Annie's Stir-fry

This was SO good!

Place 10 chicken thighs in 9x13 glass dish. (Or about six small-med chicken breasts) I used a cookie sheet

Combine sauce ingredients in quart saucepan and simmer until slightly thickened: (just a few minutes)
1 1/2 T cornstarch
1 1/2 T cold water
3/4 c sugar
3/4 c soy sauce
1/4 c + 2 Tbs apple cider vinegar
1 1/2 garlic clove, finely minced
3/4 t ginger
1/4 t + 1/8 t pepper

Pour sauce over chicken thighs and cover pan with foil. 

Bake at 425 degrees for a total of 1 hour.  

I used a frozen stir-fry mix. 
Stir-Fry veggies to serve with:  1 Onion, 4 carrots, 1 pepper, 2 large bunches broccoli, 1 zucchini, 1 yellow squash, asparagus, etc.

After chicken is done.  Serve over rice and veggies

Brittany Mitchell's Cornbread

...or should I say Corn CAKE! Let's be real, ANYTHING Brittany makes is gold... do yourself a favor and make this, you will not be disappointed.


Bread:
2/3 C Soft Butter
3/4 C Sugar
1/2 C packed Brown Sugar
3 Eggs
1 2/3 C Milk
2 1/3 C Flour
1 C Cornmeal
4 1/2 tsp Baking Powder
1 tsp Salt

Topping:
1/2 C Butter
1/4 C Honey

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Mix 'bread' ingredients together and bake in a 9x13 greased pan.
Bake for 20-25 minutes.
Poke with a fork and pour topping mixture over hot bread.

SO GOOD! I am seriously thinking about this for my birthday cake next year!

Notes:
*When I made the topping I didn't have enough to go over the whole cake, but when Kaleen made it, she had way too much. It could be due to our type honey, but just fyi
** I melted my topping together and it flowed better
