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

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
Chipotle-Lime Marinated Pork Kebabs
It was one of those first days of near-spring when it felt great to be outdoors. Sunny, but with enough chill in the air to sit around the chiminea on the patio and indulge in some crossword puzzles while James stoked the fire with pinon wood, supplemented by fallen branches from the yard. It was… Continue reading Chipotle-Lime Marinated Pork Kebabs

Chicken Pecan Salad
I’m always on the lookout for good chicken salad. I like it with nuts and a touch of something sweet, like dates or other dried fruits.
