SWEET AND SOUR BAKED CHICKEN
GARDENING TIPS
• 3-4 boneless chicken breasts, chopped • 3/4 cup corn starch • 2 eggs, beaten • 2 tablespoons canola oil • 1/4 cup sugar
• Plant bare-root trees and shrubs. • Apply chelated iron to plants prone to iron deficiency (chlorosis). • Aerate turf grass at the end of the month.
• 4 tablespoons ketchup • 1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce • 1/2 cup distilled white vinegar • 1 teaspoon garlic salt
Preheat oven to 325 degrees. While it is preheating, place cornstarch and chicken in a medium bowl. Stir them together until chicken is coated in cornstarch. Next, add eggs and stir to coat. Heat oil in a large skillet and pan-fry chicken pieces until just slightly browned, but not cooked through. While chicken is browning, mix sauce using the remaining ingredients. When chicken is ready, spray a 9x13 casserole dish with non-stick cooking spray and place chicken in the dish. Pour sauce on top, covering chicken. Bake for 60 minutes. Stir every 15 minutes to keep chicken well coated in sauce. Serve with rice or other side. Enjoy!
• Buy a tree and plant it on Arbor Day. • Take an online Extension gardening course and check out spring gardening tips at garden.usu.edu.

Memorial Day GARDENING TIPS
PEANUT BUTTER CRUMBLE MUFFINS • 6 tablespoons butter • 3/4 cup smooth peanut butter • 1 3/4 cup whole wheat flour • 1 teaspoon baking soda • 1/4 teaspoon salt • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• Check your sprinkler system for leaks, clean filters, and fix and align heads. • Control broadleaf weeds in your lawn when daytime temperatures are between 60-80 degrees. • Apply a slow-release fertilizer to the lawn.
• 1 large egg • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract • 3/4 cup low-fat milk • 12 ounces fruit preserves (strawberry, raspberry, or grape)
For Crumb Topping: • 1 cup oats • 1/2 cup brown sugar • 1/2 cup whole wheat flour • 4 tablespoons canola oil
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a medium bowl, mix oats, brown sugar, 1/2 cup whole wheat flour, and canola oil. Set aside. Microwave butter and peanut butter for 30 seconds, stirring well. If needed, microwave an additional 15 seconds until mixture is completely melted. Set aside to cool slightly. In a large bowl, whisk together egg, brown sugar, vanilla extract, and milk until smooth. Add peanut butter mixture; mix until smooth. Add remaining flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon and stir until just combined. Prepare a muffin tin with paper liners. Spray liners with non-stick cooking spray. Fill liners 3/4 of the way full. Place 1 tablespoon fruit preserves in center of batter, pushing down slightly. Place 1 - 1 1/2 tablespoons of the crumb topping on top. Bake for 20-22 minutes. Let cool before removing liners.
