Chicken in Milk

I know that Chicken in Milk sounds terrible, but you must suspend your disbelief and try this easy to make chicken. It’s a dish that originated in Italy, and is made by braising a whole chicken in milk, along with herbs, lemon and spices. The milk helps to tenderize the chicken and infuse it with flavor. The chicken is often served with pasta or rice.

Green Chili and Chicken Lasagna

This Green Chili and Chicken Lasagna is subtly spicy, cheesy and creamy. I used a rotisserie chicken for this dish. You can make it ahead and bake it later.

Oven-Fried Chicken

Fried chicken is a mess to make. After watching an episode of the Barefoot Contessa, I decided to try it. It’s called Oven Fried Chicken, which you fry in the beginning and then finish it in the oven. It’s not nearly as messy as the full fried version. It's crispy and moist and goes really well with mashed potatoes.

This Green Bean and Barley Chicken Casserole is a recipe from Country Living. It seems that most Southern recipes have a crunchy topping. This one is particularly delicious because it uses cheese crackers.

Baked Chicken Wings 2 Ways

Chicken Wings 2 Ways is a great appetizer for any party. Traditional chicken wings are pretty spicy. I added a non-spicy version. You can divide the recipe in half and make both to satisfy everyone. The key to crispy chicken wings is boiling them first. These seem counter-intuitive, but it works. Make sure you pat them dry before roasting. Moisture is the enemy of crispiness!

An Elegant Entrée

This Puff Pastry Boursin Chicken is an old favorite recipe. My husband and I have been serving this our whole married life. It is very elegant and we put the guests’ initials on top of the puff pastry, which serves as place cards. You can also cut out cookie cutter shapes.
