CHINESE LEMON CHICKEN

Ingredients:
2 1/2lbs boneless-skinless chicken breasts (cut into 1” cubes)
Marinade-
2 tablespoons soy sauce
½ teaspoon salt
Batter-
2 large eggs
1/2 cup cornstarch
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 pinch white pepper
1 Tbs. milk
oil (for frying)
Sauce-
1/3 cup sugar
1 cup chicken broth
1 ½ tablespoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons lemon juice
¾ teaspoon salt
3 slices of lemon (peeled)

Step 1: Place cut chicken breast pieces into a bowl and mix with 2 tablespoons of soy sauce and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
Step 2: To make the batter – beat 2 large eggs with 1/4 cup of cornstarch, a pinch of white pepper and baking powder. Coat the chicken with the batter.
Step 3: Heat deep fryer to 350 degrees and deep-fry in batches until chicken is fully cooked. Drain on paper towels and set aside. You can also cook the chicken using a wok if you don’t have a deep fryer.
Step 4: Now, to make the lemon sauce – combine 1/3 cup of sugar, 2 tablespoons cornstarch, 1 cup chicken broth, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, and 3/4 teaspoon salt (if using food coloring you can add it now). Mix until well combined and add 3 slices of lemon to the sauce mixture.

BROILED GARLIC ASPARAGUS

When I make this, I usually have to tell my boys "No more Asparagus until you eat the REST of your dinner." I know, sounds wrong huh!

Garlic Salt

Lay Asparagus evenly on a cookies sheet. Drizzle melted butter over and sprinkle generously with Garlic Salt. (I prefer the Lawreys Garlic Salt to all others) Place top oven rack on top setting and set oven to broil. Place asparagus in oven for3-4 min. Turn Asparagus over and return to oven for additional 3-4 min. Remove and serve. DELICIOUS!!


PUMPKIN SPICE RICE KRISPIE TREATS

Had a crazy idea and went with it, turned out pretty good! At Halloween time, Hershey Kisses came out with flavored Kisses, I bought the Pumpkin Spice one. While making the "normal" Rice Krispie Treats, I also melted the Kisses with the Marshmallows. They came out with a very subtle hint of pumpkin spice, perfect for Thanksgiving time! Experiment and try another flavor for your family!! My husband thought the idea sounded gross, then ate half the tray when they were done!!
