MEXICAN DRESSING (A HOMEMADE SALAD DRESSING)

Steps:

• Add mayonnaise and blend until combined. Store refrigerated.

NONNA'S TUSCAN SALAD DRESSING

CILANTRO LIME VINAIGRETTE {ZESTY MEXICAN SALAD DRESSING}

Steps:

• Measure ingredients into the bowl of a mini food processor (or blender). Pulse until well-blended and emulsified. Taste and adjust seasonings, adding more salt and pepper if necessary. (Alternatively, you may measure all ingredients into a jar with a tight-fitting lid and shake vigorously, OR whisk the ingredients together in a bowl.)
• Store leftovers in a sealed container in the refrigerator; allow to come to room temperature and shake well before using.

UNKNOWNCHEF86'S LEMON-PEPPER CHICKEN (SBD PHASE ONE)

Steps:

• Put the frying pan (preferably cast iron) over medium heat. Drizzle the oil in the pan. You can use more or less oil, as needed -- you just need enough to lightly coat the pan.
• Saute the red pepper flakes in the oil -- brown, but don't let them burn.
• Add the chicken breasts to the pan and generously sprinkle the spices over, to taste. Cover with a tight-fitting lid and turn to medium-low.
• After approximately 3-5 min, lift the lid and drizzle about a tablespoon of water into the pan. Re-cover and turn to medium low.
• When the breasts have turned opaque on top (approximately five minutes -- time will vary), turn over and re-season with just the lemon pepper and the garlic.
• Recover and continue to simmer til done -- approximately 5-10 minutes, adding a teaspoon or two more water if necessary.
• Drizzle any remaining juices on top of the chicken when serving.

• Roll out on floured cloth and cut with a Fattigmann cutter.
• Fry in hot oil until very lightly browned.
• Drain on a paper towel and dust with powdered sugar.

UNKNOWNCHEF86'S POUNDED CHICKEN FILETS (JOHNNY'S)

Steps:

• Pound the breast(s) out thin with the flat side of a meat mallet or heavy skillet (I put them in a gallon size Ziploc freezer bag first -- reduces "splatter").
• Melt the butter in a pan (I use cast iron) over medium heat.
• Put the breast(s) (how many depends on how big they are when pounded out) into the pan and sprinkle Johnny's Pork and Chicken Seasoning to taste.
• Let brown, turn, and sprinkle again.
• Let finish cooking (approximately 3-5 minutes per side).
• Make lots.
