Ingredients

8 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs

3/4 C brown sugar

3/4 C low sodium soy sauce

1 tbsp (heaped) minced ginger

2 shallots, chopped

1 white onion, chopped

1 tsp five-spice

1 C water

Method

In a large frying pan heat 1 tbsp oil and place chicken thighs in pan. Add remaining ingredients, except the water. Sauté, turning chicken over until lightly golden brown on both sides. Add the water. Place a lid on the pan, turn down to simmer and cook 30-40 minutes until chicken’s internal temperature is 165 degrees F and juices run clear. Serve with your favourite vegetables and either potatoes or rice.

Done! Completed! Finished!

Have you noticed the tense of some of the verbs in Ephesians 1:14? “[W]ho [the Holy Spirit] is the guarantee of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, to the praise of His glory,” NKJV. I am thinking especially of the word “purchased.” The Lord Jesus Christ purchased our redemption on the cross. In His own words, “It is finished!” John 19:30. This Greek word tetelestai, denotes “paid in full.” I cannot work towards, nor earn, my salvation and I don’t need to! Jesus did it all! The work alone is His and He completed it to the Father’s complete satisfaction. Colossians 2:13-14 “And you, being dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, He [Jesus] has made alive together with Him, having forgiven you all trespasses, having wiped out the handwriting of requirements that was against us, which was contrary to us. And He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross.” For now, we have the Holy Spirit dwelling in our hearts and this assures our hearts that our salvation is accomplished, Jesus did rise from the dead, and one day He’s coming back, to the praise of His glory. Even so, come Lord Jesus!

Ingredients

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts cut into approximately 1″ cubes

1/4 cup flour

1/2 tsp paprika

1/2 tsp ground ginger

Cilantro paste

Lemongrass paste

1 cup Sugar Snap Peas

3 Scallions (Green Onions, root end removed)

2 tbsp vegetable oil, plus 1 tbsp

3 tbsp butter, plus 1 tbsp

Method

In a large bowl mix flour with dried spices. I used paprika and ginger but use your favourites!

Prepare green onions, cilantro paste and lemongrass paste. I can get these pastes in a tube at my local grocery store. If you can’t find them in a paste form, use fresh cilantro stems, saving the leaves for garnish later, and prepare your own lemongrass by removing the tough woody end, bashing the lemongrass with the side of your knife then after dicing into small bits mash them in a mortar and pestle until a somewhat smooth paste.

Put the oil and butter into a frying pan and heat on medium high. When it is sizzling add the chicken pieces and cook 10 minutes, stirring frequently until golden brown on all sides.

Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside. Add 1 tbsp oil to the pan and 1 tbsp butter. Now add the two pastes and stir fry until golden and fragrant. Add in the onions and peas and stir fry for 5 minutes.

Once the peas are cooked to tender crisp, add the chicken back to the pan and give everything a good stir. Serve with prepared rice and some iceburg lettuce with a simple dressing of lemon juice, vegetable oil and salt.

Sing to the Lord!

Isn’t it wonderful when we gather together and sing praises to the Lord? There is something eternally sweet about recognizing and worshipping the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Throughout Scripture we see God protecting His name. He does not allow it to be maligned in any way. I think He must take great delight in hearing us praise His name. Romans 15:9 quotes 2 Samuel 22:50, “Therefore I will give thanks to You, O Lord, among the Gentiles, And sing praises to Your name,” NKJV. I am so thankful those first century Jewish believers took the name of Jesus to the whole world. As a Gentile I am so full of joy to be grafted in because I am a believer in the Lord Jesus Christ and His completed work at Calvary! It is also good and wonderful to praise my Lord in song even when I am by myself. It is a fantastic way to lift the spirits and I often find a certain melody or chorus will stay in my thoughts for the rest of the day. The last few psalms echo and reecho with the refrain to “Praise Him!” So as you go about preparing this supper, praise your Lord. Rejoice in His presence with you and revel in the opportunity to praise His name! Praise the LORD!
