    The Honey French Dressing is my oldest bookmark and I wish I had made this before. I'm nuts about it! Its very delicious and not too sweet. Just enough sweet. Its a keeper for me.
    The chicken strips were tasty. I only had one chicken breast so I cut the ingredients down. I had some Panko leftover but that may have been due to my cutting of stuff. Tasty but I thought the cheese overpowered the flavor a bit. That could be a personal preference. I was wishing these would get more crispy. I think that is due to the crumbs soaking up the butter. Still - a nice Sunday dinner.

    Yum, your chicken looks good!
    That dressing sounds interesting! What did you use for the chili sauce? I never seem to know when someone calls for chili sauce if they mean the spicy stuff like sriracha sauce, or the condiment next to the ketchup?

    I used the condiment like ketchup. I really loved that dressing! Oops. I said that already. :-P

    Lol, thanks! I'll have to try that, looks good!! I thought the srirracha would make it really spicy, but had to ask ;) We all live in different regions and some things are called something else it seems!

    Yum. That home made dressing has me very intrigued Frankieanne (GORGEOUS pictures BTW) :) I love home made ones and we don't care for too sweet and this one looks and sounds like it might be just right.
    You're absolutely right Shona, and I appreciate you pointing it out, that it's hard to know when someone means a sweet Thai chili sauce, or a garlic chili sauce like Sriracha or the chili sauce condiment that looks like ketchup. LOLOL. I'm glad we have clarification. :)

    Thanks for getting the clarification Shona:) I always wonder about that as well. The recipe for the dressing is very similar to what I would call Catalina dressing. Is that what it takes like Frankie? Even better I bet b/c it is homemade. Your whole dinner looks delicious to me:)

    I'm not really familiar with Catalina dressing. I looked that up here and there are two recipes - that are vastly different from each other! So, I'm not certain.
    I thought about the fact that the poster could be talking about Sriracha but thought too myself that it would be wayyyyy too spicy - for me anyway. Then I saw my bottle that said "chili sauce" on it right next to my ketchup and thought "this must be it!!" And it was!
    Soooo good. In fact, I think I'll go make myself a little salad right now! :)

    I'd say Catalina is fairly similar but not as sweet as "Western" dressing Frankieanne. I ADORE Western dressing but can only find it in the States.

    Well, I must be living in a cave when it comes to salad dressings because I have never had nor heard of Western dressing! I searched for a recipe here at GR and came up with nothing! But, I found this one.

    Holey moley, that's a lot of sugar! I think this Honey French Dressing is sweet but not too sweet.

    Western I believe is a brand name and is basically Catalina. Both are similar to the brand Dorothy Lynch but sweeter. All three are a close kin to French dressing.

    Well here it is http://www.wish-bone.com/products/western-original-salad-dressing/
    Wishbone is a popular dressing, but I swear I have never seen it before. Now I have to look next time I go to the store just to see if I've always looked it over Lol :)

    I've bought both Catalina, in Canada and Western in the States and although indeed they are comparable, they have two totally different flavours and would be easy to discern in a blindfolded taste test. :) And yes, French would be in the same category but again different. Same but different. LOLOLOL. Now you all have me craving Western salad dressing.
