Buffalo Chicken
Cheesesteaks
These are super simple, extra tasty and make a very quick
meal. Serve with potato salad, chips or steamed vegetables.
Serves 4
Ingredients:
1 tablespoon canola oil
2 large chicken breast halves
1 large onion
1 tablespoon of olive oil
½ cup prepared hot sauce like Franks
5 or more drops of extra hot sauce, like Tabasco
¼ cup butter
1 pinch of dried basil leaves
8 slices of melting cheese, I use provolone slices from the
deli
4 medium hoagie buns
Procedure:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees
In a skillet on medium heat put canola oil. Allow to heat for a
about a minute.
Place chicken breasts in pan and allow to sear and brown on
first side (about 3 – 5 minutes). Once the breast is browned,
flip it over to brown the other side. The breasts will not be
cooked through at this time. Remove from pan and place
chicken on a plate. Remove the pan from the burner.
Cut onion in half from root to tip. Peel onion skin off. Slice
onion into ¼ in slices and place into pan.
Place olive oil in pan and turn heat back on medium low.
Cook onions until they are just lightly caramelized. (You can
do this step ahead of time and refrigerate the onions. Just
heat them back up in the pan before you use them).
While waiting for the onions to caramelize, place the ¼ cup of
butter, two hot sauces and basil into a small saucepan. Heat
to combine.
Cut the chicken into ½ chunks and add them (and the juices)
to the onions.
Sauté the chicken with the onions until the chicken is cooked

through and no longer pink in the middle (about 5 – 8
minutes)
Add the hot sauce to the chicken and onions. Stir to combine
and heat for about 30 seconds.
Slice the hoagies in half lengthwise, but not all the way
through. Place rolls on a sheet pan lined with foil or
parchment paper. Place chicken and onion mixture on the
sliced hoagie. Place two slices of cheese on top of each
sandwich. Place in oven and allow to bake until the cheese
is bubbly.
Fudge Brownies
Yeah, yeah, yeah ... I know. You can buy pretty good
brownies in a box and have instant gratification. I guarantee
you that the moment you try these you will never go back
to the box kind again. I use Dutch process cocoa and the
results are super fudgy and chocolaty. Perfect for a midnight
snack with a big glass of milk.
1/2 cups butter
3/4 cups cocoa
3 tbsp. oil
2 cups sugar
1 1/2 tsp vanilla
4 eggs
1 cup flour
1 cup nuts (I prefer walnuts lightly toasted), coarsely chopped
In a 2 to 3 quart pan, melt butter.
Add cocoa and oil and stir constantly.
Remove from heat and allow to cool.
Add eggs, one at a time beating each egg into chocolate
mixture.
Stir in sugar and vanilla. Add flour and fold into chocolate
mixture.
Fold in nuts.
Spread batter evenly in a greased 9 X 13” baking pan (it will
be thick and sticky).
Bake in 325° oven for 20 - 25 minutes or until brownies feel
dry on top.
Cool on rack and cut into squares. Keep in an airtight
container.
