Rosemary Almond Chicken

I had to share this even though the pictures for this creation aren't very appealing. I was unsure of what to cook for dinner last night but knew I was going to use chicken and new that I wanted to try something different and here is what I came up with: Rosemary Almond Chicken!

I took some chicken strips and made them a little thinner by pounding them with a meat cleaver. Then I crushed up some roasted almonds, added some rosemary and pepper and mixed them together. I dipped each piece of chicken into milk (to help the mixture stick) and then into the almond mixture. I then placed the chicken into a glass dish and poured the extra mixture over the top of the chicken. Grated some Parmesan cheese on top of the chicken and baked in the oven at 375 degrees for about 25 - 30 minutes (covered with foil in the beginning and then took the foil off about 20 minutes into baking).

Served it up with a small baked potato and some broccoli and mmm mmm!

The Sarah Version of Wontons

Hello!! I haven't done this in quite some time, I am bored and have a few things that I have made but have not yet shared, so here I am to share and possibly make you hungry! :)

I try not to eat fried foods very often (except for when someone puts french fries in front of me, I lose all self control then!) but love certain things that are normally fried, such as wontons, so I attempted to make my own "healthy" version of them:

Chopped up some carrots, green onion, garlic and grated some ginger - all of this gets mixed in with the meat. I chose to use ground turkey. I also added some soy sauce and pepper to the mixture right before I turned off the stove.

Then I laid out wonton wrappers and brushed them with egg whites.
(they sell the wonton wrappers in a package kind of like sliced American cheese)

I placed spoonfuls of the filling onto the wonton wrappers and placed another wonton wrapper on top of each one.

I actually don't remember what temperature I had the oven at, but it was probably at 400 degrees and I baked the wontons for about ten minutes (or until the became crispy and a little browned).

And voila! You've got yourself a healthier Americanized version of wontons :)
They turned out pretty tasty, and tasted even better with a little bit of spicy chile sauce on them!
