Sizzlin Skillet Baked Chicken Food

SIZZLING CHICKEN AND CHEESE (TGI FRIDAY'S COPYCAT)

Steps:

• Heat a large oven-safe skillet over high heat. Sear the bell peppers and onion in 1 tsp of oil for 3 minutes or until charred-looking. Add 2 TBSP of Italian dressing and stir to coat. Remove and set aside.
• Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and paprika on both sides. Add 2 tbsp of oil into the same skillet and sear the chicken breasts for 2 minutes on each side. Remove and set aside.
• Pour 1 cup of Italian dressing into the same skillet (still over high heat) and deglaze the pan for 1 minute. Remove from heat and pour dressing aside.
• Lightly grease the pan with 1 1/2 tsp of oil. Sprinkle 1/2 cup of cheese onto the bottom and spread 4 cups of mashed potatoes over the cheese. Sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 cup of cheese. Layer the chicken breasts a top and pour over the dressing. Garnish with bell peppers and onion.
• Bake at 400° F for 20-30 minutes or until sizzling hot.

SUNNY'S QUICK SIZZLIN CHICKEN FAJITAS

Steps:

• For the chicken: In a large resealable plastic bag, add the chicken, olive oil, lime juice, chile powder, cumin, onion powder, garlic powder, salt and a few grinds of black pepper. Seal, squish around a bit to mix and leave at room temperature for 15 minutes.
• For the veggies: In a large bowl, combine the peppers and onions blend and lime zest. Season with salt and pepper, toss together and set aside.
• On a large, seasoned cast-iron griddle on medium-high heat, add the chicken right from the marinade and spread it out so it doesn't steam; you may have to cook it in batches. Cook until the chicken is light golden and cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes. Once a batch is finished, try to pile it on a cool area of the griddle until you finish the rest or pile in a bowl. Once done with the chicken, cook the veggies the same way.
• Pile the chicken and veggies back onto the griddle and gently spritz and sprinkle just enough beer to allow the griddle to steam a bit while tossing the chicken and veggies together just to warm through. Drink the rest of the beer. Serve with the fixins: tortillas, avocado, lime wedges, cilantro, salsa, chopped tomatoes and shredded cheese.

SIZZLING CHICKEN PLATTER

Steps:

• Lay the chicken in a shallow dish. Whisk up the chilli paste or harissa, oil, lemon juice and a little salt in a small bowl. Pour over the chicken and rub in to coat each piece.
• To make the dressing, halve, seed and dice the tomatoes. Mix in a bowl with the chilli paste, lemon juice, oil and a little salt. Set aside.
• Heat a griddle pan or start the barbecue, then cook the chicken for 6-8 minutes on each side until cooked through. Remove and wrap in foil to keep it warm.
• Separate the lettuces and spread the leaves over a serving platter. Slice the cucumber and radishes and scatter over the lettuce.
• Cut the chicken into strips and toss with half the dressing in a large bowl. Tip on to the salad and scatter with the pine nuts and mint leaves. Drizzle over the remaining dressing and serve warm.
