I had still had some chicken thighs to use up so decided to use the Sweet and Sour sauce that's been patiently waiting use in the cupboard. I browned up the chicken first and took a half a cup of cooked chicken out for Brinkley. Then I added the sauce and pineapple a let it simmer. It turned out really good for a first time attempt!! I had it with steamed rice.
Delicious!
I also tried my hand at roasting chick peas or garbanzo beans. I'd seen dozens of recipes online and was intrigued. It's a semi healthy snack - they are beans after all! Good protein, good fiber, good snack, right? I decided to go on the sweeter side rather than salty side.
Drain, rinse, and dry the chick peas.
Cover with whatever spice mixture you can come up with. I used canola oil, sugar, cinnamon, and pumpkin spice.
Make sure all peas are coated. Then put them on a cookie sheet for roasting. 375 degrees for about 40 minutes - taste test to make sure they are roasted through.
When they come out of the oven, cover them in honey and sprinkle lightly with sugar!!
I'm sold. Very, VERY scrumptious!! I think they would be a great addition to a trail mix concoction for hiking. Mmmm. I hope they hold their crunch over night!
