Quick Roast Chicken with Mustard & Garlic

My husband said to me after he took his first bite; I think this is my new favorite roast chicken!  I have to admit that it’s mine too.

Chinese Soy Sauce Chicken

Chinese style Soy Sauce Chicken can be found hanging next to the roast duck behind the glass case in Chinatown or at a Chinese BBQ restaurant.  If you don't speak Chinese (which I don't), just point at what you want.

Sunday Chicken Parmesan

If you have been cooking along with me, you now have leftover Italian Tomato Sauce in your fridge or freezer.  If not… get cooking so you can make chicken parmesan for dinner, or head to your pantry for one of those emergency jars of your favorite bottled sauce.

Lemon Chicken with Spinach

The first time that I tasted these flavors together was at a local mid-eastern restaurant.  Luckily they had an open kitchen so I could watch them prepare my meal. All it took was a handful of fresh ingredients that melded together creating a light flavorful dish with a clean finish. 

Baked Chicken Adobo

Filipino adobo is a simple blend of tangy vinegar, salty soy sauce and a punch of garlic, with a touch of S&P, a bay leaf and a bit of waiting time. That’s all it takes to make this easy pantry ready meal that always gets great reviews. When I say I’m making adobo, my family always gets excited which I find interesting, considering how basic it is.

Easy Green Chile Chicken

I needed a quick dinner that was hearty and satisfying, which got me thinking about my favorite breakfast burrito-filled with chile verde (a slow cooked pork stewed in a tomatillo sauce), potatoes and cheese.  Yummers!!!

Whole Butterflied Roasted Chicken

PRINT RECIPE



My friend Dave sent me a link to a fantastic web page that described how NOT to roast chicken. The big question was, to brine or not to brine. I am a firm believer in butterflying the chicken so that part was a no brainer.

Chicken King Thing aka Creamed Chicken

PRINT RECIPE


T.M.I..............I had a crazy day at work and needed to get dinner together quick. I usually bring out my gigantic 3 ring binder with all my recipes and notes (huge mess) and all I really needed was to reference how long to cook my chicken breast and at what temp.  So did I really need to pull out my binder?

Not anymore (at least for tonight).  Instead I logged on to my blog and wrote in the search box Simple Roast Chicken and there it was.  Instant information in a well organized format.

It was way cool!!!  When I started this blog I didn't realize that I would be using it in this way.

Lemongrass Chicken Satay

Someone once said to me that food on a stick always taste better. I think they might be on to something.

Dijon Chicken Satay with Peanut Sauce

PRINT RECIPE


This is my favorite go to chicken on a stick recipe. It’s surprisingly flavorful for such few ingredients.

Chinese Mushroom Chicken

PRINT RECIPE


This recipe was requested by my friend Connie in Hawaii. When she asked for it I couldn’t remember how to make it. I mentioned it to my husband and he said that he would love to eat it. So I stirred up my memory and this is what I came up with. I learned how to make this dish when I was about 12 years old from Pui Lee who taught me a lot in the kitchen of Jack’s.

Chinese Ginger Chicken

PRINT RECIPE

Last night I made Chinese Ginger Chicken for Dave. I wish he was here to enjoy it. He sent me an article that had many cooks making it up in their own style. So I took what I call Chinese Steamed Chicken (a recipe that I got from my mother-in-law) which is my husband’s favorite and he likes it simply served with oyster sauce on the side for dipping and turned it into ginger chicken. It was wonderful.
