2 TB Vegetable Oil
6 TB Soy Sauce
4 TB Butter

Slice chicken, onion, zucchini and mushrooms into bite-size pieces.
Spread 1 tbsp oil in a large frying pan over medium high. Spread

sauteing the sliced chicken into one of the pans. Add 1 tbsp soy
sauce, 1 tbsp butter and a dash of salt and pepper to the chicken.
Add the onion and zucchini to the other pan. Add 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1
tbsp butter and a dash of salt and pepper. Saute the vegetables as
long as the chicken is cooking, being sure to stir both pan often.
When the chicken has sauteed for about 2 minutes or when it appears
white on all sides, slide the meat to one side of the pan, pour lemon
juice on it, then add the mushrooms to the other side of the pan.
Pour 1 tbsp of the soy sauce over the mushrooms, then add 1 tbsp
butter plus a dash of salt and pepper. Continue to stir both pans.
After 6 to 8 minutes, or when the chicken is done, sprinkle 1 tsp
sesame seeds over the chicken, then mix the chicken with the
mushrooms. Spoon the chicken mixture in 4 even portions on 4 plates
next to 4 even portions of the vegetables from the other pan. Pour
the bean sprouts into the same pan in which you cooked the vegetables
and cook over high heat. Add 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp butter and a
dash of salt and pepper. Cook the sprouts for only a minute or two,
or until they have tenderized. Just before you serve the sprouts,
sprinkle 2 tsp sesame seeds on them. Serve the sprouts next to the
chicken and vegetables with mustard sauce and ginger sauce on the
side.

1 ds garlic powder
1 ds black pepper,Ground


**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.

Applebee's Oriental Chicken Salad

Yield: 1 Servings

3 TB Honey
1 1/2 ts White Vinegar
4 ts Mayonnaise
1 TB Dijon Mustard
1/8 ts Sesame Oil

Salad:

Using an electric mixer, blend together all the ingredients for the
dressing in a small bowl. Put the dressing in the refrigerator to
chill while you prepare the salad. Preheat the oil in a deep fryer
or frying pan over medium heat to 350. Oil needs to be at least 1/2"
deep. In a small, shallow bowl beat the egg, add the milk and mix
well. In another bowl, combine the flour with the cornflake crumbs,
salt and pepper. Cut the chicken breast into 4 to 5 long strips.
Dip each strip into the egg mixture then into the flour mixture,
coating each piece completely. Fry each chicken finger for 5 minutes
or until the coating has darkened to brown. Prepare the salad by
tossing the romaine with the red cabbage, napa cabbage and carrot.
Sprinkle the green onion on top of the lettuce mixture. Sprinkle the
almonds over the salad, then the chow mein noodles. Cut the chicken
into bite-size chunks. Place the chicken on the salad, forming a
pile in the middle. Serve with salad dressing on the side.

a covered container in the refrigerator until salad is ready.
2. Combine water, lime juice, soy sauce, and Worcestershire in a medium bowl, and
stir. Add the chicken breasts to the marinade, cover bowl and keep in refrigerator for
several hours. Overnight is even better.
3. When chicken is marinated, preheat a frying pan or skillet (an iron skillet, if you've got
it) over medium/high heat. Also, preheat your barbecue grill to medium/high heat.
4. Combine the spices for the Cajun spice blend in a small bowl. Sprinkle a teaspoon
of the spice blend over one side of each of the chicken breasts. Cover the entire
surface of the chicken with spice.
5. Melt the butter in the hot pan, then sear the chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes on the
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.
Serves 2 as an entree.
