Personal comments:

I did not want to deep fry my pork so i left the bread off, also i cooked a big meal and did not feel like making my own sweet and sour sauce so i bought it from the store- yes i cheated.

to bread your pork you'll need:
1/2 cup water
2 oz. all-purpose flour
1 oz. corn starch
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 egg1 teaspoon cooking oil

-Strain the dry ingredients of the frying batter and then add in the egg, water, and cooking oil to form a thick batter. Add the pork pieces into the batter and make sure they are well coated. In a deep skillet, add in the cooking oil enough for deep-frying. Once the oil is hot, deep fry the pork pieces until they turn golden brown. Dish out and drain on paper towel.
-Heat up a wok and add in some cooking oil. Add in the bell peppers, onions, garlic, and pineapple pieces. Stir fry until you smell the peppery aroma from the peppers and then add in the sweet and sour sauce. As soon as the sauce thickens, transfer the pork into the wok and stir well with the sauce.


To make the homemade sweet and sour sauce you need:
1 1/2 tablespoons tomato ketchup
1 teaspoon plum sauce

*Sesame- Ginger Chicken by:Hannah

you will need:


2 TBS teryaki sauce (thicker the better)
1 TBS sesame seeds
1 tsp ground ginger
4 boneless skinless chicken breast
1-2 TBS chopped green onion

Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees


Mix together the teri sauce and sesame seed and ginger in a bowl.


Place chicken in a cassarole dish so the juices say in. You may want to spray the pan with pam to make sure nothing stick. Brush a little of the sauce over the chicken. I like to take a spoon and drip some of the sauce on the chicken and using a pastry brush to brush it on. so if you don't use all the sauce people can use the rest to place on their chicken or rice with our worring about raw chicken in it! cook for 5 min and then turn over glazing the other side, cook for 10 min. Turn chicken back over and glaze again and cook for another 5-10 min or until cooked.


Serve with rice and sprinkle the green onion over the chicken.

Caesar Chicken Wraps by: Hannah

you will need:

1/2 cup Caesar salad dressing
1/4 cup Grated Parmesan cheese, divided
1 tsp Lemon juice
1 tsp oregano
1/4 tsp Pepper
1 package (8 oz) cream cheese (softened to room temp- if just out of fridge heat in the microwave for 8-10 sec on high.)

1 Garlic clove, minced
1 diced celery
1 small onion chopped
1 can shredded chicken
1 large red tomato sliced
1 head of romaine lettuce
5 Flour tortillas (10-12 inches- the bigger the easier to wrap- if you don’t have the big ones use tooth picks to keep closed till eating.)

Preparation:

cook onions, garlic, and celery make sure not to get them to soft- then set aside.

In a small mixing bowl, mix the cream cheese, salad dressing, Parmesan cheese, lemon juice, oregano, and pepper. When mixed well take 2 tbs out and set aside for later. With the remaining cream cheese mix add the diced celery, onions, garlic, and canned chicken mix well.

For easier wrapping place wraps in the microwave for 10- 15 sec don’t get them to hot just long enough to soften them. Spread the cream cheese mix you set aside on the tortilla wrap. Then place a few romaine lettuce pieces on the tortilla and place the tomatoes on top. Spread about 1/4 cup cream cheese chicken mixture on top of the tomatoes. Roll up, cut in half, and serve.

*Chicken Parmesan By: Hannah ngeat

You will need:

8 slices whole-wheat bread
1 tablespoon fresh (or dried) oregano
1 teaspoon garlic powder
4 teaspoons paprika
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
2 egg whites
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
4 (6 ounce) skinless boneless chicken breast halves, pounded to 1/2-inch thickness
cooking spray
1 jar good-quality marinara sauce (about 3 1/2 cups)
3/4 cup (3 ounces) shredded mozzarella cheese
2 tablespoons (1/2-ounce) shredded Parmesan
1 box of pasta
3 garlic cloves minced

Directions
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

Place the bread in the bowl of a food processor and process until fine crumbs are formed, about 25 to 30 seconds. Put the crumbs on a baking sheet and bake for 12 minutes, until golden. (You will wind up with about 1 1/3 cups toasted crumbs.)

Start cooking your pasta and marinara sauce- add minced garlic to sauce.

In a medium bowl (bowl #1), toss the crumbs with oregano, garlic powder, paprika, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. In bowl # 2, whisk the egg whites and milk together. In a bowl #3 stir together the flour, and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Dip each piece of chicken, 1 piece at a time, in bowl 1, then bowl 2, last bowl 3.

Place breaded breasts in a buttered glass baking dish and spray on each side with cooking spray, about 5 seconds total per side. Bake breasts until cooked though and crumbs are browned, about 15 minutes.

Heat a pan to a high heat and add olive oil place chicken one at a time and cook for 2 min on each side till really golden and crispy. Place pasta on a plate and pour marinara sauce over pasta and place chicken on top, sprinkle mozzarella and parmesan cheese on chicken soon so it melts.

Personal comments:
I used a sweet marinara it seems to go better with this kind of chicken. I would say that you use fresh oregano it makes the taste so much better. I love love love chicken parmesan I eat it every were I go to see who has the best so far dave and busters as taken the gold but this comes close. This is my favorite dish of all and I would have to give it a 5 out of 5 stars.
