Find the liquid ginseng for this recipe in your local health food store.
Be sure to get American ginseng if you can -- since the Chinese stuff can
taste pretty rank.

the water, then cover the pan and let the tea steep for 1 hour.
2. Pour the sugar and honey into a 2-quart pitcher. Pour the tea into the pitcher
and stir to dissolve sugar.

**other**


1 c cheddar/monterey jack cheese
- blend,shredded
2 c crumbled corn chips or,(see
tidbits) fried tortilla strips
1. Prepare marinade by combining marinade ingredients in a medium bowl. Add
the chicken to the bowl, cover and chill for 2 to 3 hours.
2. Make the mexi-ranch dressing by combining all of the ingredients in a medium
bowl. Mix well until smooth, then cover dressing and chill it until needed.
3. When you are ready to prepare the entree, preheat the oven to high broil.
Also, preheat your barbecue or indoor grill to high heat. When the grill is hot
cook the marinated chicken breasts for 3 to 5 minutes per side, or until they're
done.
4. Arrange the cooked chicken in a baking pan. Spread a layer of mexi-ranch
dressing over each piece of chicken (you'll have plenty left over), followed by 1/4
cup of the shredded cheese blend. Broil the chicken for 2 to 3 minutes, or just
until the cheese has melted.
5. Spread a bed of 1/2 cup of the tortilla strips or crumbled corn chips on each of
four plates. Slide a chicken breast onto the chips on each plate and serve with
your choice of rice, and pico de gallo, or salsa. Serves 4.
Tidbits: Crumbling store-bought tortilla chips is the easy way to make the bed of
crunchy chips that the tequila lime chicken rests on. But, you can make tortilla
strips like those served at the restaurant by cutting a stack of eight 6-inch corn
tortillas in half. Stack the halves on top of each other and slice the tortillas into
thin strips. Fry the tortilla strips in 2 cups of oil preheated in a large skillet for 3-5
minutes or until crispy. Salt lightly and cool on paper towels to drain.

of the spice blend over one side of each of the chicken breasts. Cover the entire
surface of the chicken with spice.

side with the spices. While first side cooks, sprinkle another teaspoon of spice over the
top of each chicken breast, coating that side as you did the other. Flip the chicken over,
and sear for another 2-3 minutes. The surface of the chicken will be coated with a
charred, black layer of flavor. This is exactly what you are shooting for.
6. Finish the chicken off on your barbecue grill. Grill each breast on both sides for 2-3
minutes, or until they are done.
7. While chicken is cooking prepare the salads by splitting the lettuce into two large
bowls. Toss in the red cabbage and carrots. Mix the cheeses together, then top the
salad with the cheeses and hard boiled egg. Sprinkle the diced tomato on each salad.
8. Slice the chicken breast, across each breast in 1/2-inch-thick slices. Spread the
chicken over the top of the salad and serve immediately with dressing on the side.

1 egg
1 T vanilla (or any extract or
-liquid f,lavoring you wish
1 ds nutmeg
3 c bisquick


In 1 1/2 quart mixing bowl, using wire whisk or mixing spoon, beat
7-Up with egg and vanilla (or extract/flavoring of your choice) and
beat in nutmeg (or any other powdered spice) to taste, till
thoroughly combined. Dump in the Bisquick. Stir to mix well, but do
NOT overbeat or bread will be heavy! Batter will be lumpy -- but all
dry particles well moistened by liquid ingredients. Scrape batter
down into Pam sprayed 8" Pyrex loaf dish.
Let stand 10 minutes to "proof" (give batter chance to rise a bit)
and bake in preheated 400 degree F oven 50 to 55 minutes -- or till
tests done. Best way to test it for doneness is to insert a
paper-covered wire trash bag "twist" through center of bread till it
touches the bottom of dish. When it come out clean of any wet batter,
remove to wire rack to cool 1 hour.
Remove from baking dish & allow bread to cool another 3 hours before
attempting to slice it. Store in plastic bags at room temperature to
use within 3 days. Freeze bread to use within 3 months -- slicing it
before you freeze it, though.

every bit as well as with the 7-Up. Follow recipe exactly as given
above, but you may use pumpking pie spice in place of nutmeg and
lemon extract instead of vanilla when you use the gingerale. Or use
