We love traditional al pastor tacos (and really any tacos). They are challenging to make at home though. We’ve tried a few methods for making authentic-ish pork al pastor with mixed results. I decided to try this chicken version for a slightly healthier, easier weeknight meal. The marinade for these is the same marinade thatContinueContinue reading “Al Pastor Chicken Tacos”

Crunchy Sesame Chicken Salad
Asian chicken salad is one of my favorite salad meals. This recipe was based on one I saw on Ambitious Kitchen. My favorite recipe uses peanut dressing, but I loved the sound of the sesame ginger dressing for this one and had to try it. As usual, I made a few modifications to my ownContinueContinue reading “Crunchy Sesame Chicken Salad”
Honey Mustard Chicken Wraps
We all loved these honey mustard chicken wraps and they were quick and easy for a weeknight meal. If you aren’t a fan of honey mustard, you could make these with ranch or Caesar mayo instead of honey mustard mayo and they’d be equally good. Bacon would be amazing in these as well. The combinationContinueContinue reading “Honey Mustard Chicken Wraps”

Thai Red Curry Noodle Soup
I love pretty much any and all curry from any country. They are all so different and so flavorful. This is a variation on Thai red curry that is served as a soup with noodles instead of over rice. Thai curry with coconut milk can be very rich, but this recipe has a good balanceContinueContinue reading “Thai Red Curry Noodle Soup”
Mexican Chicken with Cheese Sauce and Rice
I saw a picture of this recipe and it looked so satisfying. It is a pretty simple meal, but I like the combination of highly spiced, grilled chicken, cheese sauce and rice. Ideally you should always marinate chicken breasts the day before, unless the marinade contains a lot of citrus or vinegar, in which caseContinueContinue reading “Mexican Chicken with Cheese Sauce and Rice”

Mongolian chicken is another quick and easy Chinese takeout make at home meal. It has simple ingredients and technique, but a lot of flavor.
