Chinese Chicken Salad
This recipe (Barefoot Contessa Parties!) was amazing. I substituted (what else?) a rotisserie chicken for the roasted chicken breasts, and we used less than half of a recipe for dinner. It took me less than 10 minutes to throw this … Continue reading →
Tuscan Lemon Chicken
This chicken (Barefoot Contessa Back to Basics) was supposed to be a whole chicken, cut up and grilled. As I made it, it was chicken pieces (thank you, Trader Joe’s) made in the oven (thank you, Minnesota spring winds). It … Continue reading →

Mexican Chicken Soup
This recipe (Barefoot Contessa at Home) wasn’t so different from the Chicken Chili, but I don’t mind an excuse to eat avocados and cheese.

Roast Capon
I’d never cooked capon before using this recipe (Barefoot Contessa at Home, p. 102), and I figured it couldn’t be all that different from a roast chicken. After all, a capon is merely a rooster which is… no longer a … Continue reading →
Indonesian Ginger Chicken
This recipe (The Barefoot Contessa Cookbook, p. 125) calls for two whole chickens, but I just use whatever bone-in, skin-on chicken I happen to have on hand (usually whatever is in the freezer from the last grocery store sale). It … Continue reading →
