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.

Sumac Spice-Crusted Chicken and Green Bean Salad with Spiced Yogurt Dressing

This Sumac Spice-Crusted Chicken and Green Bean Salad with Spiced Yogurt Dressing is a great salad that you can make in the morning. 

Sumac is a red spice is harvested from shrubs in the Middle East and traditionally sun-dried. It is tart, acidic and tastes of lemons. This dark red powdered berry had a nutty texture with a tart, sour lemon with a slightly fermented taste. Sumac can be used as you would lemon and salt for chicken, fish, vegetables or hummus.

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.

Slow Cooker Chicken Tinga

My daughter Zoe made Slow Cooker Chicken Tinga. I wish I could have been there to try it! Chicken Tinga is a Mexican dish made with shredded chicken in a sauce made from tomatoes, chipotle chilis in adobo, and sliced onions. You can use it on tostadas, quesadillas, tortillas. Top it with avocado, red onion, cilantro, and maybe even some crumbled cheese, like cotija or queso fresco.

We had this Chicken French - Rochester, NY Style in a classic old-school restaurant called Charley Brown's when we were in Rochester. It's frozen in time around 1982. They have this dish on the menu called - Chicken French ~ egg-dipped, sautéed in sherry-lemon butter My husband Eric thought it was the best chicken he'd EVER had, which I have to agree!

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!

Chicken Tetrazzini

Last night, my husband said we should make Chicken à la King. I happen to have a lot of chicken at the moment. I then proceed to tell him how to make Chicken Tetrazzini. I get them both mixed up!

It turns out the difference is that Chicken Tetrazzini has cheese in it and Chicken à la King does not. In the 1950s, you would open a can of Campbell's cream of mushroom soup, a package of frozen peas, carrots, a can of sliced mushrooms, some Velveeta cheese, and chicken or turkey and voila...an abomination! Anyway, my version is delicious!
