Some days you just need a quick lunch or dinner idea that doesn’t involve much cooking. This was one of those days! I try to keep a package or two of pre-cooked sausages in the refrigerator for this very reason. Whole foods, and some supermarkets, have a good selection of gluten-free, pre-cooked chicken sausages. Some… Continue reading Chicken Sausage “Pasta” (with zucchini noodles)

Bacon-wrapped Chicken Cordon Bleu
Ok, I had my doubts about posting this recipe because of this photo – let’s just say it reminds me of those photos of jack-o-lanterns spewing their insides out. However, the kind Facebook followers of our blog thought it looked yummy, and who am I to argue with reason? It was very yummy! (Thanks in… Continue reading Bacon-wrapped Chicken Cordon Bleu
Grilled Lemon-Pepper Chicken Wings
In my humble opinion, chicken wings are good any time of the day or night. You can have them as appetizers, set them out as party food, or make a complete meal of them for dinner. If there are any leftover (rarely), I will eat them for breakfast! We were having a craving for the… Continue reading Grilled Lemon-Pepper Chicken Wings
Lemon Garlic Chicken with Goat Cheese
Slightly modified from Barefoot Contessa’s Lemon Chicken Breast Our oven has been out of commission all week, so cooking has been a bit of a challenge. We tried to grill as much as possible, but twice got soaked again in the thunderstorms that always pop up promptly at 6:30 pm (or whenever the grill has… Continue reading Lemon Garlic Chicken with Goat Cheese
Korean Honey-Sesame Chicken Skewers
Modified from: Barbecue! Bible by Steven Raichlen Yes, this is yet another post about meat on a stick. We are just plain nuts about grilling meat on skewers (and there are those that would say we are just plain nuts, period). I’m pretty fond of a good sweet-salty combination, which led me to the recipe… Continue reading Korean Honey-Sesame Chicken Skewers

Chicken Satay with Grilled Vegetables and Basil
Loosely adapted from MarthaStewart.com Grilling outdoors in 90+ temperatures is a little brutal, but this simple meal will get you back into the air conditioning in no time!

The flavors from the marinade really come through, and the grilled vegetables with… Continue reading Chicken Satay with Grilled Vegetables and Basil

Perp-Walk Chicken
aka Grill-Roasted Chicken with Lemon, Garlic, and Fresh Herbs Saturday, May 21, 2011. This date stands out for many reasons. First, as I’m sure you heard, it was purported to be Judgment Day. As 6 pm slid past uneventfully while we sipped Pinot Noir on our peaceful patio, with this chicken roasting away in the… Continue reading Perp-Walk Chicken
Chicken Stuffed with Brie and Walnuts – An Experiment
Back in the 80’s when I lived in Chapel Hill, NC, there was a restaurant called McCarthy’s Grill. They served a stuffed chicken breast with a flavor that haunts me still, and I have absolutely no idea what was actually in it. I remember walnuts, a mustard sauce, perhaps some kind of cheese. This recipe… Continue reading Chicken Stuffed with Brie and Walnuts – An Experiment
Chicken Thighs with Spicy Mustard-Orange Sauce
Adapted from Bon Appetit via Epicurious “Orange Chicken”, as we call this at home, is an old favorite of ours because of the great sauce. It combines the sweet, fresh flavors of orange juice and honey with the spiciness of grainy mustard, and a bit of chipotle pepper thrown in for warmth. A good sauce… Continue reading Chicken Thighs with Spicy Mustard-Orange Sauce

Thai Chicken Curry
I admit, I probably could have taken a better photo of our Thai Chicken Curry. The recipe itself was truly stellar….we mmm’d and exclaimed during the entire meal, exalting the symphony of flavors and textures. The next morning I dutifully wrote down the ingredients while they were fresh in my memory, then viewed the memory… Continue reading Thai Chicken Curry
