Welcome to 2020 friends. As December is a crazy month for most of us, Cook or Die took a short hiatus. Now we find ourselves in a new year and a new decade, and with it come new hopes, dreams, and appetites. As many of you forum vets know, there is one sandwich like no other. One that had a truly epic journey across every subforum (It was still :metal: AF for the PI mod to kill their own chicken as sacrifice) and then retired. For years, the it has lurked, watching but not forgotten. Waiting for the moment where it would be posted and consumed again. Forum Persons of all stripes, I present to you the January 2020 Cook or Die Challenge. The chicken cheesesteak. aka chicken philly aka THE CHICKENCHEESE  OP OG Chickencheese, circa Sept 2012. A sandwich like this demands that you approach it with enthusiasm and respect.  With that in mind, let us descend into the madness. What's a cheesesteak without a good base of bread to start from. Having said that, guess which dumbass forgot to take pictures of his breadmaking? Imagine here are a bunch of pictures of dough being made, rising, being shaped, rising again, and then baking to result in some pretty drat good homemade hoagie rolls using the following formula with the improved mix method.  The dough is kneaded and ready to rest:  It's time to prep your veggies. We have white onions, bell peppers, and for those seeking flavor, we have a choice of poblano, serrano, jalapeno, and some not cubanelle/anaheim pepper we found at the market:   Now that your veggies are chopped and go ahead and chop up your chicken breasts (I sliced it into cutlets, then pounded them a bit, then chopped) Check your dough, and if it's risen go ahead and make up your rolls.  While proofing round two happens, check in on your assistant:  Hmm... well then, she's not very helpful at the moment, is she? Rolls are proofed, go ahead and put an eggwash on them and stick them in a 425 degree oven with some steam:  Once the bread comes out, toss it in a rack to cool:  Go ahead and get your veggies going:  ACTIONSHOT https://i.imgur.com/J8BVuSF.gifv Keep going:  Good enough:  Now get your chicken out and let gets something other than the color pink on it:  Yep, that's still raw. Let go ahead and add a little S+P while we cook:  Can you hear the sizzle? Good enough part 2:  Toss it in a bowl  Get the sides in the oven. Not seen here, onion rings a rack lower:  Grab those buns hun and do some splits:  Apply butter:  Now, get your diners to assemble their preferred cheese and pepper blend and get ready for GO TIME!  Get your griddle ready:  TEAM CHICKENCHEESE TO THE GRIDDLE:  While we wait for the rest of the group to get to the griddle, ask yourself, is the bread getting a nice color?  I REPEAT. TEAM CHICKENCHEESE TO THE GRIDDLE  Time for the meat and cheese to take a nap and get melty:  aww shiiiii  I present to you, in all her glory. THE RETURN OF THE CHICKENCHEESE:  Complete plate with fries and onion rings. Not pictured: IBC Root beer.   As with all cook or die challenges the steaks are the same:  If you post here, you must post your own chickencheese by NOON EDT January 31 or eat a 6 hour probation. NOW GO FORTH AND SHOW ME HOW YOU CHICKENCHEESE.

Your I Can't Believe It's Not ChickenCheese looks fantastic and I would happily put it in my face. I've heard good things about cashew cheese and really need to give it a try.

Here's a breakfast "sausage" egg and chickencheese I made at work. No stove. Only a microwave and a toaster oven.

JacquelineDempsey posted:Some fine looking chickencheese all up in here. I'd offer the make the gang tag, but don't know the first thing about animating stuff. I think it should read along the lines of "CHICKENCHEESE" then "WORLD TOUR 2020". Maybe have lil' screenshots of the various forums names scrolling up in the background, as if you were looking at a band's tour shirt. I like this idea.

Double posting with the FINAL WEDNESDAY UPDATE 28 days later, we have 45 people with 51 kinds of Chickencheese! All of you should be proud of yourself and give yourself a pat on the full/happy belly you have given yourself and your loved ones. 
 The following posters have promised us chickencheese with their words, but have still not shown us with their actions: 
 YOU HAVE 48 HOURS REMAING TO CHICKENCHEESE lest you eat a 6 hour probation.ATTENTION: For those that want the proposed gang tag, please let me know and i'll break out anyone who wants the tag into a separate section in the final wrap up post on Friday so it's easy to find for the gracious mods to bestow upon us.

CHICKENCHEESERS! Welcome to noon on January 31st. We have reached the end of the ChickenCheese Cook or Die Adventures. It has been quite the journey, from the humble roots in GWS, to the most chillaxiest subforum, to the land of arguments and even sportball aficionados. Posters came together from all over the world to deliver unto us their ChickenCheese.  ChickenCheese unites us all. At the end of this journy, we have an amazing 60 ChickenCheesers! Our ChickenCheese Champions are as follows:
Every one of you should give yourself a nice pat on the back.  The following list of posters has failed to chickencheese: 
Each of you,  and  HOWEVER, ALL IS NOT LOST. As is tradition, I am a gracious and kind OP.You have 24 hours until I close this thread and post the February Cook or Die to redeem yourself. Mods, the following are people who said they want a chickencheese gang tag whenever someone figures out how to bring JacquelineDempsey's idea to life.
