I may or may not have seen a few scenes from Step Brothers recently. And from that movie, comes this chicken was made up only because of the name. The inspiration behind it is it played on the "Catalina Wine Mixer".
Although I didn't mince the chicken (which I originally planned to) to make the name make more sense.
But it's sweet, tangy & BRIGHT PINK! (I couldn't get a good photo of how pink it really is.) Seriously, who wouldn't love trying fuschia chicken?! (The answer is everyone; No one was eager to try the chicken. Everyone gave me really skeptical looks and asked 26 questions about why it was pink before actually eating the chicken. But that's not the point, everyone also enjoyed it, so I'm going to share my recipe, anyway!) 
I cut up 7 chicken tenders into little nuggets, seasoned them (to taste) with onion powder, garlic powder, and pepper. Put them in a skillet, and added 1/2 cup of Catalina dressing and 1/8 cup of Chardonnay. I let it cook about 10 minutes on medium, squeezed 1/2 lime in the skillet, and let it cook another 10 minutes (or just until all the sauce has soaked into the chicken). Making sure to flip and move the chicken around every 5 minutes or so. That easy & that quick.
Because the chicken is made with salad dressing, it's perfect for salad. We had it on top of salad with cheddar biscuits, and it was an extremely satisfying dinner for everyone. As long as there is some chicken in every bite, you don't even need dressing! (Of course, that didn't stop me from adding it, but to each its own, right?)
UPDATE: For lunch, I fried the leftovers, and they were pretty good that way too!
