BONNIE'S CHINESE HONEY GINGER CHICKEN
Hungry for Chinese take-out? I decided to try my hand at making my own! Slow simmer the chicken in this delicious easy-to-make sauce. Serve this dish over steamed rice and add a crisp tender veggie stir-fry, and you have a great Chinese take-out meal. Enjoy! Photos are my own, and so is this humble recipe.

Steps:
- I use a small electric skillet unless I am doubling the recipe, then I use a large electric skillet. It is easier to regulate the heat using an electric skillet, but you can use a nonstick skillet if you prefer.
- Place the prepared chicken in the electric skillet.
- In a 2 cup Pyrex glass measuring cup, measure one cup of water, then add the rest of the 6 ingredients to make the sauce. Microwave for 2 1/2 minutes and whisk until smooth.
- Pour mixture over the chicken in the pan. The sauce will not cover the chicken completely.
- Cover the chicken with a lid and simmer over very low heat. My lowest simmer setting is almost on warm. Cook 30 minutes, turning the chicken two or three times with tongs, then remove the lid.
- Cook the chicken without the lid over low heat, stirring frequently as it thickens, basting the chicken with the sauce often. This will take about 20 or 30 minutes to become nice and thick.
- This is how it looks as it starts to thicken...
- As the sauce cooks, it thickens, and it will stick to the chicken. Serve over rice and add a tender crisp veggie stir fry. Enjoy!
- Let's eat!! Enjoy!
WEEKNIGHT FANCY CHICKEN AND RICE
This is a truly glorious one-pot weeknight meal. Feel free to experiment with the garnish, adding dried cranberries, hazelnuts, pine nuts or your own favorites. Ghee adds a nuttiness to the dish, but if you cannot find it, you can make it with unsalted butter using the chef Asha Gomez's method. Simply melt the butter in a pot over low heat. Let it simmer until it foams and sputters. Once the sputtering stops and the milk solids in the pot turn a khaki color, remove it from the heat and skim off the foam with a spoon. Strain remaining butter into a container, leaving behind any solids in the pot. Ghee keeps for up to six months in the refrigerator.

Steps:
- In a medium saucepan with a lid, melt ghee over medium-high heat. Add onions, cardamom, star anise and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring frequently, until onions are soft and a very deep golden brown, about 15 minutes, lowering heat if necessary to keep from burning them. Add garlic and turmeric; cook and stir for 1 to 2 minutes, or until very fragrant. Add chicken and cook for 4 minutes, stirring to coat chicken with the onion mixture.
- Add stock and remaining salt, increase the heat and bring to a boil. Add rice, stir and cover. Reduce heat to low and simmer until the rice has absorbed liquid, about 12 minutes. Remove from heat and let stand, covered, for 12 minutes. Remove lid and fluff rice with a fork.
- Transfer chicken and rice to a bowl, taking care to remove and discard cardamom pods and star anise. Garnish with apricots, almonds and cilantro. Serve at once.

Steps:
- Boil chicken with 1/2 stick butter, salt and pepper --
- After chicken is completely done, drain broth and keep.
- Debone chicken and shred or cut in chunks.
- Butter a 3 quart oven safe casserole, put rice in bottom of dish, lay chicken on top of rice (I always add more salt and pepper at this time) and pour your reserved broth (I even use canned broth if I need more) over rice and chicken -- cut the remaining stick of butter and put on top and put casserole in a 350 to 400 degree oven and cook until rice is done -- if mixture looks dry, pour in more broth and continue to cook. I usually leave in oven for an hour -- Enjoy!
