Roast Chicken with Sumac, Za’atar, and Lemon

I seem to be cooking my way through all my Yotam Ottolenghi cookbooks. This Roast Chicken with Sumac, Za'atar, and Lemon is so easy, done on a sheet pan in the oven. Ottolenghi uses a combination of the exotic flavors of sumac and za'atar with lemon which is inspired by a Palestinian dish called m'sakhan. Za' atar is a Middle Eastern blend of dried thyme, toasted sesame seeds, salt, and herbs.

Pulled BBQ Chicken Sandwiches

These Pulled BBQ Chicken Sandwiches were a HUGE hit at the school I cook for. You make them in a slow cooker then shred them up and add bbq sauce. I actually made mine in my Instant Pot because I did not have a lot of time. This sandwich is a real crowd-pleaser.

Artichoke, Parmesan Chicken Bake

My sister-in-law Rhonda is in town from the UK and her friend Steve came over and told me about this Artichoke, Parmesan Chicken Bake. It took five minutes to prepare and it was SO good! I'll be making this again.

Creamy, Cheesy Chipotle Chicken

A chipotle is a smoke-dried jalapeño. You can buy chipotles in a can with adobo sauce, which has chipotles that are stewed in a sauce with tomatoes, garlic, vinegar, salt, and spices. The first time I made tortilla soup, I used a whole can of chipotles! The recipe called for one canned chipotle. Let's just say it was smoking hot soup!!!
This Creamy, Cheesy Chipotle Chicken has a great smoky flavor and is cheesy and comforting. It's easy to make and perfect for a dinner after a busy day.

Chicken and Sausage Gumbo

This Chicken and Sausage Gumbo recipe is relatively quick to pull together compared to most traditional recipes. After preparing the roux, most of the time spent making gumbo is basically hands-free. You’ll just need to stir the pot occasionally to prevent sticking. You can serve it over rice for a complete meal and freeze the leftovers in gallon-size freezer bags. If there are any leftovers! Here is the recipe.

Chi Cheese Quesadilla

Sadly, our local go-to Mexican restaurant is closing in a few days. One of my favorite items on the menu:
Chi Cheese Quesadilla - char-broiled chicken or carne asada, spiced with our chipotle chile and barbecue sauce. I guess I now have to start making it at home.
