A Bowl of Sweet and Sour Pork.

Skillet Sweet and Sour Pork Recipe

Hands down, this is one of my family’s favorite Chinese meals to make at home. It is the most perfect combination of sweet and sour. By using two different vinegars instead of just one you get a complex flavor that combines with the sweet of the sugar and ketchup that is divine. The soy sauce gives it that savory touch it needs to balance it all out. Then you toss the sauce with tender juicy pork, crisp tender vegetables and sweet tart pineapple that is so heavenly. This might be a bit of work, but it is totally worth it!

I love being able to make my own take out. You can control what goes in and what doesn’t go in your food. I know exactly what I’m feeding my family. You can also  customize homemade take out to your liking as well, making it absolutely perfect.  This Sweet and Sour Pork, is no exception. It is scrumptious and It won’t sit heavy in your stomach like some take out can. Give this sweet and sour a try, you will not be disappointed!

What You Need For Chinese Pork

This seems like a lot of ingredients but most you probably have on hand. They combine to make the BEST sweet and Sour Pork EVER!

  • Oil: This is the oil you will use for frying so use a high smoke oil, such as canola or peanut.
  • Pork: I used a pork tenderloin cut into one inch pieces.
  • Salt and Pepper: Add to taste
  • Cornstarch: You will use this coat the pork to help create a nice crust.
  • Red Bell Pepper: Cut the pepper into one inch pieces.
  • Green Bell Pepper: Dice the pepper into the same size as each other.
  • Onion: Cut the onion to be like the pepper so it will get done at the same time.
  • Pineapple Chunks: Use a 15 ounce can drained.

Homemade Sweet and Sour Sauce

  • Sugar: This provides the sweet, good old white sugar.
  • Ketchup: Ketchup also adds sweet and a bit of tang.
  • White Vinegar: White vinegar has the intense sour taste you want.
  • Apple Cider Vinegar: Apple cider vinegar is milder in the sour taste so it isn’t over powering.
  • Soy Sauce: Classic flavor for sweet and sour, use low sodium if you wish.
  • Garlic Salt: Adds flavor and the salt helps flavor everything else out too.
  • Cornstarch: This will help thicken the sauce.
  • Sesame Seeds and Green Onions: These are optional, but I highly recommend them.

How to Make Sweet and Sour Pork

These ingredients combine in the most amazing way to create a dish your family is going to ask for again and again.

  1. Prep: In a large skillet add the oil about one inch high in the pan and heat to 350 degrees.
  2. Coat: Salt and pepper the pork and toss in the cornstarch to coat completely.
  3. Fry: Add the pork to the oil and cook until golden and crispy about 3-4 minutes. Remove and set aside on a plate.
  4. Sauté: In a large skillet add the olive oil, bell pepper and onion and sauté until tender.
  5. Sauce: In a small bowl whisk the sugar, ketchup, vinegar, soy sauce, salt and cornstarch.
  6. Combine:  Add the pork and pineapple back to the skillet with the peppers and pour the sauce on top. Let simmer until heated through. Garnish with sesame seeds and green onions.

Tips For The Best Sweet and Sour Pork

Sweet and sour pork is a classic Cantonese dish that Americans have fallen in love with, and put our own little spin on. Either way this recipe hits the flavors right on!

  • Pork: I used a pork tenderloin, but you can use a pork butt or shoulder roast as well. You do not want super lean pork as it will result in tough chewy pieces of pork. You want a bit of fat for tender yummy bites of pork. Cut them evenly so they cook evenly.
  • Vegetables: I love using the red and green peppers for the different flavors and colors. You can substitute for yellow and or orange peppers as well.
  • Pineapple: I like to cut the pineapple chunks in half to make them a bit more bite size friendly and so that there are more to go around. You can use fresh pineapple too, just cook the pineapple towards the end of the peppers and onion sauté so that they can cook for 3-5 minutes. This will reduce their acidity.
  • Cornstarch: Using cornstarch instead of flour will give you a crispier crunch to your pork. Do not substitute it for flour.
  • How to know when my pork is done: Pork internal temperature should be 145 degrees. Note that pork can be 145 degrees and still have a bit of pink. It is still done.
  • Want more crisp to your pork? Double fry your pork nuggets. Fry the first time for 3-4 minutes or till cooked through and golden brown. Let drain on a wire rack. Heat the oil up to about 390 degrees and fry again for 1-1 ½ minutes or till a deep golden. This actually keeps the pork from getting greasy, it’s just extra crunchy.

How to Serve Your Pork and Some Variations

You could probably eat this sweet and sour right from the pan and it would be amazing, but I often like to serve it with a bit more.

  • Serve: The classic way to serve this is on top of a bed of white fluffy rice. You can also serve it over brown rice, quinoa, or stir fried noodles.
  • Variations:  Add more vegetables to your sweet and sour pork for extra umph. Zucchini, mushrooms, broccoli and sugar snap peas are all delicious.
  • Saucy: If you like your sweet and sour pork a bit on the saucy side, double the recipe of sauce before adding in all the extras.

How to Store Sweet and Sour Pork

This is a great make ahead meal or reheat for lunch the next day. It is the perfect family meal for all!

  • Storing: Leftovers keep in the fridge tightly sealed for up to 3 days. For best results reheat on the stove top. Microwave will work too, but the vegetables my get a tad soggy.
  • Freeze:  You can freeze leftovers too. Place cooled sweet and sour pork in a freezer safe bag and freeze for up to 3 months. Let them thaw overnight in the fridge and reheat on the stovetop.

The BEST Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

These are the Best Oatmeal Raisin Cookies you will ever make! These cookies are chewy, sweet and the perfect treat.

Oatmeal is a wonderful ingredient to bake with, it adds nutrition and flavor. We love these glorious oat recipes, No Bake Cookies, Chocolate Chip and Granola!

Easy Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

I know, oatmeal raisin cookies can sometimes get a bad rap. They are often the last ones to get eaten out of a combo pack, but that needs to change. With this homemade cookie recipe, oatmeal raisin cookies are going to get the credit they deserve. These cookies are soft, buttery and heavenly. With a crisp chewy outside and tender outside, the texture is perfect for all cookie lovers. The raisins give the cookie a touch of extra sweetness and a bit of bite that is perfectly balanced with the oats. They are sublime.

Oats are super good for you. They are heart healthy, full of fiber, protein, vitamins and minerals. I like to think that adding oatmeal to a cookie actually makes them healthy. While that may not be exactly the case, it makes me feel better as I eat three of them in one sitting. These cookies are simple to make and really do taste delightful.  So if you weren’t a fan of oatmeal raisin, I dare you to try them again for the first time. You won’t regret it!

Ingredients for Oatmeal Cookies

Classic cookie ingredients come together to make these intensely delicious cookies.

  • Flour: Use All purpose or unbleached flour.
  • Cinnamon: A beautiful aromatic spice that goes perfectly with oatmeal.
  • Baking Soda: This is your leavening agent that will help the cookies rise.
  • Salt: Balances the sweet and makes the oatmeal cookies scrumptious.
  • Butter: Soften the butter for easier mixing or make sure it is at room temperature.
  • Brown Sugar: Use either light or dark brown sugar in your cookies. Dark brown will give a stronger flavor and be a tad bit more moist.
  • Sugar: Having white sugar in the cookies also adds moisture and helps them brown beautifully.
  • Eggs: Bring your eggs to room temperature so they can mix optimally.
  • Vanilla: A classic flavor you do not want to skip out on.
  • Honey: Sweet and delicious the honey pairs beautifully with the oats and helps them hang on to the moisture.
  • Old Fashioned Oats: Old fashioned oats are also known as rolled oats.
  • Raisins: Make sure your raisins are fresh, chewy and soft. Not hard and tough.

How To Make Chewy Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

Super easy to make, you can these ready to eat in no time. The hardest part is letting them cool before digging in!

  1. Dry Ingredients: In a medium size bowl combine the flour, cinnamon, baking soda and salt.
  2. Wet Ingredients: In another bowl cream the butter, brown sugar, sugar, eggs, vanilla and honey.
  3. Combine: Slowly combine the flour mixture with the wet ingredients.
  4. Add: Stir in the oats and raisins till just combined.
  5. Get it cold: Chill for 30 minutes.
  6. Bake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Scoop out a tablespoon of cookie dough and place on a parchment lined baking sheet. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown.

Mixing the dry ingredients, then the butter and sugars and adding it all together with the raisins.

Tips For The Best Oatmeal Raisin Cookies Ever

Truly there is something magical about the oatmeal, raisins and butter that makes these cookies so tempting. The edges are crispy, the raisins plump and there is very distinct buttery flavor that is irresistible.

  • Oats: For the best flavor and texture use rolled oats or old fashioned oats. You can use quick oats too, use the same amount. The oatmeal cookies may not have the same chew, but they will still taste amazing.
  • Fresh Raisins: Make sure your raisins are fresh, soft and chewy. If they are hard, dry and lumped together you cookies will be the same way. You can soak your raisins in warm water for 10 minutes to plump them up extra if you desire. Blot them till they are really dry before adding to the cookie dough.
  • Cookie Dough: Speaking of cookie dough, do not be surprised if the dough is sticky. It is a good thing. Do not be tempted to add more flour. Also do not over mix the dough once you combine the wet and dry ingredients, it will toughen up your cookies.
  • Chill it: Do not chill for longer than 30 minutes as it will prevent the oatmeal cookies from spreading. Also if it is longer than 30 minutes the oatmeal starts to absorb too much of the moisture in the dough which can dry them out.
  • Room Temperature Eggs and Butter: Make sure your butter and eggs are at room temperature so they mix optimally.
  • Cookie Sheet: Use parchment paper on your cookie sheet to insure easy release of your cookies. Spraying a cookie sheet can cause the oatmeal raisin cookies to spread too much and make them flat.

Variations for Healthy Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

Not everyone loves oatmeal raisin cookies, I am sure that with this recipe it will change their minds, but if it does not, here are some other ideas for cookies.

  • Raisins: If you are not a fan of raisins substitute them out for cranraisins, dried cherries, currants or golden raisins.
  • Get nutty: For extra texture and flavor add 1/2-¾ cup chopped pecans or walnuts. Yum!
  • Toast the Oatmeal: For a fun twist in flavor toast the oatmeal briefly in a dry hot pan on the stove till slightly browned and fragrant.
  • Add-ins: Stir in about half a cup of flaked coconut or chocolate chips for a nice flavor mix.

How to Properly Store and Freeze Cookies Dough

  • Storing your Cookies: Oatmeal raisin cookies will not dry out as fast as other cookies because the raisins provide moisture and the oatmeal holds on to it. These will keep at room temperature in a tightly sealed container or tightly sealed plastic bag for up to 2 weeks. Freeze the cookies by placing them in a freezer safe bag for up to 3 months.
  • Freeze the Dough: This is a trick I like to use often. Double the batch of cookies, bake half and freeze the other half. Drop the cookie dough into cookie shape on a cookie sheet and freeze for about 2 hours. Transfer the cookie dough into a freezer safe bag and keep for 3 months. Cook straight from the freezer to the oven, just add 2-3 min more to your cook time.

Whether you are making cookies for lunches, cookie exchanges or a nice dessert, there is a cookie recipe for it. Holidays are not the same without their classic cookies. They make the best portable dessert for picnics and potlucks too. When you need a cookie recipe I’ve got you covered with my tried and true.

Chicken Cordon Bleu

Chicken Cordon Bleu has layers of ham and cheese wrapped inside succulent crumbed chicken breast and with a crunchy breadcrumb crust. This one is oven-baked making it healthier too.

Chicken is an easy and favorite dish! For more succulent chicken, try this Chicken and these Chicken Nuggets too.

Closeup of the inside of chicken cordon blue with cheese oozing out.

Homemade Chicken Cordon Bleu

This crunchy breadcrumb coated chicken cordon blue has it all. Flavor, juicy chicken and gooey cheese, it’s all topped with a rich and creamy mustard sauce that’s so simple to make.

After loads of testing with different filling and cooking methods, I can now share all the tips for the perfect cordon bleu recipe.

What is Cordon Bleu?

Traditionally, cordon bleu is some form of schnitzel filled with ham and cheese, then rolled and pan fried.

This one is oven baked making it a little healthier and also easier to make. Once they’re ready to cook, then go straight into a hot oven and bake for around 30 minutes. No babysitting necessary.

Ingredients in Classic Chicken Cordon Bleu

One of the greatest things about this recipe is it uses minimal ingredients and they’re all very common.

  • Chicken breast: use cutlets / schnitzel or cut them yourself from scratch.
  • Ham: Use very thinly sliced or shaved ham and ham cut off the bone has the best flavor.
  • Cheese: Gouda is wonderful, if you can get it, but Swiss or Provolone work well too. Even cheddar. You want a creamy semi-hard cheese in either slice or block form – not shredded.
  • Plain flour, salt, onion powder and pepper: This makes up the first of the 3 dredging / breading stages, perfectly seasoning the chicken at the same time.
  • Egg: Just one egg for this recipe will coat 4 cordon bleus.
  • Panko bread crumbs: I like panko as they’re light and super crispy but other types will work too.
  • Olive oil: Just a touch is mixed with the breadcrumbs, which helps them to get crunchy and get a touch of color too.

Ingredients for the Sauce

This cordon bleu recipe comes with it’s own super simple creamy mustard sauce too. Don’t feel like creamy mustard sauce? Try this Homemade Cheese Sauce or even this Easy Homemade Tomato Sauce.

  • Chicken stock / broth: Use a low sodium, good-quality stock. Qualities vary greatly but a good one will be flavorful before you add anything else.
  • Dried thyme: You can use other dried herbs too – sage, basil, oregano will all work well.
  • Single / Light Cream: You can also use heavy cream if that’s what you have on hand.
  • Dijon mustard: Dijon is definitely best here – it gives a light tang and good mustard hit. You can use the same quantity of mustard powder, or use wholegrain mustard for something different.
  • Cornstarch and water: This simple mix will thicken your sauce without the need to make a roux. You only need a little and it doesn’t alter the texture or flavor of the sauce in any way.

How to Make Chicken Cordon Bleu

Here’s the quick step by step details for making chicken cordon blue but make sure to check out my tips below this section for all the tips to make them perfect.

  1. Pound the chicken out to an even thickness all over (about ¼ to ⅓ of an inch).
  2. Place ham then cheese on top of the chicken.
  3. Roll it up tightly pulling in the sides as you go.
  4. Wrap in plastic wrap and freeze for 40-60 minutes.
  5. Unwrap and coat first in a flour mixture, then egg, then breadcrumbs.
  6. Bake for 30-35 minutes – cooking time will depend on the size of your chicken breasts.

Cordon Bleu Tips and Tricks

  • Pound the chicken: This does three things – it tenderizes the meat, makes it larger (easier to fit in filling and roll) and it makes the meat even thickness all over (so it cooks evenly too). Don’t be too rough though.
  • Cover the chicken: Cover the meat with plastic wrap before pounding to stop any bits spraying off all over your kitchen.
  • Ham first: Place a thin layer of ham all over the chicken first.
  • Cheese second: Cut the cheese so that it sits at least 1 inch from both sides of the chicken. The ham is then folded over it creating a little parcel. This locks the gooey cheese in so there’s less chance of it escaping.
  • Roll it up tightly: Using a piece of plastic wrap under the chicken will help you roll it. Pull in the sides as you go. Make sure not to roll the plastic wrap inside the chicken. Once rolled up, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap.
  • Bread quickly: Remove the plastic wrap and work quickly when you bread the parcels. The heat from your hands can heat them up too much which may cause them to unroll.
  • Use a rack: Place the chicken on a rack, on top of a baking tray to bake. This will allow the air to circulate around the whole chicken parcel meaning crispy breadcrumbs all over. No soggy bits and no need to turn them.

What to Serve with Chicken Cordon Bleu

Chicken cordon bleu is a rich dish with bold flavors so simple sides work best. Try this Perfect “Roasted” Air Fryer Asparagus or Panzanella Salad.

This Amazing Pear and Beet Salad is a lovely side in addition to some Amazing Air Fryer French Fries.

How to Freeze it

Freezing the chicken parcels for 40-60 minutes before cooking will assist in the chicken holding it’s shape making it easier to handle and again making sure that cheese can’t escape once it starts baking.

Ingredients

FOR THE CHICKEN

  • 4 chicken cutlets / un-crumbed schnitzels (notes)
  • 5 ounce thinly sliced or shaved ham
  • 4 ounce sliced or block cheese (Gouda, Swiss or Provolone)
  • 2 ½ tablespoons all purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoons onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon cracked black pepper
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup panko bread crumbs (notes)
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil

FOR THE MUSTARD SAUCE

  • 1 cup low sodium chicken stock
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • cup cream
  • 2 tablespoons dijon mustard
  • 4 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 4 teaspoons water

Instructions

FOR THE CHICKEN

  • One at a time, place a chicken cutlet on a chopping board, cover with plastic wrap, then gently bash out to about ¼ inch thick with the flat side of a meat mallet (or bottom of a heavy based pan).
  • Sit one cutlet on a clean piece of plastic wrap. Cover all over with ¼ of the ham. Place ¼ of the cheese in the centre, making sure it's at least 1 inch from the edges. Fold the ham over the cheese on the sides and the part closest to you.
  • Roll the chicken up tightly away from you, pulling in the edges as you go. Use the plastic wrap to help but don't let the plastic wrap end up inside the chicken.
  • Wrap the chicken tightly in the plastic wrap, then place on a plate. Repeat with the other 3 cutlets.
  • Freeze for 40-60 minutes - just until a little firmer, not frozen (this will help them keep their shape) as you coat and bake them.
  • Preheat the oven to 400F. Line a large baking tray with baking paper then sit an oven proof rack on top. Set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the flour, salt, onion powder and pepper. Beat the egg in a second bowl. To a third bowl, add the crumbs and oil, then mix well so the crumbs are evenly coated.
  • Unwrap the chicken then roll in the flour mix, making sure it's well coated all over. Repeat with the rest, placing them back on the plate.
  • Coat 1 piece of chicken in the egg then let the excess drip off, before coating well in crumbs, making sure to press them on. Place on the prepared rack and repeat with remaining chicken parcels.
  • Bake for around 30 minutes, until starting to turn golden and cooked through.

FOR THE MUSTARD SAUCE

  • While the chicken bakes, heat the stock and thyme together in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a simmer and cook until reduced by half.
  • Add the cream and dijon and stir to combine. Bring back to a simmer.
  • Combine the corn starch and water then pour half into the sauce while constantly whisking. Add more until its the consistency you like. If it gets too thick, just add a little water or stock.
  • Season with salt and pepper.

Notes

  1. Chicken cutlets are chicken breasts that have been sliced in half through the thickness making 2 thinner breasts. You can do this yourself using large chicken breasts.
    • Place the chicken breast on a chopping board and place one hand on top to press down lightly.
    • Use a sharp knife to slice through the centre, starting at the thickest end and working towards the thin tip.
  2. Panko bread crumbs are light and very crispy Japanese bread crumbs. They're available in most grocery stores.
