Apple-Hickory Smoked Chicken

This morning I woke up from a nightmare. I was the cooking wench for the House of Stark in their ancestral castle of Winterfell, located in Westeros, the northernmost province of the Seven Kingdoms. I had just pulled these birds from the pit as winter fell, promising to linger for many, many years. Yes, indeed. The weather is a … Full recipe post »

Clay Pot Chicken, Rice and Lentils

Update: 1 cup of wild rice and 1 cup of farro both cook at the same time (as long as they’re not quick cook) and work great as a base for the chicken in this recipe, too. This morning we woke up to the first real snow of the year––good thing I’d purchased a chicken. … Full recipe post »

Skillet Fried Chicken

With trepidation, I’ve been working on a recipe for fried chicken, wondering why anyone needs another with Emeril Lagasse and Paula Deen crowding the kitchen. That, however, is a pitiful excuse. Up until now my fried chicken has been only so-so. I grew up following generations of Alabama women who made outrageously delicious fried chicken several times a week. They could … Full recipe post »

Grilled Chicken Breasts and Strawberries with Balsamic Syrup

“Strawberry Fields Forever” — what inspired the illusive lyrics to one of John Lennon’s most masterful songs, penned in the 1960s? Nothing, really, for according to the words, “nothing is real.” That hasn’t dissuaded millions, perhaps over a billion, people to try decoding the music hoping to shed light on life’s discordance. But does the meaning, in … Full recipe post »

Make-ahead Tex-Mex Chicken and Rice Casserole

I volunteered to make a casserole to feed a family of four, which had to pass a great deal of criteria. The day I promised to deliver, my schedule was booked, therefore said dish must be made a day in advance, baked off the following evening, and delivered hot at supper-time. It had to be a complete … Full recipe post »

Chicken & Curly Endive Stir-Fry

I forget about cooking with curly endive, but I shouldn’t. The bitter flavor is marvelous served raw paired with other greens in a salad; it’s a wonderful green to cook with, as well. If you find it too bitter raw, you won’t have that issue when it’s sauteed. The following recipe was modified from a recipe … Full recipe post »

September’s Bon Appetit answered the question featuring easy weeknight recipes from some of America’s top chefs. Dale Talde, the man behind Brooklyn’s Asian Fusion Restaurant, Talde, shared his recipe for a homemade chicken sausage wrapped in lettuce leaves.

Chicken and Butternut Squash Stew with Moroccan Flavors

Delicious, impromptu meals don’t always come from a book, the Internet or exhaustive recipe files. Rummaging through kitchen pantries and freezers, then adapting those odds and ends to suit cravings, are often what inspire a favorite dish. Certainly that’s the case with this recipe. A half of a butternut squash, beginning to discolor around the edges, … Full recipe post »

Buffalo Chicken and Pasta Casserole

One way to quieten me is by placing a plate of greasy, meaty Buffalo Chicken Wings, blue cheese dressing paired with celery sticks, and a jar of Franks Red Hot under my nose. You won’t hear a word until there’s a plate of bones by my side, and I don’t like sharing. Problem is, a … Full recipe post »

Chicken Cutlets and Brussels Sprout-Chive Sauce with Al Dente Chia Fettuccini

I used no ordinary pasta to soak up the sauces of   Chicken Cutlets with Brussels Sprout-Chive Sauce. I made this recipe with Al Dente’s latest creation; Bona Chia Spinach Fettuccini. According to the Al Dente pasta web site, “…chia (is) a rediscovered ancient grain and superfood. -twice the protein of any other seed or grain; -five … Full recipe post »

Chicken Cutlets with Fried Capers and Tomatoes

It’s a snap making quickie meals with thin pieces of meat; a recipe for Asian Pork Cutlets with Asparagus and Turkey Cutlets with Almond Sauce are favorites. Although the following recipe is a bit more involved – more along the lines of a piccata – chicken cutlets simply sautéed with leftover veggies also makes a … Full recipe post »

Proscuitto-Wrapped Chicken with Creamy Cheese & Balsamic-Date Sauce

This recipe jumped out at me; the salty chew of proscuitto combined with sweet dates, creamy cheese and chicken sounded enticing. Start to finish, the recipe suggests, should take only 30 minutes; easy elegance without much fuss. I found it in the “Everyday Easy” section of the May issue of Better Homes and Garden Magazine. I was … Full recipe post »

Cheesy Chicken, Spinach and Red Onion Tortillas

Quesadillas are quick and easy to make, and are a marvelous vehicle for using up leftovers – the flat, flour or corn wraps reminding of a canvas on which to sketch a meal. Last year I made a similar recipe for Spinach, Roasted Red Pepper and Goat Cheese quesadillas that is a bit more involved than this, but worth … Full recipe post »

Clay Pot Chicken & Rice

“You call yourself a food writer and have never cooked in clay?” JC was teasing me, but I felt heat rising up my neck, and it wasn’t from a hot oven. (Which brings me to the holy grail of earthenware cookery: Never put a clay pot in a preheated oven; it may crack.) “When you’re … Full recipe post »
