As is usually the case, I seem to end up with something in the freezer, then have to figure out what to do with it. That’s because I buy stuff on sale, and figure out the cooking details later. In this case, a package of chicken legs. Cooking them in the slow cooker seems like…

When it come to stuffing chicken breast, there’s a couple of way to go. The popular route is to take a whole breast, make a pocket and fill it with a stuffing. Don’t get me wrong, it’s delicious. It’s not the taste though. It’s the ratio of meat to stuffing that bothers me (yeah, I…
One pot dinners are the best. This is a weeknight one pot dinner that’s easy to make and clean. Split chicken breast is cheap, which makes this dinner budget friendly. And mini potatoes are delicious, soft, buttery and full of the chicken flavor they absorb. So here is skillet split chicken breast with mini potatoes…
It’s always easier to take something you know and like, and add a little twist. And that’s what I did here. Chicken stir fry is a big hit in our house. By changing the recipe only slightly the flavors can be shifted from far east to Indian. So here we have sweet mango chicken curry.…
