Strawberry Chicken Salad with Warm Orange Vinaigrette

Crisp lettuce, tender chicken, sweet berries and toasted almonds are tossed with a warm citrus vinaigrette in this flavor packed summer salad. I used Mojo Chicken when I made this meal. The citrus marinade on the chicken was an excellent complement to the flavors in this salad. If you aren’t up for grilling or turning on your oven, a store bought rotisserie chicken would work fine in this salad as well. Get New Recipessent to...

Chicken, White Bean and Kale Soup

Tender chunks of roast chicken, creamy white beans and fresh kale combine with a sprinkling of herbs and a bit of chicken broth to make a surprisingly hearty meal. Topped with a generous sprinkling of cheese, my husband and I both agreed that this soup was delicious. My boys weren’t big fans of the kale. All three of them requested that I put their kale in a smoothie next time instead of soup. At least they like kale most of...

Spinach Artichoke Chicken

Spinach artichoke dip meets chicken in this absolutely delicious meal. I ran across this recipe on my friend Robyn’s blog and immediately added artichokes to my shopping list. I made this the week before Christmas and then I made it again last week. My oldest son is not a big fan of chicken and he requested the leftovers both times. I served the chicken with roasted potatoes and a salad the first time I made it. The next time,...

Creamy Mexican Chicken and Corn Soup

Tender chicken and sweet corn are combined in a creamy soup with just enough heat to warm your mouth without setting it on fire. My entire family loves this soup, even my non-spice loving middle son. Combine that with the fact that it takes barely 20 minutes to pull this soup together, and you’ll understand why this is a frequently eaten meal in our house! Quick soups are one of my favorite ways to get dinner on the table in the fall. I...

How to cook chicken, deglaze a pan, and make a pan sauce in 20 minutes or less!

When I first moved out on my own, and then later as young newlywed, the idea of spending even a few extra minutes or a few extra ingredients to create a sauce for a piece of meat or dish of pasta was beyond stressful for me. I was not an experienced home cook and any extra steps in a recipe or needing to spend a few extra minutes in the kitchen caused me to frequently panic. While I don’t consider myself to be an expert in all kitchen things...

Huli Huli Chicken

Tangy, sweet, Huli Huli Chicken is Hawaii’s version of barbecue chicken. The chicken is marinated and then glazed as it cooks, it is loaded with flavor from pineapple, ginger, brown sugar and soy sauce. I ran across this recipe over a year ago and pinned it to try someday. I’m not sure how “someday” became a year and a half later, but I’m glad it was finally made. I’ve made this chicken twice in two weeks and each time,...

Lemon Couscous with Craisins and Chicken

Crunchy pistachios, buttery sautéed onions, chunks of chicken, sweet craisins, and plenty of citrus flavor fills each bite of this couscous “pasta” chicken salad. Served hot or cold, this is a make-ahead meal that I’ll be making all summer long. Israeli Couscous has become “that food” for me this year. I crave it again almost as soon as I make it. I keep boxes of pearl (or Israeli) couscous on hand in the pantry at all...
