Pour over chicken and bake uncovered at 350 degrees for 30-45 minutes, until the sauce is thickened. Makes 4 servings.

 

Ham Fried Rice

 

Cook 1 cup of uncooked rice which yields 2 cups of cooked rice. (4 servings)

1/2 C. Frozen Peas

1 bunch green onion, finely chopped

 Ham (cut into small pieces)

Dash of salt

Veg. oil

1-2 tsp. soy sauce

Scramble the eggs in the wok with some oil. Cook until just barely done. Take out and set aside. Put in the ham and heat it up. Set that aside also. Next put the pre-cooked rice in the wok with some oil. Add the frozen frozen peas, heat those. Last, add the eggs, ham, onion, salt and soy sauce and mix together. Use the leftover sauce from the sweet n' sour chicken to pour over top of the rice. Enjoy!
