Chicken rice pilaf

Chicken rice pilaf recipeRecipe: Chicken rice pilaf

Sometimes you just need comfort food and to me chicken rice pilaf comes to mind. This chicken rice pilaf recipe was created one weekend while taking care of my wife. She was recovering from the flu and “nothing sounded good”. Everyone’s been there before. Those dreaded days where you have a taste for absolutely nothing. Some serious pick-me-up food was necessary.

I decided to take my chicken soup recipe and put a more fulfilling twist on it, chicken rice pilaf. Instead of noodles and broth, I’d go for a more hearty mix of rice brown and white rice. The aromatic mix of Basmati rice, celery and onions would fill the house with that smell that just says ‘home cooking’. Bright orange carrots and green peas add inviting familiar colors to the mix. Dill and parsley bring everything together in a nice savory way.

Cuban Mojo chicken wraps with pineapple, roasted red pepper salsa

Cuban mojo chicken wraps with pineapple, roasted red pepper salsa

Master Chef revisited.

About this time last year I entered and won our local Louisville TV station’s edition of Master Chef. Since the show aired I have yet to post the recipe on Weekend Chow Down so I felt it was time to revisit and share this wonderful summertime recipe.

I’ve always loved the bright citrus, garlicky, zesty flavors of Mojo (aka Spanish BBQ). In the US, Mojo is popular around Florida, especially where there is heavy Cuban influence like Miami. If you’re looking to bring some Latin inspiration to your summer cook out, look no further. Mojo is really such a simply marinade to create and not only packs a ton of flavor but also does a great job of tenderizing meats. A good fresh Mojo marinade goes great with bone in and boneless chicken or pork. If your not totally convinced yet, it’s a healthy alternative to sticky store bought BBQ sauces that are packed with sugar and corn syrup. Read more

Chorizo burger with Jazz apple slaw

Chorizo Burger Recipe

Chorizo Burger Recipe

With summer in full swing, I can’t help but want to grill burgers out by the pool. Bored of the same old beef burger and inspired by my wife’s quest to eat healthier; this spicy summer burger is the answer to a healthy but tasty beef burger alternative.
These Chorizo burgers defeat the dreaded “dry” turkey burger stereotype by incorporating a few tricks and some big flavors. The Chorizo burger is an eleven on the savory scale. Smoked paprika, chipotle, provolone cheese and garlic marry up with the sweet of apples drizzled in a tangy red cabbage vinaigrette slaw.

Before you run and hide from the dreaded “turkey burger”, hang in there for a moment. Turkey alone can lead to a dry burger, however by adding some ground pork and a bit of olive oil to the mix you’ll have that juicy burger you crave.

Asiago crusted chicken piccata

Chicken piccata

Asiago crusted chicken piccata

Chicken piccata is a classic Italian dish of thin chicken breast, lightly breaded with flour and cooked to a golden brown, the served with a zesty lemon reduction sauce. Chicken piccata is something I’ve made dozens of times, with some practice it’s not a terribly difficult dish to make. As everyone knows practice makes perfect and I must admit, this may have been the best rendition of chicken piccata yet. With that said, I’ll confess that part of it was almost by ‘accident’.

With summer winding down and cool weather upon us, I felt it was time to start brushing up on some comfort food for the coming season. Fall and winter always bring around some of my absolute favorite meals. Soups, stews and Chili all rank highly at the top of my list, so as usual I can’t wait for winter to come.

I stumbled on to Chicken Paprikash while browsing some recipes online one day. I was searching for an excuse to use paprika, I love it and could put it on almost anything. Naturally when I saw a recipe for Chicken Paprikash I jumped right on it. Read more
