This recipe is all thanks to Stephanie (so thanks Stephanie!). She pointed out on Instagram that it’s delicious and I need to have the recipe up on the blog. I, fool that am I, never thought to post it, because it’s too easy. Ummm, some days I think I live in a giant brain fart….

Ina’s Perfect Roast Chicken
Whole roast chicken is a staple in our house. My usual go to is this Show Stopper Roast Chicken. Clearly, the post needs an update, but I did get the recipe printable at least. It’s the family favourite, but today I felt like trying something new. I also didn’t feel like putting much thought into it,…
Quick and Easy Orange Chicken
The is one of Oliver and Anna’s favourite things in the world to eat. It’s hands down just as good as the takeout version from across the street, and I can get it on the table for them in the same amount of time, or less, than it takes me to call, order, and have…
the ultimate chicken pot pie
I’m really going to boast here: this is the best chicken pot pie you’re ever going to make. I mean it. Four years ago Bo and I had an obsession with chicken pot pie. I went to town, making version, after version, after version. Every type of crust, every type of filling, seasoning, spices, and…
Baked Summer Chicken with Fresh Tomato Salsa
The way to put a smile on Bo’s face most nights is to string together “chicken” and “breaded” when describing dinner. It’s summer though, and the last thing I felt like last night while in a rush to get dinner ready was heating up some oil, and dealing with the clean up. Also, we could…
Ancho Chili and Tequila Glazed BBQ Chicken Thighs
You might have noticed from the last couple recipe posts that I live in two seasons. Winter, where I hibernate and seem to rarely cook anything exciting, and BBQ season. I love BBQ season almost as much as I love my kids. Hell, in another few months when I can have a beer while I…
BBQ Style Baked Chicken Thighs
This is one of the easiest chicken dinners that I make, and it also happens to be one of Bo’s favourites. Writing it out for you is probably going to take me three times as long to do as getting this dinner in the oven, and I’ve only got 15 minutes to spare right now….
Anniversary Chicken (or Pan Seared Chicken Breasts with a Roasted Red Pepper and Tomato Cream Sauce)
It’s ironic really that I call this Anniversary chicken, seeing as I was supposed to make it for our anniversary and instead we ordered pizza at nine at night once the kids were in bed. Happy five years hunny! Three weeks later though, I finally got around to making it. On a Monday night. When…
My First Time Spatchcocking
I had wanted to try spatchcocking a chicken for years, but I was too scared too. It seemed like it was everywhere though, on every cooking show I turned on, in ever magazine I bought. It was going to be so juicy, it was going to cook so much faster, it was going to be…
White Wine-Braised Chicken and Potatoes
Let me just start off by saying that I really loved this white wine braised chicken and potatoes. After about 5 good bites, sampling everything and rubbing my crusty bread around in the little bit of sauce that drained to the bottom, I looked Bo in the eyes and said without an ounce of doubt…
Chicken Dinner in a Pot
This is a great recipe to keep in your arsenal because it’s fairly hands off, and the entire meal cooks in one pot together. I love those kinds of meals! The rundown is a whole chicken that simmers / steams over top of chicken stock and white wine, along with carrots, potatoes, and some flavor boosters….
Sweet and Sticky Chicken with a Kick
Here’s another nice and easy recipe to make. It’s a lot like a teriyaki chicken, but I don’t think that the soy sauce flavour is quite as strong in this one. Also, don’t be turned off by the kick, it’s really completely up to you. It comes from a little bit of hot sauce, and…
Chicken Vesuvio
Here’s another quick, easy, one pot meal. Those really are the best, aren’t they And here’s a warning: if you’ve cooked pretty much anything else that I’ve made on this site, you’ve probably noticed that it’s full of flavor. I love flavor. I love sweet, I love spicy, I love tangy and tart. I love…
Pub Style Buffalo Chicken Bites
So, hockey season has started and in this house, we bleed blue and white. It’s a birth right, or requirement, to be a Toronto Maple Leaf’s fan, and Bo and I had our own little hockey tradition going. Until the kids that is. Every hockey game we used to go out to a local wing…
Mexican Style Skillet Chicken and Rice
Sorry, I’m not feeling very creative right now. I can’t seem to come up with a shorter more creative name. Something like Sombrero bake…that’s horrible. Let’s just leave well enough alone. Want to know what else I’m sorry for? I forgot to take pictures of this one as I cooked it. And it’s not so much that I…
Easy Garlic Parmesian Chicken Bake
Tonight was one of those horrible nights. I’m going to go ahead and assume that everyone has them, so please, don’t feel the need to correct me. Anna and Oliver both got shots today, Anna’s first set, and she was not happy about it. At all. The tylenol didn’t help her at all and while…
