This is a very simple recipe which can be made out of stuff off the shelf--exactly the kind of thing this agent would be able to do. XD

Agent Suicide's Lemon-Pepper Chicken

App. 1 1/4 pounds frozen boneless chicken (four thick breast pieces)
1 bottle randomly-chosen lemon-pepper marinade (or if you wanna get fancy, use the recipe at http://southernfood.about.com/od/bbqsaucemarinade/r/blbb288.htm .)
Few tablespoons olive oil (to taste)


1. Thaw the chicken. Set it, still wrapped in plastic, in a bowl of cold water for about the length of one standard Spartan shield drill. (That's three to six hours for you civilians.)
2. Slice each chicken breast in half lengthwise, creating thinner fillets. Agent Suicide recommends using a small machete or a WW2-era trench knife, but any good chef's knife will do if you really must.
3. Put the fillets in a bowl and cover with the marinade. Leave to set in the fridge overnight, preferably under guard to prevent delicious chicken theft. (Spartan gentleman-rankers or devoted squires only for the guard. Achaean and Thessalonian mercenaries are too prone to leftovers theft.)
4. Relieve the guards from their posts and remove the bowl from the refrigerator.
5. Prepare a skillet by greasing it with a few spoonfuls of olive oil. Any skillet may be used, but Agent Suicide is a firm believer in good old-fashioned, just-like-grandma-used-to-break-heads cast iron.
6. Be careful not to heat the skillet too quickly, or your chicken will start spitting fat and smoke all over the place. Suicide recommends a good "medium" heat and a little Scotch to liven up your next half-hour of standing at the stove.
7. Place two or three fillets in the pan, turning with a fork when they begin to brown. Slicing them down the middle is also helpful to make sure the chicken cooks thoroughly. Do not pour any of the used marinade into the pan, unless you like cleaning little bits of sticky brown crust out of everything. (If you do, Agent Suicide is not judging you. After living with Spartans, nothing surprises him.)
8. Cook until well-done, or however you like it.
9. Caution! Pan will be extremely hot, greasy, and possibly smoky when you finish it. Residual grease may be poured down the throat of any captured Sues--or, if you're boring, you can pour it into a tin can and put it in the freezer. (This makes it much easier to collect and dispose of a great deal of residual grease, but has no added advantage of shrieking and flailing.)
10. Enjoy your chicken.
11. Glare at the console, which goes off approximately 30 seconds into step 10.
12. Promise yourself you'll get another job tomorrow.
