Chickamauga Chicken

Chickamauga is the name of a tribe of Native Americans, a creek, a city, and a Civil War battle that occurred near Chattanooga, TN. I'd love to tell you a fascinating story that explains how this recipe comes from any of those. But to be honest, my son Trevor named this dish in March 2007 when we first made it. He just liked the sound of it and it stuck.

Ingredients


Preparation

Cut a tortilla in half and place halves on top of each other. Then slice into 1/4" slices sideways into strips (your final pieces should be 1/4" thick by 2-3"). Heat vegetable oil over medium high heat in a skillet so that the oil is about 1/4" deep. Fry the tortilla pieces in batches until all are golden brown. Set aside on a paper towel on a plate. Season each batch with a little salt. I like to use a mix of blue and yellow tortillas if possible.

Mix the "mauga sauce" by combining ranch dressing & bbq sauce together and set aside.

You can do this on the grill or indoors.

Live Fire/Grill Instructions:

Grill over DIRECT heat for 4-5 minutes per side over a medium hot grill (350f). Top with cooked tortilla strips, green onion, black olives, and cheese. Place back in cooker at 350-400f over INDIRECT heat for 10-15 minutes until breasts hit 160f internal temp.

Range Top Instructions:

Dredge in flour. Saute about 4-5 minutes per side in 1.5 tablespoons of butter and 1.5 tablespoons of olive oil until golden brown. You want the chicken to be cooked through and ready to eat at this point. Top with cooked tortilla strips, green onion, black olives, and cheese. Place under broiler for about a minute until cheese melts.

Drizzle with the 'Mauga Sauce (bbq sauce/ranch) and serve.
