Cajun Chicken Sandwiches

Greasy Doom Biscuits, it's getting cold out there. Doom can barely stand to observe Latveria's populace practice their annual Chinese New Year parade routines in the rising snowbanks. The wailing, the pleads for shelter and warmth -- it gets old, people. Doom cannot abide repetition on such a scale.

It's in that same mindset (brilliant, piercing, correct) that Doom suggests we move away from the usual baked dishes and fried entrees. Let us explore a new dish as we huddle for warmth in this brutal winter and bolster each other with our common humanity.

HA!

Doom actually is still shoveling out from under all these party leftovers. That means the massive freezer must be emptied to accommodate these pies and cakes. Doom can scarcely toss them out, you understand, even with your paltry brains. Doom may as well give them to those rehearsing peasants.

HA!

Oh, Doom is on a roll today. Doom still has it.Walk with Doom to the pantry. Take in Doom's glory once more as Doom concocts a meal to fend off this chill.

Cajun Chicken Sandwiches
1 pound boneless chicken fillets (or pork or fish)
1/4 cup Thousand Island dressing
Tabasco sauce/hot sauce
1 red pepper
1/2 cup grated Monterey Jack cheese
four hamburger buns
olive oil
Cajun Seasoning (equal parts onion powder, garlic powder, black pepper, ground cayenne pepper, & paprika)

Doom commands you to:

+ Combine seasoning ingredients in a saucer or bowl and set aside.

+ Combine dressing and several dashes of hot sauce to taste. It will take quite a bit of sauce to add kick to that much dressing, but you'll use it all as a sandwich spread.

+ Place meat pieces in Ziplock bag(s) and flatten with a meat tenderizer/mallet to about 1/2 inch thickness.

+ Brush oil on meat and sprinkle cajun seasoning liberally on both sides of meat.

+ Broil or grill chicken for roughly 12 minutes, turning once.

+ Cut pepper into slim strips. 

+ Toast buns (and spread with butter if preferred). Spread hot dressing mix onto bun tops and bottoms.

+ Assemble sandwiches with meat, pepper, and cheese. Add tomato, lettuce, or other topping to taste.

+ Devour and wonder why you made so few.

Turkey Stir Fry with Oranges

The new year is upon us, peasants. Doom prefers to say "twenty-twelve." The Accursed Richards says "two thousand-twelve" to convince people he can count that high. Doom knows otherwise. Richards can't count the number of people he sees in the mirror.

Doom's pantry is piled to the hinges with leftovers. Holiday parties, both here at Chez Doom and at the houses of other/wannabe world conquerors, result in food stuffs that could sate the populace of Latveria five times over. Doom's magnificent eyes have never beheld this many sausage balls, for instance. Mayhap these have supplanted the jello salad of past holiday soirees.

Doom is especially burdened with turkey meat, such as that culled from the carcass before the bones are used to make stock. This meat will of course be used for Doom's favorite leftover snack: Tomato and Turkey Rolls (Quick recipe: Place tomato slice and leftover turkey meat in a dinner roll. Lightly salt. Consume. Repeat 14 times.)

But this leftover bounty has ruined Doom's plans for the turkey Doom earlier stored in the freezer. So much baked turkey, while delicious, now seems horrid. Doom is displeased. But Doom as ever knows how to turn this to an advantage.

Turkey Stir Fry with Oranges
1/3 cup soy sauce
1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon chili oil
1 tablespoon grated ginger
1 pound of turkey meat (breast/tenderloin) sliced into medallions
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/2 cup sliced green onion shoots
1 cup dry rice, cooked as directed on package
1 peeled, sliced navel orange

Doom commands you to do the following:

+ Combine sugar, soy sauce, ginger, and chili oil in a bowl. Doom uses peri-peri oil delivered by a loyal minion after a visit to Swaziland. Doom hears you snickering in skepticism. Then behold:

Doom don't lie. Doom only testifies. Tabasco sauce will work too.

+ Dredge turkey in the oil and flour (in a separate dish).

+ Warm cooking oil in a medium-hot pan. Fry turkey for roughly eight minutes, turning once to brown both sides.

+ Prepare the rice.

+ Place turkey on bed of rice and sprinkle with onion shoots and orange slices (navels are seedless, making preparation easier).

The dish shall resemble this:

Doom commands you to savor.
