CRISPY CHICKEN OVER CHEDDAR BACON RANCH PASTA

Steps:

• 1. Fry bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crispy; drain on paper towels. Reserve 2 tablespoons of bacon grease for frying chicken. NOTE: save the rest for another recipe! I never discard good bacon grease.
• 2. I use extra-large skinless chicken breast (from SAM's) that I slice in half. Pound the chicken between two sheets of plastic wrap to about 1-inch thickness; coat chicken for frying.
• 3. Using three cake pans or bowls; add flour to one; season with salt and pepper. Add egg and milk to 2nd pan and then panko and parmesan to third pan; seasoned with salt.
• 4. Coat both sides of chicken with flour, coat both sides in the milk/egg mixture and then coat in panko.
• 5. Add butter to the reserved bacon drippings, and then add chicken to the same skillet. Cook until golden browned and done; remove from pan and set aside. Let chicken rest for 5 minutes before cutting/slicing it. This will help keep the chicken moist and from becoming too dry.
• 6. Add 3 tablespoons flour and ranch dressing mix into pan. Add additional butter if needed. Stir in the milk, stirring occasionally, until thickened and bubbly. Stir in the cheddar cheese; cook and stir until the cheese is melted. Taste for seasoning and adjust as needed.
• 7. Cook pasta according to package directions in boiling salted water; drain and return to pot. Stir in all but a little of the sauce and 1/2 of the bacon.
• 8. Plate pasta, slice chicken to go on top; drizzle with remaining sauce and top with remaining bacon and sliced green onions if desired.
• 9. Enjoy!

• Preheat oven to 450°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or heavy-duty foil and place a rack on it. Spray the rack lightly with oil.
• Whisk together the mustard, vinegar, salt, and pepper in a large bowl until they are well blended. Cut the chicken into ⅔" thick pieces or strips (or use chicken tenders, which are already about the size you want for this recipe. If you prefer a larger serving size of chicken, you can also butterfly the chicken into two thinner cutlets.). Add the chicken to the bowl and coat well on all sides.
• In a separate, shallow bowl, mix together the breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan, and a pinch of black pepper (optional). Mix well and then stir in the melted butter.
• Dredge the chicken pieces in the breadcrumb mixture, gently pressing the breadcrumbs into the chicken pieces. Move the dredged chicken to the wire rack.
• Place the baking sheet on the center rack of the oven and bake until the chicken is golden-crisp and cooked through, about 15 minutes. Do not overcook it.
• To make the dipping sauce, combine all the ingredients for the cool Ranch sauce in a small bowl and refrigarate. (The sauce is best if made ahead of time).

BACON AND CREAMY RANCH CHICKEN BURGERS WITH CRISPY SCALLION "STICKS"

Steps:

• Cook the bacon in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until it is crisp.
• While the bacon cooks, in a large bowl combine the ground chicken, garlic, onion, parsley, dill havarti chunks, poultry seasoning, the zest and juice of 1/2 lemon, salt, and pepper. Divide the mixture into 4 equal mounds, then form the meat into large, thin patties, about 1 inch thick. Drizzle them with vegetable oil to coat.
• Remove the crispy bacon from the skillet to a paper-towel-lined plate and reserve. Wipe the excess grease from the skillet and return it to the cooktop over medium-high heat, add the burgers to the skillet, and cook them for 5 to 6 minutes on each side, or until they are cooked through.
• While the burgers are cooking, put together the scallion "sticks." Heat 1 1/2 inches of the vegetable oil in a deep-sided skillet over medium heat. In a wide mixing bowl, combine the buttermilk, paprika, and the zest of the remaining 1 1/2 lemons. Place the flour in a second wide mixing bowl. Before you go at it, take one of the scallions and hold it up next to the skillet containing the heating oil. If needed, trim off some of the green tops to allow it to fit in the skillet easily.
• Line a plate with a few paper towels and set it near the stovetop. Add a 1-inch cube of bread to the hot oil. If it turns deep golden brown in color after a count of 40, the oil is ready. If the bread cube browns too quickly, turn down the heat and wait a few minutes for it to cool.
• Working in 2 to 3 batches, dip some of the scallions in the buttermilk, then into the flour, coating thoroughly. Put them back into the buttermilk and then into the flour again. Fry the coated scallions into the hot oil for about 1 minute on each side, or until golden brown. Transfer to the paper-towel-lined plate and immediately season them with a little salt. Repeat the process until all the scallion "sticks" are fried up.
• Toast the English muffins and slather both sides with the Ranch dressing. Arrange the cooked Ranch burgers on the English muffin bottoms, top each burger with 2 slices of the crispy bacon and 2 slices of tomato, and finish them with the English muffin tops. Serve them alongside the crispy scallion "sticks."

CRISPY RANCH CHICKEN CUTLETS

Steps:

• Thinly slice the radishes, cucumbers and carrots lengthwise using a mandoline or a very sharp knife. Place in a large bowl, sprinkle with salt and pepper and set aside.
• Zest and juice the lemon. Combine the zest, juice and shallot in a mason jar or other jar with a tightly fitting lid and add salt and pepper to taste. Give it a good mix, then add the olive oil. Screw on the lid and shake to combine. Set aside.
• Pat the chicken breasts dry. Using a sharp knife, slice each chicken breast in two horizontally so you have a total of 4 thin cutlets.
• Now it's time to make your dredging station. Get out three pie pans, shallow bowls or plates with deep sides. Place the flour and ranch seasoning in one pie plate and whisk to combine. Crack the eggs in the second bowl, add 2 tablespoons of water and whisk to combine. Place the panko in the final pie pan.
• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Working in an assembly line, place a chicken cutlet in the flour mixture and turn to coat both sides; tap off any excess. Place the cutlet in the egg wash and coat both sides. Finally, coat in breadcrumbs and place on the baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining cutlets.
• Heat the canola oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is shiny, add the chicken cutlets and cook until golden and cooked through, about 3 minutes per side. Place on a cooling rack to drain off any excess oil and keep the cutlets nice and crispy.
• Drain off any excess water from the veggies and pat them dry with a paper towel. Add 1 cup
• fresh parsley leaves and 1/2 cup dill leaves. Drizzle in the lemon dressing and toss to combine.
• Congrats, it's time to plate! Place each cutlet on a plate, top with veggies and enjoy!
