Since my family have been trying (take note of my choice of words ) to eat healthier, two of the proteins you’d usually see in our refrigerator are chicken meat and eggs. And I love making all kinds of dishes with them. So, when I was craving for McDonald’s McChicken sandwich, instead of spending almost Php 200 to have one delivered, I decided to make my own Chicken Fillet sandwich.

I’m on a low-carb diet, so I usually just enjoy a sandwich for lunch or dinner. My mother also loves sandwiches so we always come up with our own different sandwich spreads. And this one, I’ll keep on making. I know, there’s flour and all. But, c’mon. I’m on a LOW carb diet, not giving it up completely. Give me a break! Hahaha

Though this recipe is so easy, I still want to share it here for those who haven’t tried making chicken fillet or nuggets yet.

Chicken Fillet Sandwich and Chicken Nuggets
with Honey Mustard Sauce Recipe

INGREDIENTS:

• 3-4 chicken breasts, deboned and cut into cubes
  You will need a food processor or blender for this recipe. If you don’t have it, then, just skip the blending/grinding part of the procedure and just cut the chicken breasts into nugget-sized or sandwich fillet-sized pieces. But, you can also opt to chop them into really tiny pieces, if you’ve got the strength and time to do so.
• 1 tbsp. garlic powder
• 1 to 1 1/2 cup bread crumbs (click here to find out how to make your own bread crumbs, see step #1)
• 1 cup flour
• salt and pepper
• Optional: You can add your own spices or herbs for your chicken breasts. For mine, I added rosemary. But, you can add parsley and/or basil.
• Optional: 1-2 medium-sized eggs
  Half of the batch I made, I didn’t dip in the beaten eggs. But, if you prefer to include eggs, you can go ahead with this.
• 1 cup vegetable oil for semi-deep frying
• Lettuce for the sandwiches

Sandwich dressing: This is the mix that I used for our chicken sandwich.

• 1/4 cup mayonnaise
• 1/4 tbsp. lemon juice
• salt and pepper

Honey Mustard sauce: I don’t have any ingredients available to make barbecue sauce so I decided to make honey mustard instead. But, you can find ready-to-use barbecue sauce at the grocery.

• 1 tbsp. Dijon mustard
• 1 1/2 tsp. honey

One of the things that I’m absolutely addicted to nowadays is frozen yogurt. I’m addicted to the regular yogurt, too, but, enjoying a cup or tub of froyo can really freshen up my mood. I mean, it’s healthful and really yummy! So, I now opt to having frozen yogurt over ice cream anytime!

So far, I’ve only tried frozen yogurt being offered by 3 stores – Red Mango, The White Hat, and Yoh-Gurt. All I can say is I enjoyed all of them, but, I love the first 2 more.

Last time we were at SM Mall of Asia, Mai and I headed out to Red Mango to try out their frozen yogurt. I told Mai that I HAVE TO try all the frozen yogurt stores in MOA because I want to compare them to know which store offers the best frozen yogurt in town. And, I’m happy to say that Red Mango did not disappoint.

Have you ever tried Takoyaki?

I’ve had Takoyaki from different food stands in malls, grocery shops, and food courts. I enjoy it so much and I never really researched on what it’s made of or how it’s prepared. All I knew back then was that it’s made out of batter and vegetables, and that I love it, especially with the special sauce they come with.

These are "FAKE" Takoyaki balls we bought from Greenhills.

However, the last time we were at SM Mall of Asia, we came upon this food stall just outside SM Hypermarket – Musashi Takoyaki.
