Big Easy Chicken Sandwiches

1/2 cup no-stick grilling marinade for poultry (page xxx)

2 tsp poultry seasoning

2 Tbl unsalted butter

3 cups sliced mushrooms

1 tsp salt

1 tsp fresh ground black pepper

1 recipe caramelized onions, hot (page xxx)

10-12 fresh tomato slices

6 Hamburger Buns

1/4 cup Unsalted Butter, melted

Instructions

Using a pastry brush, coat the chicken breast with the marinade. Refrigerate for 30 minutes. Sprinkle the breast with the poultry seasoning. Grill the chicken on direct high heat for 10-12 minutes, turning once during the grilling process.

While chicken is cooking: Heat butter in a medium sauté pan over high heat. Add mushrooms, salt, and pepper and sauté 6-7 minutes, stirring occasionally. Drain excess liquid.

Once the chicken has finished grilling, leave on the grill and rop each chicken breast with one slice of each of the cheeses. Divide onions and mushrooms evenly among the chicken breasts and place atop the cheese. Close the grill lid and cook until the cheese has melted.

Brush the hamburger buns with melted butted and toast on the grill over medium direct heat for 2-3 minutes.

Place the chicken on the hamburger buns, top with the fresh tomato slices and serve.

Honey Bundt Cake

This bundt cake brings back memories of family gatherings on Bellewood Drive where sweets were as much a part of the celebration as the presents under the tree. The warm notes of cinnamon and honey make it a natural fit for holiday mornings or as the perfect finish to a Christmas feast. The pomegranate glaze adds a bright, tart finish that keeps things interesting. Make sure to grease every nook and cranny of your bundt pan thoroughly. Use butter and dust with flour for a clean release. Also, letting the cake cool for a solid twenty minutes before flipping is key to avoiding a sticky mess.
