It’s time for Karen’s Killer Fixin’s!  Over the years, I’ve filled two 4-inch, 3-ring binders with my own creations as well as recipes my family and friends were willing to share with me.  I simply love to cook and want to share that love with my readers.

So every Friday, I share one recipe I think you and your family might enjoy.  It might be a main course recipe.  A cookie or baked item.  Candy.  Salads.  Whatever strikes my eye and fancy…which today is SICHUAN CHICKEN.

I love Oriental foods, the fresh flavors and intriguing textures. This recipe for Sichuan Chicken is incredibly quick and easy to make, not to mention delicious! A great last minute meal when you’ve come home tired and hungry.

I hope you enjoy today’s Killer Fixin’s.  Happy eating!
