CHICKEN VOILA

Steps:

• Place chicken in a bowl, and season with salt, pepper and garlic. Sprinkle the flour over the chicken pieces and toss to coat.
• Heat the oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Shake the excess flour off of the chicken, and reserve in the bowl. Place the chicken in the hot pan, and brown on all sides. Remove from the pan, and keep warm.
• Whisk some of the chicken broth into the flour in the bowl until smooth. Stir this into the drippings in the skillet, then stir in the remaining broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, and return the chicken pieces to the skillet. Simmer over medium heat until the chicken is cooked through, and the sauce has thickened. Taste, and season with additional salt and pepper if desired.

CHICK-FIL-A CHICKEN (AND NUGGETS) COPYCAT

Steps:

• Pound chicken breasts till they are thin enough for your taste. (I find a lot of breasts are really too thick for a sandwich so I pound out the thick part a little) Cut into chunks if you want nuggets.
• Place chicken in plastic bag with pickle juice and marinate for an hour (preferably overnight).
• Mix up eggs in seperate bowl for the egg wash.
• Mix flour and remaining spices in another shallow bowl.
• Remove chicken from the pickle juice maranade and drain well. Dip into the egg wash and then into the flour mixture.
• Fry the chicken however you prefer here. I pan fried mine in a few tablespoons of oil and it turned out fine. Chick-Fil-A deep fries theirs in a pressure cooker, so you can try that if you are feeling adventurous.

GARLIC CHICKEN - VOILA COPYCAT

Steps:

• Cook chicken breast (uncut) on skillet with enough water to keep it moist through the cooking time. Add garlic, paprika and a pinch of salt to the top. (I like mine with extra seasonings so add to taste.).
• Cover and let simmer about 5 minutes then repeat on other side.
• While the chicken is cooking, place pasta to cook and steam broccoli and carrots in the microwave for about 5 minutes.
• When the water steams away, add corn to the pan at low heat. You may dice the chicken at this step so it won't lose it's moisture.
• Add veggies and pasta to chicken and corn. Stir and add pepper to taste.
• Serve with a sprinkle of romano or parmesan cheese. (I used shredded italian blend from the store.).
