![]() ![]() These are great this is what you’re looking for when you make pan sauces, but in this case, if we continue with the recipe and cook the veggies, those brown bits will turn to black bits and that’s no good. You’ll also notice when the chicken finishes cooking, you’ve got lots of brown bits stuck to the bottom of the pan. In a nonstick pan I never have that problem because there’s naturally a little extra moisture. If you use a stainless steel pan, you may have to add a little extra oil to make sure the garlic and ginger don’t burn. I’m using a stainless steel pan here because it’s easier to photograph than my black nonstick ones. I’m going to give you a little hint about pans too. You could also use pork tenderloin, or chicken thighs. Now, start by sauteing some boneless, skinless chicken breast with some fresh garlic and ginger in a large skillet or wok. Are you visualizing? Take your time…okay good. So pretend you’re looking at that right now. you’ll just combine a little cornstarch and cold water and stir those together and then add some other yummy stuff like soy sauce, pineapple juice, ketchup, brown sugar, etc. Somehow I forgot to take photos of the sauce preparation, but it’s super easy. I love it because it’s a basic sweet and sour sauce (for which I almost always have the ingredients for) and you can really throw any vegetables in there that you happen to have around and you’ve got a better-than-takeout meal in under 30 minutes. It’s one of my go-to meals when I need something warm and filling without a lot of fuss. It was seriously that close! But no fear the dessert is coming next week □ This is actually a little variation from one of the recipes I contributed to the Good Bite Weeknight Meals: Delicious Made Easy. I’ll be honest, I stopped counting half way through (I didn’t know that many people would pipe in!) and when I tallied up the votes dinner won by ONE vote over dessert. I know we keep promising an actual meal around here and then keep getting sidetracked with fun Halloween stuff so I’m finally going to give you something dinner-worthy! (Not that doughnuts or cookies aren’t dinner-worthy, because they totally are.) I actually do have another dessert to share and I let all of you Facebook fans vote what would go up today. ![]()
