Bourgouise Breaded Chicken on Rice

Hey readers, it's Mathieu from the Modern Ape zine and blog. I cook and sometimes people like it, even though I always end up inventing new plates by complete accident. How? Why? Well, I'm cheap. I use discount ingredients and make the best plate I can with them. Does it turn out well? ...sometimes. Depends on the recipe and how "creative" I got with the procedures. If they told me how to cook it on the back of the box it will definitely turn out like it should on the back of the box... the first time. Will I post something awful? No way. Tastiness ensured. Olive oil exempt.

Anyways, I cooked this recipe two nights ago from a similar recipe I found online. But I pretty much completely disregarded the instructions, as I often do, and  made it from stuff typically in my college aged kitchen. LETS COOK.

Ingredients
2 Slices of Whole Wheat or Rye bread (toasted crisp)
4 chicken legs
1/2 onion
1/2 green pepper
4 stalks green onion
1 medium carrot
1 dream of childhood innocence
4 cloves garlic
1/8 stick of butter
dash of vegetable (equivalent) oil
2 cups rice
Salt, pepper, Cayenne Pepper, Louisiana (or equivalent) hot sauce, oregano

Directions
1) Preheat wok or large sauce pan to medium, preheat small pan to high
2) Boil 3 cups water and add rice
2) Grate bread in to crumbs, mince and crush the garlic, mix with all spices in a bowl and set aside
3) Strip the bone from the chicken leg and discard (or save for stew?). Cut chicken in to bite sized pieces.
4) Melt butter in sauce pan and add hot sauce. Coat chicken in the mix and bread.
5) Raise heat on wok and cook chicken. Add breaded mixture over top and mix it in the pan.
6) Chop onions, peppers, and green onions and the dream of childhood innocence however you see fit. Peel carrot in to slices
7) Add onions carrots and vegetable oil to small sauce pan, cooking until soft and browned
8) When chicken is nearly cooked, add the rest of the vegetables, warming them but not fully cooking them.
9) Serve all on top of rice

Serves 2. For you and a date to reminisce about what Beavis and Butthead episode was the best and why the world is broken.

I would take a picture but it would look like shit. Happy eatings!
