Ranch Chicken BLT Sandwich Recipe

Ranch Chicken BLT Sandwich
This sandwich is a lot like the ranch chicken BLT from McDonald’s restaurant. If you are not familiar with this sandwich, it is fried chicken topped with bacon, lettuce, tomato and ranch dressing. I honestly do not eat at McDonald’s much but this is one of my favorite sandwiches when I do. For frying the chicken you can use a deep-pot or a deep-fryer. For the best results I would recommend using a deep-fryer if you have one. If you end up with thick chicken breasts, you could just cut one in half instead of using four. You can use your favorite brand of bottled ranch for this recipe. Enjoy.

I always enjoy a delicious recipe for pork chops with gravy. This recipe consists of breaded, fried pork chops that are topped with mushroom gravy.

You can also use boneless skinless chicken breasts instead of pork if you would prefer.

Here is a copycat recipe for the Fiesta Lime Chicken at Applebee’s restaurant. This dish consists of marinated grilled chicken that is topped with a slightly spicy sauce, cheese, and Pico de Gallo. The chicken is marinated in ingredients such as teriyaki sauce and lime juice. The sauce gets a lot of its flavor from salsa, hot sauce, and Cajun seasoning. You can use less Cajun seasoning if you are not a fan of spicy foods. The Pico de Gallo is just a simple combination of tomatoes, red onion, jalapeno pepper, salt and lime juice. The best method to cook the chicken is on an outdoor grill but an indoor grill pan will work as well. You can serve this recipe with tortilla chips and rice. Enjoy.

Pizza Chicken Recipe

Pizza Chicken
This recipe for pizza chicken is very similar to chicken parmesan but it is topped with pizza sauce instead of the marinara and also topped off with sliced pepperoni. The combination of chicken, pizza sauce, cheese, and pepperoni is delicious. You can use your favorite brand of pizza sauce for this recipe or even make your own. The most work that is involved is breading the chicken. The chicken is baked in the oven but you can fry it in about ½ inch of oil in a large skillet first and then bake it if you would prefer. I like to serve this recipe with spaghetti tossed with extra pizza sauce and pepperoni. Enjoy.

Jerk Spice Rub
Having a good variety of dry rubs is always important for grilling season. This recipe is for a Jamaican jerk spice rub. A lot of the flavor in this rub comes from seasonings such as allspice, nutmeg, cinnamon and cloves but there are several spices that come together to make this rub delicious. The best part is, chances are you already have all or most of these spices on hand. The use of cayenne pepper helps to add a little bit of heat to this mixture and you can adjust it to your taste if you wish. This rub goes great on chicken, pork or shrimp. The photos in the recipe display this seasoning mixture on grilled chicken breasts topped with mango salsa. Enjoy.

Tex-Mex Chili Dogs Recipe

Tex-Mex Chili Dogs
These Tex-Mex chili dogs can be prepared in one of two days—the hot dogs can be cooked right in the slow cooker with the sauce or the sauce can be prepared on the stovetop and the hot dogs can either be grilled or boiled. I cooked the hot dogs on an indoor grill pan but an outdoor grill would be even better. The hot dogs are loaded with a sauce, Frito chips, chopped tomato and shredded cheese. The sauce is a combination of canned chili, chopped green chili peppers and cheddar cheese soup. I like to serve these hot dogs with French fries. Enjoy.

To prepare this burrito—ground beef is first browned in the pan and then mixed with refried beans. A sauce is prepared separately and then mixed with the meat and beans and simmered on the stovetop.

Chick-fil-A Nuggets
This is a copycat recipe for the chicken nuggets from Chick-fil-A restaurant. Unfortunately, living in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, we do not have a Chick-fil-A around here so I cannot comment on how close this recipe is to the actual dish. The chicken is first marinated in a mixture of dill pickle juice and milk, then dipped in egg and milk and then breaded in a flour mixture. The chicken nuggets can be cooked in the pan or fried in the deep-fryer. They are served with a homemade honey mustard sauce which is a combination of mayonnaise, yellow mustard, Dijon mustard, and lemon juice. Enjoy.
