>>> And now here is their most popular meal of all - World Famous Chicken Crunch

 

--Planet Hollywood Chicken Crunch-- 

2 cups Cap'n Crunch cereal

1 1/2 cups corn flakes

1 egg 1 cup milk

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

2 lbs chicken breasts, cut in 1-oz tenders vegetable oil (for frying)

1. Coarsely grind or crush the two cereals and set aside. Beat the egg with milk and set aside. Stir together the flour, onion and garlic powders and black pepper. Set aside.

2. Dip the chicken: pieces in the seasoned flour. Move around to coat well, then shake off the excess flour. Dip in the egg wash, coating well, then dip in the cereal mixture, coating well.

3. Heat oil in a large heavy skillet to 325. Drop coated chicken tenders carefully in the hot oil and cook until golden brown and fully cooked, 3 to 5 minutes depending on size. Drain and serve immediately with creole mustard sauce.

 

--Planet Hollywood Pot Stickers--

1/4 pound ground turkey

1/2 teaspoon minced fresh ginger

1 teaspoon minced green onion

1 teaspoon minced water chestnuts

1/2 teaspoon soy sauce

1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (no seeds)

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/8 teaspoon garlic powder

1 egg, beaten

Vegetable oil for frying 12 wonton wrappers (3 x 3-inch size)

On the side -- Hoisin sauce.

1. In a small bowl, combine all the ingredients except the egg, wrappers and oil.

2. Add 1 tablespoon of the beaten egg. Save the rest of the egg for later. Preheat oil in a deep fryer or a deep saucepan to 375 degrees. Use enough oil to cover the pot stickers - 1 to 2 inches should be enough. Invert a small bowl or glass with a 3-inch diameter on the center of a wonton wrapper and cut around it to make a circle.

3. Repeat for the remaining wrappers Spoon 1/2 tablespoon of the turkey filling into the center of one wrapper. Brush a little beaten egg around half of the edge of the wrapper and fold the wrapper over the filling. Gather the wrapper as you seal it so that it is crinkled around the edge. Repeat with the remaining ingredients. Deep-fry the pot stickers, six at a time in the hot oil for 3 to 5 minutes or until they are brown.

4. Drain on a rack or paper towels.Serve with hoisin sauce for dipping. If you want some crushed red pepper or cayenne pepper to the sauce. Serves 3 to 4 as an appetizer.

NOTE: If you can't find wonton wrappers, you can also use eggroll wrappers for this recipe. Eggroll wrappers are much bigger, so you will be wasting more of the dough when you trim the wrappers to 3-inch diameter circles. But in a pinch, this is a quick solution. Pot sticker wrappers can also be found in some supermarkets, but I've found the wonton wrappers and eggroll wrappers, when fried, taste more like the restaurant version.

Did I eat too much today? I'm not sure: It's for a 16 year old girl>>>?

Okay, so I'm gonna be 16 this month, so I say 16 and I'm 5'5 weighing 110. I usually don't eat this much, but am wondering if I SHOULD be. the food listed may seem a little considering it fits on such few lines, but imagine yourself eating this food.
Breakfast: -peanut butter sandwhich w/ honey
-glass of fat free milk -half cup of cereal
lunch: bowl of soup (chicken, asparagus, carrots)
snack: -orange
*so for dinner, should I have another orange (love those) more soup, or a tuna sandwhich?
--this will be accompanied with a glass of milk of course

tuna straight from the can. high in protein and also holds omega 3 fatty acids which are great for your body. do not eat it with bread, eat 1-2 cans if you must but it is awesome. I'd forget the milk this late in the evening and switch up to a protein shake mixed with water instead of milk also add some sort of veggetable such as broccoli because its great carbs.
