OK I may be rushing summer a little with this salad recipe, but I am getting cabin fever pretty bad these days. You can cook the chicken for this one of two ways, out on the grill or under your oven's broiler. Either way this is a great salad for any time of the year.

Lemon Pepper Chicken

Chef Thom — Wed, 12 Mar 2008 01:48:19 +0000

This is probably one of the easiest recipes I ever posted. In fact it is so easy I almost didn't post it at all. But not only is it easy and quick to make, it tastes really, really, good. It only has three ingredients and takes less time to prepare and cook then it has taken to write and post the recipe. I like to serve it with a side of wild rice and carrots for a vegetable.

Chinese Cleaver

Chef Thom — Wed, 05 Mar 2008 22:48:20 +0000

I have been using a Chinese Cleaver or Chef's Knife for over 20 years. I use it almost exclusively for food prep from chopping or slicing vegetables to crushing garlic and pounding chicken breast's for Chicken Parm. It also makes a great spatula for carrying ingredients to the pot or pan. To me it is the most versatile tool I have in the kitchen and I would be lost without it.
