Chicken Club Wrap

Ingredients
1 large zip-top bag
2 (8-ounce) frozen boneless, skinless chicken breasts, thawed
1/2 cup ranch salad dressing, divided
1 tablespoon roasted garlic
cooking spray
8 slices fully cooked bacon
4 (10-inch) flour tortillas
1/2 cup shredded Cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese
1/2 cup shredded lettuce
1/2 cup pre-diced fresh tomatoes




Steps
1. Preheat 2-sided tabletop grill. Combine, in zip-top bag, chicken, 1/4 cup dressing and garlic. Wash hands. Seal bag and knead to coat chicken. Let sit 10 minutes to marinate.
2. Coat both sides of grill with cooking spray; use tongs to add chicken. Close lid and grill 3-4 minutes. (Or 6-8 minutes, turning once, on regular grill.) Place bacon on top of cutlets; grill 1-2 more minutes to heat.
3. Set bacon aside. Cut chicken into strips. Fill center of each tortilla with cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, chicken and bacon. Top with remaining dressing. Fold bottom of tortillas up about 1 inch and then roll up. Serve.
Note: Make this in less than ten minutes by using pre-cooked chicken strips. No marinating, cooking or slicing needed!

Chicken Confetti Spaghetti With Southern Green Beans

Ingredients
8 ounces spaghetti pasta
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
12 ounces cooked, diced chicken
1 (4-ounce) jar diced pimentos (drained)
8 ounces trinity mix (fresh diced onions, bell peppers, celery)
1 (10.5-ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1 (14-ounce) can reduced-sodium chicken broth
1 1/4 cups shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
1 cup panko (Japanese bread crumbs)


Steps

Preheat oven to 425°F. Fill large saucepan half full of water. Cover and bring to a boil on high for pasta. Break pasta into 2-inch-long pieces and stir into boiling water; boil 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until partially tender.
Meanwhile, cut butter into small pieces while placing in medium bowl; set aside to soften. Combine in microwave-safe bowl: chicken, pimentos, trinity mix, soup, salt, pepper, and broth until well blended. Cover and microwave on HIGH 2–3 minutes or until mixture is hot and vegetables begin to soften.
Drain pasta and stir into vegetable mixture. Transfer mixture evenly into 2-quart baking dish. Stir cheese and bread crumbs into butter. Mix with fingertips until blended and crumbly; spread evenly over chicken mixture. Bake 15–20 minutes or until golden and bubbly around edges. Let stand 5 minutes before serving. (Makes 6 servings.)

Grilled Florentine Beef Steak

2 T-bone steaks, 1 1/2 inches thick (about 4 pounds in all)
1 tablespoon(s) olive oil
2 teaspoon(s) salt
1/2 teaspoon(s) fresh-ground black pepper
Lemon wedges, for serving



Directions

Light the grill. Rub the steaks with the oil and sprinkle with the salt and pepper.
Grill the steaks over high heat for 6 minutes. Turn and cook until done to your taste, about 6 minutes longer for rare. Serve with lemon wedges.
Notes:
Steak Choice: If you like, use porterhouse steaks instead of T-bones. Both of these bone-in steaks come from the short loin section of the animal. The bone separates the steak into strip loin and tenderloin sections. The strip loin has more flavor and the tenderloin is tenderer. Porterhouse steaks have more tenderloin and T-bones have a larger strip loin section. Choose according to your preference.
Wine Recommendation: There's nothing like a great steak to showcase a special, and if possible older, Barolo or Barbaresco. Made from the nebbiolo grape, these wines develop fabulously complex dried cherry, eucalyptus, floral and truffle flavors along with a silky texture. Both have power to spare, but Barbaresco is more elegant.
