Chicken with Onion Cranberry Sauce


Just another simple chicken dish with some oven roasted vegetables. The chicken was seasoned with paprika, black pepper, tumeric(for a nice color), and salt.

The sauce was easily made by frying up some minced garlic, and onions. I then poured 1/2 a cup of cranberry juice, 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar, 1 teaspoon red wine vinegar, 2 teaspoons brown sugar, and a little water. I threw in some chopped parsley, and brought it to a medium simmer. Once the sauce reduced a bit, I added a cornstarch slurry to quicken up the thickening process. Spoon over your yellow chicken, and enjoy!

Easy, fast, and delicious. Until next time, enjoy and rock on!

Is a modern Japanese dish, consisting of fried rice and omelette (usually with assortment of meat and vegetables). It is typically served with demi-glace sauce or ketchup over the omelette.

Here's what I used for 2 medium servings:

Ingredients
1 pound lean Pork diced into cubes
frozen vegetable mix (carrots, peas, corn)
1 large Scallion
3/4 cup Ketchup
1 tbsp Soy Sauce
1 Garlic clove
4 medium Shiitake Mushrooms sliced into thin strips
1 medium size White Onion diced
2 1/2 cups long-grained Rice
3 1/4 cups Water (roughly)
1 tbsp Olive Oil
4 eggs
Salt and Pepper to taste
