Chicken Fingers with Garlic Butter
Yield: 4 servings
Excepted from: Cooking with the 60-Minute Gourmet: 300 Rediscovered Recipes from Pierre Franey's Classic New York Times Column
Over the years, I have probably devised more chicken breast recipes than anything else. And the demand never ends. Chicken breast is one of the most appealing foods in the supermarket because it is ready to cook, versatile, low in fat and high in protein. But if one falls into a rut by simply broiling or baking chicken breasts, dinner can be mighty boring.
This recipe for chicken fingers with garlic butter is simple yet tasty. And you can vary the seasonings in countless ways.
Ingredients:
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano or 2 teaspoons dried
2 tablespoons flour
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 ripe plum tomatoes, skinned, seeded, and diced small
1 tablespoon chopped garlic
4 tablespoons chopped fresh coriander or basil
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
Directions:
1. Using a sharp knife, cut the breast halves in half crosswise, then lengthwise into strips 1/2 inch wide.(Continued on next page)
2. Thoroughly blend salt, pepper, oregano, and flour in a flat dish. Add the chicken pieces in one layer. Stir to season, keeping each strip separate.
3. Heat the butter and oil over high heat in a skillet large enough to hold the chicken pieces in one layer. Add the chicken, cook and stir until lightly browned, about 3 minutes. Add the tomatoes and garlic and cook, stirring, for 3 minutes more. Add the coriander and lime juice and continue cooking. Blend well and serve immediately.
tip: To get the most juice out of a lime or lemon, roll it on a countertop while pressing down. Another method is to pop it in the microwave for 30 seconds, just to warm it.

Guacamole with Tomatillos (Guacamole de Tomate Verde)
Yield: about 2 cups.
Excerpted from: Authentic Mexican 20th Anniversary Ed: Regional Cooking from the Heart of Mexico
by Rick BaylessIngredients:
8 ounces (5 or 6 medium) fresh tomatillos, huskedand washed drained or one 13-ounce can tomatillos, drained
Fresh hot green chiles to taste (roughly 2 chiles serranos or 1 chile jalapeno), stemmed, seeded and roughly chopped
4 sprigs fresh coriander (cilantro), roughly chopped
1/2 small onion, roughly chopped
1 ripe, medium-large avocado
Salt, about 1/2 teaspoon
Directions:
1. The tomatillos. Boil the fresh tomatillos in salted water to cover until just soft through, about 10 minutes; drain and place in a blender jar or food processor. Canned tomatillos need only be drained and put in the blender or food processor.
2. The puree. Add the chile, coriander and onion to the tomatillos (and stir, if using a blender). Blend or process to a coarse puree.
3. The avocado. Halve the avocado lengthwise by cutting from stem to flower ends around the pit. Twist the halves apart, then scoop out the pit and reserve it. Scrape the avocado pulp from the skin and place in a mixing bowl.
4. Finishing the sauce. Mash the avocado until smooth, using a fork or your hand. Scrape in the tomatillo puree and mix well. Season with salt, return the pit to the sauce and cover well. Let stand a few minutes to blend the flavors, then serve.
