Greek Chicken and Potatoes
This Greek chicken and potatoes is a one pan meal with marinated garlic and herb chicken and tender potatoes, all roasted to golden brown perfection. A super easy dinner for a busy weeknight.
Sheet-Pan Miso Chicken & Sweet Potatoes
This one-pan dinner is the only thing standing between you and ordering takeout (again). Luckily, I’ve whipped up a weeknight meal that’s hands-off, hassle-free, and brimming with bold flavor: sheet-pan miso chicken and sweet potatoes. Bone-in chicken thighs, sweet potatoes, and shallots get smothered with miso-chili sauce and baked until the sweet potatoes are tender […]
Chicken, Sausage, and Red Pepper Paella
Paella to me is the ultimate one pot meal. It also is the time of year where I am not ready for a stew but want something more substantial than the usual summer fare. Paella is a great answer. Although paella is considered Spanish I think this one is more Mediterranean. I use Italian […]
Oven-Roasted Barbecue Chicken
Many recipes for oven-barbecued chicken disappoint with soggy skin and little flavor, so our goals were clear. To fix the issue with the skin, we tried a handful of methods including air-drying and broiling, but in the end the best solution was simply to remove it before cooking. This left the meat exposed, making it […]
Pollo a la Brasa (Peruvian Grill-Roasted Chicken)
In Peru, maestros polleros, or poultry masters, make the wildly popular chickens known as pollo a la brasa by grill-roasting chickens on rotisseries that spin lazily over crackling wood fires to produce meat that's encased in tawny, paper-thin skin and dripping with juices. Our version calls for marinating the bird in a beer-based marinade […]
Authentic Thai Massaman Curry with Chicken
For many people, massaman is their favourite of all Thai curries because of the tender braised meats and aromatic spices. It’s so popular that CNNGo once voted it to be “the most delicious food in the world!” This chicken massaman curry recipe is one that I’ve been making since I was a teenager in Thailand, […]
Braised Chicken with Coconut and Plantain
This deliciously rich chicken braise is an adaptation of Mariana Velásquez’s pollo guisado en coco y ají criollo from her book “Colombiana.” She explains that the dish is not a traditional Colombian guisado (stew), but the flavors are very much in keeping with the spirit and essence of the cuisine. Cubanelle peppers, sometimes sold as […]
Traditional French Cassoulet
Creamy, flavor-packed beans with meltingly tender nubs of pork belly and sausage and poultry that falls off the bone in moist shreds, all in a rich, sticky liquid that drinks like liquid pork. A meaty stew of poultry, sausage, pork, and beans, all under a rich, dark brown crust.This is the kind of fare […]
Creamy Chicken, Wild Rice, and Mushroom Soup
A warm and creamy mushroom, chicken and wild rice soup that is down right one of the best comfort food around!I certainly have been enjoying making a lot of soups lately and my favourite has to be this creamy mushroom chicken and wild rice soup which is a combination of two amazing soups, cream […]
One-Pan Chicken Thighs With Burst Tomatoes, Harissa, and Feta
Quick-cooking, budget-friendly, and pretty hard to screw up (that dark meat is automatically juicier), chicken thighs are our default weeknight dinner—and this is our simplest recipe yet. It's made in a single pan in less than 45 minutes—and you don't even have to chop a vegetable. What's the shortcut? Harissa, a North African pepper-based hot […]
Chicken Paprikash
Spices lose their flavor over time but few as quickly as paprika, which starts out tasting of pepper and sunshine but deteriorates in but a few months to sawdust and bitterness. For this recipe, get some new at the market: sweet or hot Hungarian paprika is best, but the generic article isn’t terrible and the […]
Billy Parisi’s Coq Au Vin
Coq au vin translates from French to English as a rooster in wine. While roosters are a little hard to find in America, the female hen is most often used in this recipe here. The process of this recipe is marinated and seared chicken that is then braised with vegetables in wine and stock.
Old-Fashioned Chicken Noodle Soup
We were after a comforting, deeply flavored old-fashioned chicken noodle soup that was easy enough to make when you're feeling under the weather. Browning bone-in chicken pieces before simmering them in store-bought chicken broth creates an intensely chicken-y soup base. A standard mix of onion, celery, and carrot simmered alongside the chicken enhanced rather than […]
Garlicky Spiced Chicken and Potato Traybake with Pomegranate Molasses
This meal-in-one is our adaptation of a recipe in “The Palestinian Table” by Reem Kassis, which she prepared for us on a recent trip to Galilee. In lieu of seasoning the chicken and potatoes with the Kassis family’s nine-spice blend, we make a simpler mixture from a few select ground spices. And to make a […]
Pearl Couscous with Chicken and Chickpeas
This is our version of the fragrantly spiced, stew-like maftoul with chicken and chickpeas that we tasted in Galilee. Maftoul, sometimes referred to as Palestinian couscous, resembles pearl couscous in shape and size but is made with bulgur. It is difficult to source in the U.S., but pearl couscous is a good substitute. For this […]
Chicken Kapama
I have my mother and aunt to thank not only for feeding chicken kapama to me as a child but also for teaching me how to make their grandmother’s recipe. It’s a simple dish, but somehow nothing smells better than cinnamon sticks in melting butter, and every time I make it, I think of the […]
