Classic Cuban: Fricasé de Pollo

May 15, 2013 Kristen 2 Comments

“Chicken and Papas” is what my brothers and I call this classic Cuban dish. “Papas” is Spanish for potatoes, and being that I’m part Irish, I’m quite fond of potatoes too! Speaking of a mixed-up heritage, isn’t it the French who are best known for fricasé? So, you may rightfully be wondering–how did a decidedly

ARROZ CON POLLO Ingredients: 1 1/2 to 2 pounds chicken (boneless or bone-in chicken–I used boneless, cut into large chunks) 1 bag medium grain white rice (4 cups) 1 cup diced green bell peppers 1 1/2 cups diced yellow onion 4-5 large garlic cloves, minced 3 tsp ground cumin 1 tsp oregano 1 tsp Bijol

Curry Chicken Salad

I love the fresh fruit and cashews in this salad. I used extra slices of apricots and the apricots tasted great with the dressing alone.

I saw this recipe in People when I had picked up the magazine in the checkout isle to see Jessica Simpson’s baby’s first pics. The recipe looked so good that I decided to buy the magazine for “inspiration,” this is a better rationalization than just wanting to zone-out to celebrity gossip! This recipe was by

This casserole perfectly combines so many flavors: sweet, spicy and svaory! Beware: you will be asked for this recipe!

Looking for the perfect Cinco de Mayo recipe? This is a delicious casserole-pie that is sure to impress! This is a recipe adapted from the show “Simply Delicioso with Ingrid Hoffman.” Just a word of caution for you Mommas: if you have little ones (8 or younger), this dish might be too spicy. My advice

Vegetarian Buffalo “Chicken” Pizza

This chicken-less version of the classic pizza topping, will leave your family amazed that it's meatless!

One of my favorite vegetarian “junk” foods are Morning Star’s Veggie Buffalo Wings. I call them “junk” food because they are very processed and have an overly-lengthy ingredient list. Still, they are far better for you than a fast food fried chicken sandwich any day! I eat these soy nuggets by themselves and dunked in

Impress your family and friends with this lick-your-plate-clean, super-easy chicken dinner!

This is my all-time favorite home cooked chicken dinner recipe. Handed down from my Grandma Shirley and reworked over the years. Your family will love this moist and flavorful chicken dish that you can pair with mashed potatoes, baked potatoes, or steamed veggies. I usually do my favorite mashed potatoes with steamed asparagus dressed in

Serve these super-quick chicken tacos with a side salad or chips and salsa!

Since I just posted a classic chicken soup recipe made from a rotisserie chicken, I wanted to also post the second meal that we got from our $4.99 Costco chicken! This is one of those semi-homemade dishes that really benefits from the slow-roasting rotisserie process. You can whip it up super-fast because the depth of

Seems like the cold and flu season is getting a head start as Kysen is sick for the second time in 3 weeks! Luckily, his daddy made a batch of his homemade chicken soup, the perfect comfort food for when you’re feeling under the weather. Chicken soup (or any broth-y soup) is actually great

Use your leftover Herb Chicken to make this awesomely delicious pizza!

A “recipe remix” from the Herb Chicken recipe from last week, it’s the perfect idea for leftovers and your family won’t even notice that the chicken is a repeat! The key to this recipe is the white wine reduction sauce being drizzled over the freshly baked pizza–just wait till you try it! This might

Chicken and Herbs with Carrot Risotto

I tried out this recipe that I found in my June “Fitness” issue cause (1) it made my mouth water and (2) it was touted as being a “Quick Chick” recipe that only required 5 minutes for prep and 15 minutes for cooking! I was a bit skeptical because I’ve been in a kind of
