Some years ago, my friend Linda & I went on a quilt shop hop. We ended up in Woodstock around lunchtime and were delighted to discover that the shop was serving chicken salad wraps for lunch. They received so many compliments that they included the recipe in their next newsletter. In fact, the chicken salad…

Smoky Grilled Rosemary-Balsamic Chicken With Green Beans & Kamut
Sublime! The smoky flavors of the plank & cheese meld perfectly with the rosemary and balsamic. It does require a little advance prep, but it’s so worth it! Ten to fifteen minutes to whip up the marinade in the morning, and an hour to cook the kamut before dinner. While it’s cooking, there’s plenty…
Grilled Mojito Chicken Thighs
Yesterday was Mojito night at our house. My spearmint plant is thriving, in spite of neglect, so I decided to use mint in everything I made for dinner – even the olive oil for the bread. Each use was a bit different, so each dish had its own flavor. The Strawberry Mojito Salad was an…
Thai Basil Chicken With Snow Peas & Mint
Here is another favorite recipe of mine. I love the basil & mint in the sauce. The mint is mostly in the background; there’s no big mint flavor smacking you in the face. Rather, the basil is the star, and the mint just adds a little undernote. The combination is divine! Tonight, I stirred in a handful of…
Spicy Ginger Miso Chicken Thighs
This delicious chicken dish is quick and easy, but it tastes like you spent a lot of time and effort on it. I cut out a couple of steps to make it even simpler. Once you’ve minced the ginger and garlic, it’s just stirring and baking! I like to serve it with Spelt-Butterbean Salad. You’ll find…
Lemony Basil Chicken With Basil Aioli
This is one of my favorite recipes, just for the sheer joy of the flavor. It’s also my go-to recipe for when I have a lot of fresh basil I need to use up, and I’m not in the mood for pesto. The flavors in the chicken meld so wonderfully, you could almost do without…
Vanilla Balsamic Chicken
This is a marvelously flavorful dish. The vanilla adds to the depth and breadth of the flavor, but doesn’t dominate & isn’t sweet. You’ll find a printer-friendly version at the bottom of this page. Ingredients: ½ cup fat-free, less-sodium chicken broth ½ cup balsamic vinegar ¼ cup finely chopped shallots ¼ cup packed brown sugar…
Lemony Sheet Pan Chicken with Potatoes, Asparagus, & Herbs
Just look at that basil! I grew that indoors in my Aerogarden. Just as tasty as it looks! If you don’t have the lemon-fused olive oil, you can substitute plain. Of course, you can also substitute whatever vegetables you have on hand. Yellow beets, carrots, cauliflower, & small Brussels sprouts are all good choices. I made a double…
