Our last Supernatural Cookbook dinner is another healthy one. In season 7, episode 9, which we watched the other night, while it Biggerson's, when Dean gets his Pepperjack Turducken slammer, Bobby isn't impressed. "Bunch of birds shoved up inside each other, " he says. "Shouldn't play God like that." "Hey, don't look at me sideways from that Chinese Chicken Geezer Salad over there, OK? This is awesome," Dean says. "like the perfect storm of your top three edible birds."
Since we already watched the episode the salad is from I decided to also make the Biggerson's Garlic Knots to go with the salad, this way we can watch a different episode.
In season 3, episode 3, Bad Day at Black Rock, Dean thinks it's his lucky day when he's named the one millionth customer at Biggerson's family restaurant. But, as usual, things aren't always what they may seem. His prize which he never actually gets to collect, is free food for a year, including all the garlic knots he can eat.
This is another one of those "lighter, funnier" episodes of Supernatural and is the episode where Sam famously loses his shoe.
2 raw boneless chicken breasts, cut into bite-size pieces
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon sesame oil
Salt and pepper
4 cups mixed greens
1 cup Mandarin pieces, fresh or canned and drained
1 cup shredded red cabbage
1 cup shredded carrots
1 cup cooked, shelled edamame
4 scallions, sliced, both green and white parts
1/2 cup sliced almonds for topping
1 cup chow mein noodles for topping
DIRECTIONS
1. To make the dressing: Wish ingredients together in a glass bowl, seasoning with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.
2. To make the salad: heat the oil in a medium skillet over medium heat, and add the chicken breast pieces, soy sauce, and salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is completely cooked through, about 8 minutes, adding the sesame oil toward the very end. Remove from the heat and set aside.
3. In a large bowl, combine the greens, Mandarin pieces, cabbage, carrots, edamame, and scallions. Toss with the salad dressing, and divide evenly among four bowls. Add the chicken to each salad, and top with almonds and chow mein noodles.
1. Preheat the oven to 400°F and spray a baking sheet with cooking spray.
2. Combine the garlic, butter, parsley, and salt in a small bowl.
3. Roll out pizza dough into a uniform rectangle. Using a pizza cutter, slice the dough into 12 or 14 even strips that are approximately 5 inches long and 1 inch thick. Brush with half the garlic mixture. Form the individual dough pieces into knots.
4. Space out the knots on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 10 minutes.
5. Remove the knots from the oven, and brush with the remaining garlic mixture. Bake another 6 to 8 minutes, until garlic knots are golden brown.
This has been a fun week trying these recipes and revisiting some of our favorite Supernatural episodes. The final 7 episodes begin airing on The CW on October 8 and Bug-a-Boo and I can't wait. Once it is over though we will be #SuperNotOkay but I guess we'll just have to start watching again from the beginning.
