Hoisin Chicken Stir Fry

Note: Oops! No picture again. This was great because I just used the vegetables I had on hand - broccoli, peppers, and pea pods, but you use anything like. Also, I used pre-cooked chicken so that sped up the cooking time significantly. It had an adequate amount of sauce for Mike. This was about 4 servings.

Ingredients
3-4 cups vegetables, cooked
1-2 cups pre-cooked chicken, cubed
1 to 2 garlic cloves, minced
1 c. water
1 tbsp. cornstarch
3 tsp. cider vinegar
3 tsp. hoisin sauce
4 tsp. soy sauce
2 tsp. instant chicken bouillon granules

Directions
1) Heat a large skillet or wok over medium heat. Add garlic, chicken, and vegetables with a small amount of oil. Saute until warm.
2) Add water, cornstarch, cider vinegar, hoisin sauce, soy sauce, and chicken bouillon to a small bowl. Mix well.
3) Slowly pour the liquid mixture over the meat and vegetables. Cook to desired consistency.
4) Serve over white rice

Chicken Pot Pie

Image
Note: This was so super easy, and we loved it! Next time I make it, I will adjust the ratio of veggies/potatoes/meat and follow this new recipe. Ingredients 2 unbaked pie crusts 2 cans of condensed cream-of-whatever soup 1 cup of cubed potatoes 1 1/2 cups frozen veggies 1/2 cup chopped onions 2 cups of cooked chicken cut into small cubes Directions Preheat oven to 425 degrees and bring a medium pot of water to boil. Roll out 1 pie crust and place into pie plate. Bake for 10 minutes in the pre-heating oven. Set aside. Meanwhile, peel and cube potatoes (1/2 inch size) and boil until soft. In a bowl, combine chicken, frozen vegetables, onions, potatoes and soup. Mix well. Pour mixture into pie plate, top with remaining pie crust, making several small slits in the top to allow steam to escape. Bake in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes, or until crust is golden brown. Cool for 10 minutes before serving. source: http://www.5dollardinners.com/2009/12/chicken-pot-pie.html

Crunchy Granola Bars

Ingredients 2 cups oats ("old fashioned" is best, but anything you have around will work) 3/4 cup wheat germ 3/4 cup sunflower seeds 1 cup nuts, in small pieces 2/3 cup brown sugar 1/2 cup honey 4 Tbsp butter 2 tsp vanilla extract 1/2 tsp Kosher salt 1 cup dried fruit Directions 1) Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. 2) Mix oats, wheat germ, sunflower seeds, and nuts on a cookie sheet (one with sides). Toast them in the oven for 15 minutes, stirring every 3 minutes. 3) Line a 13x11 casserole dish with Reynolds Release foil. This stuff is amazing. You will be so happy. 4) Bring brown sugar, honey, butter, vanilla, and salt to a simmer in a saucepan large enough to hold t
