Steps:

• Combine chicken and taco seasoning mix in a heavy duty zip-top bag; toss to coat. Refrigerate for 1 - 2 hours or overnight.
• Place chicken in a broiler pan or in a 15 x 10 x 11 inch jellyroll pan.
• Broil coated chicken 6 inches from heat (with electric oven door partially open) for 5 - 6 minutes. Remove from oven and cool.
• Cut chicken into bite-size pieces.
• In a bowl, combine chicken, cheese, picante sauce, and red peppers; stirring well. Set aside.
• Brush 1 side of each tortilla with melted butter; place 2 tortillas, buttered side down, on a cookie sheet. Top each tortilla with about 1 cup of chicken mixture, spreading to edges of tortilla. Top each with a tortilla, buttered side up.
• Bake at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 10 minutes or until golden brown. Cut into wedges. Repeat with remaining tortillas and chicken mixture. Serve immediately.
• NOTE: If making these into burritos, mound chicken mixture 1/4 of the was down on tortilla's. Turn over short side of tortilla over chicken. Turn both right and left sides of tortilla about 1 inch inches Roll up cigar style, enveloping the chicken mixture tightly. Place on greased cookie sheet, seam-side down. Brush each burrito with melted butter. Bake until golden brown.
• Note # 2:If you can find Chi-Chi's taco seasoning mix, these will be To Die For. But unfortunately I can't find this seasoning anymore. They used to advertise right on the package that it didn't contain the "red stuff". I use other taco seasoning mixes, but none compare to the goodness that Chi-Chi's had. If you can find Chi-Chi's somewhere, use 2 pkg's because each pkg. was about 1 /2 - 3/4 ounces. If you do find it, let me know, because I'd love to know because I've been searching for a long time.

Steps:

• debone and deskin chicken and tear into shreds.
• saute mushrooms in olive oil for 5-7 minutes until cooked
• for burrito-place chicken, cheese and mushrooms on a tortilla and wrap up place in microwave on microwave safe plate for 1 to 1 1/2 minutes on high.
• for quesadilla- place a tortilla on a nonstick fry pan sprayed with a nonstick spray, sprinkle chicken, cheese and mushrooms over entire surface top with another tortilla. let cook until just brown over medium heat and carefully flip cook other side the same way.
• move quesadilla to a plate and cut into 4 triangle serving pieces.
• enjoy with sour cream and salsa or whatever you enjoy topping it with.

Steps:

• Cut chicken wings into 3 sections; discard wing tips. In a large plastic bag or shallow bowl, combine flour and salt. Add wings in small batches; toss to coat. (Place floured wings in refrigerator; this helps flour to adhere to chicken.) In an electric skillet or deep fat fryer, heat oil to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Fry wings, a few at a time, until juices run clear, about 8 - 10 minutes. Drain on paper towels. In a bowl, combine sugar, soy sauce, garlic scallions and jalepeno (optional). Dip fried wings in sauce. Serve immediately.
• NOTE: I normally double the sauce cause it's great and adds more flavor. For a crispy result and for a great end product, the temperature of the oil and fry time is essential. Therefore if you find that your wings aren't crispy enough when cooked for the 8 - 10 minutes, fry them up a little longer until they are crispy!

Steps:

• Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a skillet over medium heat; stir in onion. Cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
• Add chicken, chicken stock, and taco seasoning; bring to a simmer. Cook until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and drain, being careful to remove as much liquid as possible, while keeping onions and garlic. Transfer chicken mixture to a plate.
• Melt remaining butter in the same skillet over medium heat. Whisk eggs in a small bowl with salt and pepper. Pour into the skillet and add chicken mixture, diced tomatoes and chiles, and cilantro; scramble until eggs are set, about 5 minutes. Add an additional beaten egg, if desired. Remove from the heat and add 1/4 cup cheese, stirring until cheese is melted.
• Place 2 tortillas in a separate, large skillet over low heat. Sprinkle part of the remaining cheese on top and let melt. Spoon 1/2 of the chicken-egg mixture onto each tortilla, sprinkle with remaining cheese, and top with remaining tortillas. Flip carefully and cook on the other side for about 1 minute.
• Remove from the skillet and place each tortilla on a plate. Slice, garnish with sour cream, guacamole, and hot sauce, and serve.

Steps:

• With the smooth side of a meat mallet, pound chicken breasts between sheets of plastic wrap to a thickness of slightly over 1/4-inch.
• Cut each pounded breast in half in order to make regular size cutlets. If using large size chicken breasts, you may need to cut them into thirds.
• Place 4 fresh sage leaves on the under-side of each pounded chicken breast. Cover leaves with prosciutto (you may need to use more than one slice of prosciutto so as to fully cover breast). Pound very lightly with "toothy" side of meat mallet to help adhere sage leaves and prosciutto to breast (be careful not to tear through).
• Dredge chicken in flour and shake off excess, being careful not to dislodge prosciutto and sage. Place chicken on a large platter or cookie sheet. Place in refrigerator for 10 - 30 minutes (this will help flour to glue itself to chicken resulting in a better fry).
• Meanwhile, chop remaining sage leaves for a total of 1 T, set aside.
• Place a heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Once skillet is hot, add enough olive oil and heat through.
• Sauté chicken about 2 - 3 minutes per side or until golden and just cooked through. Remove chicken to a clean platter.
• Immediately top mozzarella on each cutlet while chicken is still hot. Sprinkle a few drops of freshly squeezed lemon juice on each cutlet. Cover immediately in order to help cheese melting process. (This works best if using a platter with a full coverage lid such as corning ware).
• Remove any excess olive oil in order to end up with at least 2 - 3 tablespoons oil remaining in skillet. Add marsala or port and white wine to hot skillet and let boil, scraping up browned bits, for 1 minute. Add stock to skillet and boil until reduced to 3/4 cup. Add chopped sage. Simmer 1 minute. Adjust seasoning with black pepper and salt if necessary (salt may not be needed depending on saltiness of chicken stock and prosciutto). Pour sauce carefully to the side edge of platter, being careful not to pour quickly over chicken so as to keep mozzarella in tact.
• NOTE: Most of the time I double and even triple the sauce.
• Fresh sage in this dish is a Must, the dry will not be the same and will result in something different.

Steps:

• cube chicken in to medium sized pieces. slice jalapeno in to thin rings. Place skillet over medium heat, add olive oil to pan. place chicken and jalapeno to the pan. stir fry chicken for about 10-12 minutes or until. Be sure to constantly stir chicken to keep it from burning. While chicken in frying cut bell pepper in to thin strips then in half add to pan. squeeze lime juice in to pan with cajun seasoning and salt and pepper. once chicken is almost fully cooked turn heat down to simmer. at this time shred habanero cheese over the chicken. at this time place medium skillet over low heat and place one tortilla with pepper jack cheese slices on top of it in the pan, let melt. Remove chicken from heat. Then place healthy serving of chicken filling on tortilla shell and place another slice of cheese and then another tortilla. use spatula to press on Quesadillas to slightly flatten them. repeat with three more and your meal is ready to eat.
• If this is your first time cooking these you may want to use to spatulas to lift them out of the pan. it will make it much easier.
• This can be served with refried beans as a side dish.
