Do you guys have Alpaca where you live? They have the best Peruvian chicken and we love eating there. I also love making any variant of the dish at home. The Aji Verde (green sauce) is really the star, but the chicken is amazing too. This recipe turns the dish into a salad with theContinueContinue reading “Peruvian Chicken Salad with Aji Verde”

Lemon Chicken Orzo Soup
Chicken soup from scratch is one of the cheapest, but most satisfying meals to make. If you start with a whole chicken, you get tons of meat as well as tasty homemade broth for your soup. I have been making homemade chicken noodle soup for years, and decided to do a variation with some addedContinueContinue reading “Lemon Chicken Orzo Soup”
Pesto Chicken Sandwiches
This sandwich is way more delicious than it has a right to be for how easy it was to make. My family loves pesto and I usually make a few batches of homemade pesto each summer. I used Wegman’s pesto here though to save time, and we loved it, so I may just buy thatContinueContinue reading “Pesto Chicken Sandwiches”
Double Lemon Chicken
This recipe comes from Ottolenghi’s Test Kitchen and it is a take on Chinese takeout lemon chicken, but lightened up and with a much deeper flavored sauce, achieved using preserved lemon paste. I had bought a jar of the above preserved lemon paste to make these Preserved Lemon Chicken Skewers and I had a quiteContinueContinue reading “Double Lemon Chicken”
Buffalo Chicken Chili
I decided to try this recipe for Buffalo White Chicken Chili from Half Baked Harvest because I’ve never had white chicken chili with buffalo sauce and it sounded tasty. This is a fairly rich dish as it has cream cheese (and also calls for cheddar, which I left out) in the chili. I lightened itContinueContinue reading “Buffalo Chicken Chili”
Lemon Chicken Wraps with Garlic Tahini Sauce

My oldest is home from college and my middle son just graduated high school and my youngest is moving up from middle to high, so I haven’t had much time to take pics and write recipes…. but hopefully back to it now. I haveContinueContinue reading “Lemon Chicken Wraps with Garlic Tahini Sauce”
Thai Chicken Basil Rolls with Hoisin Dipping Sauce
These Thai basil rolls with ground chicken were pretty quick to make, but they have a lot of flavor from the Thai basil, cilantro, ginger, garlic, jalapeno and the dipping sauce. They were tasty and we all enjoyed them. I used raw/cook at home tortillas for the wraps for these and honestly I think theyContinueContinue reading “Thai Chicken Basil Rolls with Hoisin Dipping Sauce”
Chicken in a Pot with Orzo
I used to watch Ina Garten on TV back in college, along with every other cooking show I could find. She was really accessible when I was learning to cook, because her recipes tend to be pretty simple and straight forward. This chicken in a pot with orzo is both of those things. I likedContinueContinue reading “Chicken in a Pot with Orzo”
Preserved Lemon Chicken Skewers
Have you guys tried preserved lemons? They are used in Moroccan and Middle Eastern cooking and I love them! I have a big jar of them I made in my fridge and they keep really well. A little goes a long way with them, but they are unique and add a burst of flavor thatContinueContinue reading “Preserved Lemon Chicken Skewers”
Chinese Chicken Salad Wraps
Chinese chicken salad is one of my favorite salads. Especially the version with peanut dressing. This is a variation on that meal, where it is made into wraps. We really liked the combination of the peanut dressing and the chili mayo. These wraps had tons of flavor and lots of crisp, fresh veggies. It helpsContinueContinue reading “Chinese Chicken Salad Wraps”
