Chicken Eugene
Yield 4 portions
3 heaping tablespoons (all
purpose) flour
1 pinch of each and 1 packet of PGAS
4 each (store brand) boneless breast of chicken
6 oz (store brand of) vegetable oil
1 cup of chicken broth (collagen)
1/2 cup of each mixed flour & water
8 slices sliced honey ham
8 slices sliced Swiss cheese
3 oz (any brand of) sherry wine
1 cup (thickener) flour & water
***********************************************************************
I)
Place the fresh chicken cutlets onto a cutting board, and using a meat
tenderizer (looks like a big fat hammer with divots in it) begin banging out
the chicken gently until the chicken takes on the same degree of thickness from
one end to the other. Next, cut each breast into 3 triangles of meat. Then pour
the flour onto a plate, add the PGAS (a pinch of black pepper, garlic powder, adobo, and a sazon packet), and
mix the raw chicken breast around in the seasoned flour until it is blended
well.
2)
Fry up the chicken in the vegetable oil, and then place it aside. How you will
know that the chicken is fully cooked: take a paring knife (the little knife
that mom uses to peel potatoes), cut the meat (all the way to the center) and
look at it. Make sure that the meat is not pink or bloody (it should be all
white). Then pour the grease from the saute pan into
a can and discard it later (after it cools)
3)
Place the cooked chicken breast into a clean saute
pan, then add the chicken broth and bring to a low boil.
4)
In a coffee mug, using a fork, beat the flour and
water mixture together. It should have the consistency of cream soup. Slowly
add the flour and water mixture to the saute pan and
allow it to thicken up (when thickening, only pour 1/2 oz at a time and then
wait for results). It will not thicken unless it is very hot and simmering.
5)
Add the wine, and then place the slices of ham & cheese on top of the
chicken and simmer until the cheese melts. Then serve.

He became a teacher in a juvenile correctional facility in 1993 and has been there ever since. William A Tribelli has one brother and three sisters. He was born in December of 1955 into a family of teachers. He states that, if this book becomes a success, he intends to write Jailhouse Cooking II", another cook book, where he expects to, as Emeril would say, "step it up a notch." He plans next to co-write TIPS, a book about some very colorful "front of the house" employees that work in a very well-known restaurant. What is important is that they are men! Adult men! Mature fully-grown and professional men! Beer drinking, whiskey sucking, gambling, sex-starved, flatulating, swindling, degenerate pirates who sail around the dining room cursing and plotting on how to maximize their profits (the almighty tip). What these men will do to ensure proper service is hilarious. It's gross, it's indecent, and yet it's suave. However, a critically important point is that these front-of-the housemen are very responsible, caring, and loving fathers and husbands. However, the very moment that these fine men put that uniform on, a very powerful occult-like transformation begins. Those black patches begin to hover over their eyes. They draw their swords out and they enter the field of battle. Once they enter the dining room, or a better name for it might be the coliseum, where these gladiators begin to compete in their fight to the finish. And what are they competing for?
THE TIPS.
