Crispy Chicken Breasts

Make this versatile dish with leftover rice and any vegetable in your crisper. (Brown is better, but I've used white rice from last night's takeout.)

Traditional country style. My father in law is the king of country fried steaks and these are his favorite! These are lower in calories than the original, but still an indulgence. Enjoy!!

Less fatting than original But the butter adds to the flavor.
A friend likes it when I substitue chiles for fresh peas.
(Original called for whole milk or heavy cream and more butter.)

Nakji Bokum is a very spicy octopus dish enjoyed by many Koreans. Different variation of this dish do exist as the octopus can be substituted with squid for less chewy texture and taste. Some may find this dish too spicy even diluted with rice that accompanies this dish.

Sweet n' sour deep fried tofu, w/ chik'n & veggies

A great alternative to the store bought onions. These are more flavorful and free of chemical perservatives.

My quick fried rice recipe

A new spin on fried chicken!

Just like delivery, only better!

These versatile GF/CF chicken nuggets are a hit with the whole family. Eat them plain, with dips or toppings, or use them in casseroles or other recipes.

Indian Style fried chicken drumsticks, I have also done this with chicken wings, just cook for a shorter time. Garam Masala not in nutritional info - doesn't add any real calories.

These come out very moist. I found this on the back of a grocery store ad and made a few changes. The original called for 2 tsp of Thyme, 1/4 c of Parmesan, & 2 c of cornflakes. I measured after I dipped and found I had a good 1/2 c of mixture left so I cut the recipe back accordingly.

* For those of you that are salt restricted- You might want to leave out the salt as there's probably enough in the Parmesan cheese. I just sprinkled a little salt over the bowl.

I also extended the cooking time. The original time was 20 mins.

These are sooo tasty!

Simple recipe to save some calories and fulfill a craving for fried food stuffs.

This is a tasty low-fat, low-sodium alternative to the traditional fried chicken. This recipe has 10 fat grams and 172.6 mg of sodium. Now compare that to the fat and sodium that is in a regular fried chicken thigh!!!

Listed below is the approximate nutrition values for one traditional fried chicken thigh. Note: The calories, fat and sodium are higher if the chicken is extra crispy (those are the numbers at the higher end of the range):
Cal = 280-360
Fat = 20-27 grams
Sodium = 730-830 mg.

Great alternative to fried rice that tastes just like the real thing! My husband didn't even know there was egg substitute in it :)
