CREAMY, CHEESY RISOTTO

Steps:

• Warm chicken broth either on stove or in microwave.
• In a 2 quart saucepan or large skillet (non stick works well) heat butter and olive oil over medium heat. Add shallots and saute for 1-2 minutes until softened.
• Raise heat to medium high, add rice and salt, stirring constantly for 2 minutes, until rice just begins to turn slightly golden in color.
• Add wine and stir until almost completely evaporated.
• Begin adding chicken broth, about 1/2 cup at a time.
• After each 1/2 cup addition of broth, stir frequently, until broth is almost evaporated and add the next 1/2 cup.
• Do the same for each addition of broth, stirring frequently.
• Begin tasting the rice for doneness during the last two additions of broth for tenderness--it should be al dente-tender with a slight bite to it.
• If rice is not done after the last addition, continue cooking as above adding additional 1/2 cups of broth until done. The entire process should take about 20 minutes.
• Remove from heat and stir in cheese, cayenne and pecans or pine nuts. You can also add the additional teaspoon of butter if you want it extra rich at this point.
• Adjust the salt if needed, remembering that there is a lot of salt in cheese and possibly in the type of broth you use.
• Serve hot.

CHEESY CHICKEN STRIPS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400°. Spray jelly roll pan, 15 1/2x10 1/2x1 inch, with cooking spray.
• Cut chicken lengthwise into 1/2-inch strips. Mix crushed crackers and cheese in large resealable plastic bag. Beat egg in large bowl; add chicken strips to egg and toss to coat. Remove chicken from egg, allowing excess to drip off; place chicken in bag of cracker mixture. Seal bag and shake to coat evenly with cracker mixture. Place chicken strips in single layer in pan.
• Bake uncovered 10 to 12 minutes or until no longer pink in center. Serve with barbecue sauce.
