Chicken and Rice

What a duo! You can make it any way you'd like. Tonight... I was bored and not really in the mood to cook. Thought I'd make brinner but didn't feel like waiting forever for the homefries to cook so... chicken it was. From a bag, too!

Yes, I use the frozen chicken breasts from the freezer isle most times. Only because I always forget to defrost the meat for dinner and around 6 o'clock, I'm going O.M.G.! lol

Tonight, I decided to make it simple and sweet and believe me, it was. Made some steak fries for my son and boyfriend (picky eaters) and cut the frozen chicken breasts into strips. Soaked in water to defrost a bit while the small amount of oil in the skillet heated up. Dredged in flour seasoned with salt and cooked until crispy and golden brown.

In the meantime, I whipped up some Jasmine rice and was thinking this was a little too boring. So I added a couple tablespoons of Oyster Sauce and Hoisin Sauce I had in the fridge to some chopped up pieces of chicken strips in the skillet, poured over my hot rice and well... it was deelish.

Couldn't keep a steady hand taking the pic because I was starving! :)



and now... to watch my housemate prepare Thanksgiving pies, cakes, and a ton of other treats and savory goods. ... all the while with a grrrreat attitude!

The great attitude:



don't worry, only one of those is for me lol
