CAST IRON SHEET PAN RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450°F. 
• Pat chicken breasts dry with a paper towel
• Combine 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder. Mix well. Gently lift skin from the chicken breasts and sprinkle half the season mixture onto each breast under the skin. This will get the seasoning directly on the chicken meat. Put the skin back in place.
• Heat a 10" oven safe cast iron skillet over mid-high heat and melt 1 tablespoon ghee. Place the chicken breasts in the skillet with the skin side down and sear 3-4 minutes (see note 1). When chicken breasts are seared nicely, use tongs to flip them over (see note 2).
• Place skillet in the preheated oven and cook for 25-30 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 162°F. Use an instant read thermometer to check the temperature in the thickest part of the chicken without touching bone.
• When the chicken breasts are cooked through, remove the skillet from the oven and allow the chicken to rest for 10 minutes (see note 3)..

Steps:

• Position the oven rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 500 degrees F. Whisk the buttermilk, eggs, salt, vanilla and 1/3 cup granulated sugar together in a large bowl until completely combined. Whisk the flour, baking powder and baking soda together in another large bowl until completely combined. Fold the buttermilk mixture into the flour mixture with a silicone spatula until just combined (it's OK if there are a few lumps). Reserve 2 tablespoons of batter in small bowl and set aside.
• Brush 2 tablespoons butter on a 18-by-13-inch sheet pan and pour in the batter, using a spatula to smooth out the top. Tap the tray on the counter a few times to even out and flatten the batter.
• Stir the warmed jam in a small bowl until pourable. Imagine the batter in the pan divided into four sections (2 across and 2 down). Dollop the jam, about 1 teaspoon at a time, over the surface of one section. (You want to see red dots of jam sitting on top of the batter.) Using a toothpick or small skewer, swirl the jam into the batter, making a marbled pattern. Top with sliced strawberries.
• Sprinkle chocolate chips over a second section of the batter. Arrange banana slices in a herringbone pattern over a third section of the batter and sprinkle the fruit with the remaining 1 to 2 teaspoons granulated sugar.
• Mix the brown sugar, cinnamon and reserved batter together in a small bowl, and dollop, about 1 teaspoon at a time, over the last section of the batter. (You want to see a lot of brown dots sitting on top of the batter.) Using another toothpick or small skewer, swirl the cinnamon mixture into the batter, making a marbled pattern.
• Put the sheet pan in the oven and immediately reduce the temperature to 400 degrees F. Bake, rotating the sheet pan halfway through baking, until golden brown and a cake tester inserted into the center of the pancake comes out clean, 18 to 23 minutes.
• Brush the pancake with the remaining 2 tablespoons butter and let cool 15 minutes before cutting. Stir together the confectioners' sugar and 1 teaspoon water in a small bowl and drizzle over the cinnamon swirl quadrant.
• Serve the pancakes with maple syrup and whipped cream.
