Lemony Chicken Thighs with Lemon Salsa Verde

I love lemons. I use them in cocktails, side dishes, salad dressings, sauces and desserts. While I use them for almost every kind of cooking, my favorite way to use lemons is in desserts or sauces. That lemon adds a bright, tart flavor to whatever I’m making. And although I’ll use whatever lemon I can… Continue reading Lemony Chicken Thighs with Lemon Salsa Verde

Hakkari-Style Pot Roasted Chicken and Onions

Passover is next week. So is Easter. And it’s always so hard to find something to serve that will work for both feasts. Ham is a popular choice for Easter but of course you can’t eat it for Passover. Lamb is always good, but so is chicken. I prefer the chicken over lamb because it’s… Continue reading Hakkari-Style Pot Roasted Chicken and Onions

Curried Chicken with Raisins

I love to cook. It doesn’t matter if I find recipes online, in a cookbook, in a class or make them up myself. As long as there are ingredients and a stove or oven, I’m happy. While coming up with a recipe all by myself is gratifying, following someone else’s direction to a delicious finished… Continue reading Curried Chicken with Raisins

Roasted Chicken with Sweet Potatoes and Oranges

We’re right in the middle of citrus season. This is one of my favorite times of year. Sure, I love the spring and summer when there’s an abundance of berries and stone fruits, but when those sweet berries and peaches aren’t available, oranges and lemons are a wonderful alternative. While citrus aren’t as sweet as… Continue reading Roasted Chicken with Sweet Potatoes and Oranges

Chicken with Avocado Pomegranate Salsa

Monday through Friday, I’m pretty busy. I have to get the kids to school, attend various food events, get my kids to their after-school activities and get dinner on the table by six. So, when I’m that busy I look for a dinner that’s not only a cinch to throw together but is delicious, too.… Continue reading Chicken with Avocado Pomegranate Salsa

Korean Barbecued Chicken Lettuce Cups

When I grew up, my family and I had Chinese take out on a regular basis. I always loved the fried rice, dumplings and egg rolls. They were delicious and I always looked forward to those nights when we ordered out. Then in college, I had two Asian roommates. One was Korean and the other… Continue reading Korean Barbecued Chicken Lettuce Cups

Grilled Garlic Chicken Tenders

Every year for the 4th of July we always have a block party. Everyone on the block gets together and we play games, listen to music, drink cocktails and of course barbecue. There are the standard burgers and dogs, but there are also the not so standard chicken, ribs and whatever anyone else wants to… Continue reading Grilled Garlic Chicken Tenders

Grilled Chicken and Strawberries with Balsamic Syrup

It’s so funny the way summer works here in the South Bay. One day it’ll be cold and foggy and in the low 60’s, or what we call June Gloom. Then the next day, usually right around the official start of summer, it’ll be sunny and hot, like in the 90’s hot. When it gets… Continue reading Grilled Chicken and Strawberries with Balsamic Syrup

Herb-Crusted Chicken with Strawberry Relish

I love this time of year because all the fresh berries and stone fruits are coming back in season. The first fruit that lets you know summer is coming are strawberries. There are so many different things you can do with strawberries: from eating them right off the vine as a snack to mixing them… Continue reading Herb-Crusted Chicken with Strawberry Relish
