Chicken Wrapped in Bacon with Peaches & Brie

This Chicken Wrapped in Bacon with Peaches & Brie is a great way to use ripe peaches. I have a love-hate feeling about stone fruit. They are on your counter hard as a rock and then they are ripe and go bad very quickly. This recipe works because of the sweetness of the peaches and saltiness of the bacon and then, of course, there is gooey cheese!

Chicken with Jezebel Sauce

Jezebel Sauce has been popular in the south since the 1950s. It is a sweet and spicy sauce. The original recipe used a combination pineapple preserves and peach preserves and also sometimes apple jelly. I just used apricot preserves, but it’s up to you. It also has some horseradish and mustard powder, which gives it a spicy zing.

Jezebel, the evil Phoenician princess in the ninth century BC, has come to be known as an archetype of the wicked woman!

You can serve it over crackers with cream cheese, dipping sauce for coconut shrimp, fried seafood, and eggrolls.

Chicken Lombardy

This Chicken Lombardy is juice, cheesy and delicious. I think the only difference between Chicken Lombardy and Chicken Marsala is that this dish has cheese. It does call for Marsala wine, though you can use dry sherry.

Ramen Noodle Frittata

One of my favorite lunches is Peanut Butter Ramen Noodles, which is a recipe my husband invented. Here is another way to use ramen noodles and the first thing you do is throw the flavor dust packet in the trash! Your family will love this Ramen Noodle Frittata. It's very versatile. You can use different vegetables or ground meat in it. The funny thing is that it calls for Oyster sauce and I grabbed hoisin sauce instead, which worked just fine. Then I looked up the difference between the two -

Hoisin sauce is made primarily with soybeans with other ingredients like garlic, sugar and various spices. Oyster sauce does contain the seafood after which it is named. ... Hoisin sauce contains various spices and is sweeter. While oyster sauce contains sugar as well, it is not as sweet as hoisin sauce.

Antipasto Baked Smothered Chicken

Antipasto is the traditional first course of a formal Italian meal. Typical ingredients of a traditional antipasto include cured meats, olives, pepperoncini, mushrooms, anchovies, artichoke hearts, various cheeses, pickled meats, and vegetables in oil or vinegar. This Antipasto Baked Smothered Chicken uses that first course to smother some chicken breasts. The outcome is wonderfully, briny and delicious.

Curried Chicken Waldorf Salad

This Curried Chicken Waldorf Salad is an update on the classic salad. The dressing combines mayonnaise, curry powder, turmeric and a bit of mango chutney, which adds the perfect amount of sweetness to compliment the tart Granny Smith apples. I love the crunchiness of this salad.

Top it with avocado, red onion, cilantro, and maybe even some crumbled cheese, like cotija or queso fresco.

Sheet Pan Chicken with Fennel & Orange

I found this Sheet Pan Chicken with Fennel & Orange recipe from Waitrose, which is a British supermarket. I have to say, their recipe was wrong! I fixed it and it's delicious. Fennel has a strong licorice flavor, though when it's cooked mellows out and becomes lighter. The fennel fronds may be used as a garnish to other meats or roast fish, or chop it and use them instead of parsley and dill in sauces and soups. The best thing about these sheet pan dinners, is that there isn't much to clean up!
