Lemon Chipotle Chicken

Ingredients:

  • Chicken breast
  • One lemon
  • Tabasco Chipotle Sauce
  • Oregano
  • Olive oil
  • Sage
  • Thyme
  • Black pepper
  • Ziploc bag big enough for all the chicken, a sharp knife and a cutting board
  • A frying pan is required as well

Preparation:


Start off by slicing up the chicken into even sized chunks about 1 cubic inch. (No need to be too accurate).


As you cut the chicken add it to the Ziploc  bag.


Slice up and juice the whole lemon into a bowl.


Add a dash of pepper, a teaspoon each of oregano, sage, and thyme.


Add in about an eighth of a cup of chipotle sauce to the mix.


Add this mixture into the Ziploc with the chicken. shake until evenly coated and let sit while we move on to the next step.

Put olive oil in the bottom of your pan and heat it on just slightly above medium heat.


Add the chicken to the pan by pouring it out of the bag. Make sure it is spread evenly on the bottom of the pan and that each piece is touching the bottom of the pan. If you have too much chicken, you may have to make two pans.


Allow this to cook for a few minutes or until you see lots of bubbles all around the base of the chicken. Then mix it up until the majority of the pink is touching the pan.


Mix the chicken every minute until each piece has the same color all the way through.


 As soon as the largest piece has an even color all the way to the middle, remove the chicken and let it cool for about 1 minute on a plate. Enjoy!

Cinnamon Apple Rings

Ingredients:


  • One apple
  • Ground cinnamon
  • Granulated white sugar
  • Knives (1 short, 1 long, both sharp)


Preparation:

Core the apple with the shorter knife, one end at a time. This is hard to do well with a knife, so if you have an apple corer that does NOT slice the apple you can use that.




Slice the apple thinly to make rings out of the apple. These rings should be as thin as possible.




Mix in your cinnamon container 1 part round cinnamon to 2 parts granulated sugar. Shake this mixture well. Coat your apple rings with your cinnamon sugar and enjoy!

Fried Banana Sandwich

You will need:

What You Need

  • One banana
  • Two slices of bread of your choice
  • Butter
  • Peanut butter
  • Honey
  • Pan
  • Knife
Preparation:
Step One: Heat the butter in the pan on medium or low-medium heat.
Step 2: While your butter is heating, slice up that banana. For this a butter knife works fine, but I prefer a sharp knife.
Step 3: Spread on that peanut butter and layer on some honey. I like less peanut butter and more honey because I'm all about the sweet without the peanut butter making my mouth stick together.

Step 4: Cook up those banana slices. Put them all in at once and you should be able to hear them pop a bit in the butter. Let them cook until they are more yellow and less off-white.
Step 5: Add those bananas right on top of your bread and put it all together. I like slicing my sandwiches but that's obviously a personal call.
