Here is a secret here that many already know. The secret is to grill skinless boneless chicken breasts well is thinner uniform pieces.

That is not what you get at your local supermarket. Those suckers can be huge and thick. You can’t cook it well, and it won’t do in a sandwich.

Pro Tips: Recipe Notes for Grilled Chicken Sandwiches

What Chicken To Use

These are just a weekend family chicken sandwich recipe. I use skinless boneless chicken breasts but skinless boneless thighs would work, also. If you use thighs, cook to an internal temperature of 180.

Of course, trimmed and patted dry. See Chicken: To Rinse or Not To Rinse? for a detailed discussion about not rinsing.

The size will determine what you do with them.

  • If about 8 ounces, then a little flatten with a meat mallet is enough, just even out the thickness some.
  • If bigger, the filet into cutlets as I show below. They will be a little thinner and cook faster.

The Grill Setup

The grill surface temperature needs to be about 450 give or take a little. That is about medium or a bit more on most gas grills. See A Beginners Guide to Grill Temperature on a Gas Grill if you need help with this.

A little under is ok, but a lot over is not and will make hockey pucks.

The Seasoning to Use

Just salt and pepper is fine if that is what you want. I usually use my All Purpose Seasoning: 7:2:1 and 7:2:2. Sometimes I use Homemade Blackened Seasoning (see picture above.) Or use the seasoning your family enjoys.

Should I Brine the Chicken Breasts?

While it is always good to brine chicken for moisture, this is a quick recipes and I don’t bother. If you do, then do not add more salt during the seasoning.

Bacon-Wrapped Cranberry Walnut Pork – Fancy, Not Fancy by Gordon Ramsay

Bacon-Wrapped Cranberry Walnut Pork – Fancy, Not Fancy


It’s getting close to that time of the year when we spoil
our guests by making them extra-fancy, labor-intensive, time-consuming meals.
Or, we can make them something like this bacon-wrapped cranberry walnut pork
tenderloin instead, which just seems like it would be all those things. Yes,
the hardest thing about this gorgeous recipe is not spilling the beans about
just how simple it was to do.

This is really more of a technique video, than a specific
recipe, since you can fill it with whatever strikes your fancy, but as far as
seasonally appropriate ingredients go, I loved how this came out. Beyond being
able to adapt this to your tastes, another advantage is that we can prep it
ahead of time, and just pop it into the oven when we’re ready to rock, and by
“rock,” I mean impress our guests.  

One thing to be aware of is that pork tenderloins do vary a
bit in size. The one shown here was on the smaller side, and weighed in at just
about one pound. They’re generally closer to 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 pounds, and if
that’s the case for yours, be sure to add a little more roasting time, and
double check things with a thermometer.

Also, if you’re going to be doing more than one, make sure
you’re buying tenderloins that are all about the same weight. The butcher will
be more than happy to weigh a few, and get you what you need. Other than that,
not much can go wrong, except of course, after a few glasses of wine you admit
how simple and easy this really was. Either way, I really do hope you give this
a try soon. Enjoy!

Ingredients for 2 large or 4 smaller portions:

1 trimmed pork tenderloin (1 to 1 1/2 pounds)

salt, freshly ground black pepper, and cayenne to taste

2 teaspoons Dijon mustard

1 or 2 teaspoons freshly minced rosemary

 1 or 2 teaspoons
finely sliced fresh sage leaves

1 tablespoon bread crumbs, or enough to lightly coat surface

1/4 cup chopped, lightly toasted walnuts, or as much as you
like

1/4 cup chopped dried cranberries, or as much as you like

4 strips thinly sliced bacon, or enough to wrap the pork

– Roast at 450 F. for 25-30 minutes or until the bacon is
browned, and you’ve reached an internal temp of at least 145 F.

For the pan sauce:

2/3 cup white wine

2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

2 teaspoon Dijon mustard

2 tablespoons cold butter

salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Genesis 41-42 Deep Diving Bible Study by Gordon Ramsay

Genesis 35-37 Deep Diving Bible Study


 

Good Monday Morning, Siblings!
Today’s readings are Genesis 41-42

Rabbit Trails
🌿As you are reading today, keep in mind what we’ve talked about: As the reader you are sometimes privy to more information than the primary figures in our story have.

🌿We have no record of contact between Joseph, his father, or his brothers during the time in which Joseph was sold and rose to power in Egypt.

🌿We are given insight into Joseph’s state of mind towards his family in the naming of his two sons.
Manessah means “to cause to forget” and Joseph says he named him that because “YHWH has made me forget all my hardship and all my father’s house.”
Ephraim means “fruitful” and Joseph stated: “For YHWH has made me fruitful in the land of my affliction.”

I often wonder if Joseph spent a great deal of time wondering why his father did not come looking for him and how that must have hurt. Through these names we can see the pain of betrayal, rejection, and making peace with a new plan that the Lord had for his life.

🌿Wise in the World’s Eyes
Pharaoh had many wise men who could not interpret his dream. These would have been scholars, intellectual types, the wisest of the wise as far as everyone was concerned.
And yet, YHWH’s ways were beyond their vision and understanding. Even so, Joseph clearly states that he is not the one who offers interpretations, but YHWH, and from that source wisdom flows to the pharaoh. 

🌿Note that YHWH offered sufficient warning, as is His way, before disaster befell Egypt. The people had clear signs and instructions on how to prepare. However, in preparing they would have had to put back grain during a time of plenty. Perhaps, in their own wisdom, this would have been a time of celebrating and enjoying their abundance, but in heeding God’s wisdom they had to remain steadfast and prepare instead.

  • If we were in their place, with warnings and signs that a time of tribulation was coming and that we should prepare, but found ourselves in a time of plenty in many ways, would we heed the warnings found within YHWH’s word?
  • Would we turn to YHWH or would we simply turn to our own wise men?

We can answer that question by seeing how we are responding at this very point in time.

One of the best things we can be doing right now is read His Word, firsthand, for ourselves.

Prophetic Dream Refresher: Genesis  37:5-11 again 5 Now Joseph had a dream, and when he told it to his brothers they hated him even more. 6 He said to them, “Hear this dream that I have dreamed: 7 Behold, we were binding sheaves in the field, and behold, my sheaf arose and stood upright. And behold, your sheaves gathered around it and bowed down to my sheaf.” 8 His brothers said to him, “Are you indeed to reign over us? Or are you indeed to rule over us?” So they hated him even more for his dreams and for his words.

9 Then he dreamed another dream and told it to his brothers and said, “Behold, I have dreamed another dream. Behold, the sun, the moon, and eleven stars were bowing down to me.” 10 But when he told it to his father and to his brothers, his father rebuked him and said to him, “What is this dream that you have dreamed? Shall I and your mother and your brothers indeed come to bow ourselves to the ground before you?” 11 And his brothers were jealous of him, but his father kept the saying in mind.

Now let’s read a passage from today Genesis 42:6: 6 Now Joseph was governor over the land. He was the one who sold to all the people of the land. And Joseph’s brothers came and bowed themselves before him with their faces to the ground.

The word of YHWH ALWAYS Proves True! 

I’m so grateful to be on this journey with you! May He bless our readings with revelation of His will and wisdom in our lives.
Test everything, hold tight to what is good – and HE is the only source of good.

May YHWH Bless the reading of His word!
