn’t do food justice, but I tried!)

“Sticky chicken” is what we call this recipe. It may look a little complicated with all the ingredients, but it’s not, and the end results are worth it. If the process of making the breading and the sauce seem a […]

Penne Rustica

This dish is a little time consuming – but easy. I like to make this as a special treat because it has that ‘restaurant quality’ taste to it. Play with the ingredients according to your tastes. You can adjust the seasonings in the sauce to be stronger if you wish – taste and see once […]
