When I was a little boy I would spend a lot of time with my Grandma, summer vacations, weekends, and any time my mom needed a sitter. Gram spent most of her time traveling the world, that is, when she wasn't teaching nursing at William Paterson. When I would stay with her she would always have fun things to do, I was always Grandma's lil helper in the kitchen. She would let me help her with whatever she was making (I loved to use the old fashion can opener that was attached to the back door the kind you would sitck the can in and crank the handle). We would make cakes, bread, sause and all sorts of things, but my favorite dish that Grandma would make is one I'll never forget. Mostly because I've noticed that it hasn't just been a favorite dish of mine, but the reaction I get from people everytime makes me feel great, especially because I know my Grandma taught me well. Since I have made this dish for many of you I've been getting alot of requests on how to.... Well since its not really a big family secret I would love to share it with you and I'm sure Gram won't mind.
Thin sliced chicken is good to use...
in pan add oil and start to heat with some thinly sliced garlic
flower chicken on both sides
beat up some eggs and dip flowered chicken in egg and fry in pan
you want to get the chicken lightly golden on both sides
when chicken is golden remove from pan and set aside
then add some butter to the pan
then add some Real Lemon juice (comes in a bottle)
heres where you can get creative
add white wine, mushrooms and or onions
let that simmer for about three minutes (lower heat)
then add chicken back to pan and top off with freshly sliced lemons (for the look)
give the chicken a few minutes on each side to soke up the juice
after that remove chicken to serving dish drizzle whatever is left in the pan on top
and your set.....
ENJOY
From me and my Gram..... (Thanks Gram they love it!!)

Hello Ricky?! Are you home? What did you do with Ricky? Who wrote this? Pretty funny - you went from the DUI allowing court issue to T&A to dirty/nasty rap lyrics to good ole cookin recipes. Can somebody tell me which blog doesn't belong? LOL As for the chicken dish, it's a pretty tasty dish thanks to your gram but I think it's time to break the cookbook out and try something new Chicken Little! ha Whatcha havin for dinner tonight - oh wait - lemme guess - CHICKEN???! I think there's a book called Chicken 101. Think you're up to the challenge? Maybe I'll pick that up for ya.
