Chicken Noodle Soup

Monday, December 7th, 2009

Core warming soup for another chilly Northwest evening. I used leftover meat from a rotisserie chicken that we had on Sunday rather than browning the meat, so it was even faster to make. We had this with some warm ciabatta bread to dip in the broth. Very ...

Sweet and Sour Chicken

Friday, December 4th, 2009

This is a great recipe from my mother. She uses skinless boneless chicken breast, but I prefer the little bit of extra flavor and moisture in the thighs. They have a touch more fat, but not really enough to count. Sweet and Sour Chicken Serves 4 For the chicken: 1 lb skinless ...

Turkey Tamales

Sunday, November 29th, 2009

I made turkey tamales for lunch today (see post below on leftover round-up for the recipe). Almost out of leftovers now :-)

Honey Hoisin Glazed Drumsticks

Wednesday, November 4th, 2009

This was an experiment that turned out okay. I threw together some of my favorite stir fry sauce ingredients into a sauce, reduced it, and used it to glaze some baked chicken drumsticks. These had a sort of a wing feel with more meat to enjoy, but the ...

Chicken Piccata Skillet

Monday, November 2nd, 2009

This was a little different take on my chicken piccata. I got a one pound package of skinless boneless chicken breast, cut it into bite-sized chunks, and tossed them in the seasoned flour mixture before cooking in olive oil and proceeding with the rest of the recipe. I ...

Pollo al Rhum

Sunday, October 18th, 2009

I got this recipe from the Tasty Kitchen website. It was the featured recipe a few days ago and I marked it to try. I slightly reduced the butter and used freshly grated nutmeg. This was a very juicy and flavorful chicken, and I'll definitely make it ...

Spaghetti with Italian Sausage Red Sauce

Tuesday, October 13th, 2009

This was a quick and easy meal. I got some great locally made chicken Italian sausage (made by Isernio's Sausage). It's very lean and quite tasty. If you use regular Italian sausage, you might want to drain the skillet before starting to make the sauce. Spaghetti with Italian ...

Baked Buffalo Wings

Sunday, October 11th, 2009

This is a simple, easy, and tasty game day snack. My Broncos pulled out a great win, and I actually think they might go places this season now! We like these with a fair bit of a kick. If you like them milder, increase the butter and ...

Chicken Enchiladas

Wednesday, October 7th, 2009

This was an experiment, as Shaun wanted something different for dinner. It was a decent quick meal. It needs some tweaking, but all in all not a bad simple start. I'll definitely season the chicken some next time. If you're normal, you'll probably want to add ...

Chicken and Basil Calzones

Friday, October 2nd, 2009

This recipe is from the pages of Cooking Light. I've had it bookmarked for some time and was recently reminded of it. You can find the original recipe here. I made minor tweaks. Mine are far from pretty, but as these were delicious, I'm sure I'll ...
