CHICKEN OSCAR
This is a very simple, yet elegant entree which is especially nice for a romantic meal. It's best if you can find fresh dungeness crab, but even canned crab will work. This is a popular dish served in restaurants on the West coast.

- Place chicken breasts, one at a time, into a plastic bag; pound to 1/4-inch thick, and then cut each in half. Dredge in a mix of flour, salt and pepper.

- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~.
- Tips: Zap leftover sauce in microwave for 30 seconds and use to spoon over a side dish of asparagus.
- COW SOUP MIX: (Cream-Of-Whatever) 2 c powdered milk (best if NOT instant), 3/4 c Instant ClearJel®*, 3 Tbsp dry chicken bouillon, 1 Tbsp onion powder, 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp white pepper. Mix thoroughly, store in an airtight container and use within 12 months.
- Freeze leftover egg whites in an ice cube tray. To brush as "glue" for seeds or toppings over bread dough, thaw and mix with a little water.
- *Instant ClearJel®: Which I affectionately refer to as ICJ. For info about this amazing modified food starch (MFS thickener) visit my cooking site. http://www.sharonanne.com/mfs_chart.htm.

CHICKEN OSCAR WITH A HOLLANDAISE SAUCE
Here is my version of Chicken Oscar, I know there are many different recipes that usually only slightly vary in ingredients, whether it be what seafood is used, to the sauce it is served with. There is a restaurant in Australia that serves Mortan Bay Bugs (they come from the crayfish family.) with theirs with a mushroom sauce. I have also been to restaurants in London, where the meat is veal. Which ever way you choose to make it and no matter what your choice of ingredients are, it is still a very yummy dish that always goes down well with guests. I made this the other night when my sister came over with her daughter, there were 5 of us, but I have adjusted the ingredients below with what I believe will work for 4 people.
