Basil Chicken Burgers with Pesto Mayonnaise
Recently I discovered that my favorite local French-inspired bakery sells baked goods at our local grocer. I quickly picked up a pack of ciabatta rolls without a plan for how to use them. But who needs a plan when you have the Interweb? I found these Basil Chicken Burgers with Pesto Mayonnaise, which were moist, flavorful, … Continue reading
Balsamic Strawberry Pizza with Chicken, Sweet Onion and Applewood Smoked Bacon
Back in the day, I loved this little pizza-by-the-slice place because it had a huge list of unconventional toppings. I’d order the “International” slice, which allowed me to choose five toppings. I usually chose bacon, corn, capers, onions and broccoli. Yes, broccoli. (Really, it becomes roasted on top.) All this to say, I like my … Continue reading

Chicken & Dumplings: A Comfort Food
Want a delicious chilly weather dinner? This Everyday Food Chicken and Dumpling dish is a winner. It’s flavored like chicken noodle soup, but it’s more substantial. Oh and if you’re a dill hater (I know there are some of you out there) you can substitute the crushed rosemary for dill. I prefer it that way. Chicken … Continue reading
Asian Chicken Meatballs with Peanut Sauce, Red Curry Couscous and Zucchini
We don’t have many meatball fans in this house, so once I found this Williams Sonoma recipe, I had high hopes for some meatball converts. Rather than beef, the meatballs are made out of chicken and incorporate these Asian flavors: ginger, lemongrass, cilantro, soy sauce, and garlic. The original recipe is an appetizer–pretty little meatballs served on lettuce leaves. I want … Continue reading
Pecan-Crusted Chicken with Orange-Maple Glaze
I found this recipe “Pecan-Crusted Pork with Orange-Maple Glaze” in Better Homes and Garden, Sep 2011. It was delicious except that the cooking method didn’t work for me (possible cause = my ineptitude). The pecans were burning but the pork was undercooked. I had to finish it off in the oven. The family LOVED the flavors: maple, … Continue reading
Ancho Chili Chicken & Steak Fajitas
This is a great weekday quick cook, especially if you prep your ingredients the night before or even in the morning. I modified the original steak-only recipe by doubling the ancho chili marinade and adding chicken to the mix. These Chicken & Steak Fajitas make great leftovers and take-away lunches. Serve it with black bean salsa, sour … Continue reading
Slow Cooker Moroccan Chicken Tagine
Not to digress, but have I been living under a rock? It didn’t even occur to me that Williams Sonoma would have RECIPES online. WHAT!?! So much to cook, so little time! On to the Moroccan dinner… I was looking for another slow cooker recipe, so that I don’t have to cook wearing the baby sling … Continue reading
Baked Parmesan Chicken Strips & Chocolate Pudding Parfaits
This is a favorite meal of ours. It’s a light version of Parmesan Chicken that I usually prepare as baked chicken strips. The strips are crispy because of pre-toasting panko (Japanese-style) bread crumbs. They aren’t as moist as fried strips, so I recommend serving with plenty of dipping sauce, like marinara. The chicken uses four … Continue reading
Slow Cooker Chipotle Chicken Tacos
I love chicken tacos, so I was delighted to find a slow cooker version in Everyday Food. Although this dish has few ingredients it has a complex flavor because of the chipotle chilies, which come canned for less than $2 in the Mexican food section. Freeze leftover chilies in a zip top bag for later. This … Continue reading
Bagawk! Chicken Broth and Red Curry Chicken Salad
Efficiency in the kitchen is not always easy. So when I find pairings that save me time, I take note. Here is one such combination: Chicken Broth and Chicken Salad. Since chicken salad requires cooked chicken, use the cooking process to make a flavorful broth. Homemade broth is superior to store-bought broth. You can freeze it … Continue reading
