3/4 pound chicken (of your choice)

1/4 cup soy sauce
1/8 cup chopped onion (or 1/16 cup onion flakes)

Season both sides of chicken with salt and pepper, put into crock pot. In a small bowl, combine honey, soy sauce, onion, ketchup, oil, garlic and pepper flakes. Pour over chicken. Cook on low for 3 hours or on high 1 1/2 hours. Chicken into bite size pieces, then return to pot and toss with sauce. Serve over rice or noodles.


To bake chicken as a 30 minute meal:
Dice chicken and season both sides with salt and pepper, place in 8x8 pan. Pour sauce over chicken and bake at 350 for 20 minutes, stirring after 10 minutes.

2 cups cooked, shredded chicken
2 cups shredded Monterey Jack Cheese
3 Tbsp. butter

1 (4oz) can diced green chillies

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9X13 pan

3. In a sauce pan, melt butter, stir in flour and cook 1 minute. Add broth and whisk until smooth. Heat over medium heat until thick and bubbly.
4. Stir in sour cream and chilies. Don not bring to boil. You don't want curdled sour cream.
5. Pour over enchiladas and top with remaining cheese.
6. Bake 22 min and then under high broil for 3 min to brown the cheese.

Sweet and Sour Sauce

1 1/4 cups pineapple juice
1 Tbs. Cornstarch
1 cup sugar
3/4 cup vinegar
1/4 teaspoon ginger
1 Tbs. Soy sauce
1 Chicken bouillon cube

Mix cornstarch with 1/4 c. pineapple juice. Set aside. Combine remaining ingredients and bring to a boil. Slowly add juice & cornstarch mixture and stir until it comes to a boil again. Cook until thickened.

Spuds & Chops

Spuds:
Combine:
1 can cream soup (chicken, mushroom, celery, broccoli, whatever)
1/2 c. milk
1/2 c. sour cream
1 c. grated cheddar cheese
1 1/2 c. fried onions
Add:
30 oz. bag hash browns
Combine well. Spread into greased 9x13 baking dish.

Chops:
6 Pork Chops
Season with:
1 tsp. garlic powder
1 tsp. season all
1 tsp. Montreal steak seasoning
Dredge in:
1/4 c. flour
Dip in:
2 eggs, beaten
splash of milk
Dredge again in:
2 c. seasoned bread crumbs (I use stovetop I have put through the food processor)
Fry in:
4 Tbs. olive oil
Fry for maybe 5 minutes each side. Just until nicely browned. Place chops on spuds & cover & bake 30-45 mins at 350. Just depends on how thick the chops are, how long you fried them & how thawed the potatoes were. I like to really brown the chops & if they are thin they are pretty much done when I put them on the taters. I usually thaw the potatoes too so it doesn't take too long to cook. A bit of a variation is to uncover and add some reserved cheese & onions for the last 5 minutes of baking. You can also save or make some more of the soup sauce and pour over the top of the chops. Just depends on how saucy you like it.
