Sweet & Sour Chicken

This is a healthified recipe - when I find the original, I will post it. It is a deep-fry version.

1-2 chicken breast, cubed or grilled & sliced - or whatever
1 C brown sugar (okay, so not all THAT healthy)
2 C water
1/2 C ketchup
1/2 C pineapple juice
2 t soy sauce
1/4 C vinegar
3 T cornstarch
(pineapple & peppers can be optionally added)

Cook chicken in whatever manner you prefer.

In small saucepan combine other ingredients and heat until thickened.

Pour sauce over chicken. Eat with sticky rice. :)

Pork Chop Onion Rice Bake

6 pork chops
2 Tbs. shortening
1 cup uncooked rice
1 envelope onion soup mix (like Liptons)
1 (4 oz) can sliced mushrooms
hot water

Brown chops in shortening. Spread rice in bottom of a baking dish (9x13). Reserve 1 Tbs. of seasoning from onion soup mix. Sprinkle remaining seasoning over the rice. Drain mushrooms, reserve liquid. Distribute mushrooms over the rice. Add hot water to reserved mushroom liquid to equal 3 cups. Pour over rice. Arrange pork chops on top of rice mixture. Sprinkle chops with reserved seasoning. Cover tightly with foil and bake at 350 for 45 minutes to one hour. Remove foil and bake 10 minutes longer or until excess liquid evaporates.

This is a recipe I got from my grandma years ago. The pork chops are very tender!
