CHICKEN PEPPERONI

Steps:

• * I used quartered low-fat pepperoni slices without sacrificing the taste. While I needed to use olive oil to make up for the missing rendered fat, I did save considerably on cholesterol.
• Cook pasta according to package directions.
• Dice pepperoni into 1/4" cubes.
• Cook in frying pan over medium heat, allowing the fat from it to render out. Remove from pan and set aside. Season flour with salt, pepper, oregano, basil, garlic powder and onion powder.
• Cut chicken in to bite-sized chunks.
• Dredge chicken pieces in seasoned flour until coated.
• Shake off excess flour and brown in the rendered pepperoni fat (and olive oil, if needed) until the chicken is almost cooked.
• Remove from pan and set aside. Whisk tomato sauce, tomato paste, crushed red pepper flakes and 1/2 cup water together in pan until smooth.
• Return chicken and pepperoni to pan.
• Bring to simmer and cook, stirring, for 5 to 7 minutes.
• Serve over a bed of pasta.

TANGY CHICKEN STEAK

Steps:

• In a small bowl, whisk together the vinegar, 1/2 cup of oil, the mustard, Italian seasoning, paprika, salt, and pepper. Rub the marinade liberally on each chicken cutlet. Arrange on a quarter sheet pan lined with parchment paper. Cover with plastic wrap and freeze for 30 minutes. Chicken will freeze slightly. Remove from the freezer and with a sharp knife, chip the slightly frozen meat as thin as possible.
• In a large saute pan over medium-high heat, add 2 tablespoons of oil. Add the onions and cook until slightly browned, about 2 minutes. Add the garlic and the chipped chicken meat and cook until the chicken is cooked through, about 5 minutes. Stir in the chives. Overlap the pepperoni on top of the chicken and repeat with the cheese slices. Turn off the heat and allow the heat from the meat to melt the provolone.
• With the help of a spatula scoop up the chicken with the cheese and put it on the split roll. Tuck some cherry pepper spread on the side of the roll. Wrap tightly in a square of parchment paper. Repeat with remaining rolls and filling.
