The inspiration for Chicken with Blackberry Glaze came from my Mother-in-Law- 50 years ago. My husband always called it Currant Jelly chicken. I made it with currant jelly for many years until the jelly itself became hard to find. Fast forward, I now make it with blackberry preserves- hence Chicken […]
This chicken recipe is built on layers of flavor from many different elements. Your first bite tells you that this is a soft chicken recipe. As the pieces of chicken are simmering, they absorb the sweetness of carrots and orange juice along with the tang of wine and vinegar. Then, […]
I was inspired to make Chicken Tacos when I received a totally unexpected delivery of fresh and delicious tortillas and tostadas from Del Campo. Each bite tastes of pure corn. I happily munched on the tostadas while I made chicken tacos. I let the Del Campo company know how much […]

The apricot-ginger glaze gives the skin a sticky crisp texture and mouthwatering taste. Tenting the turkey mid roasting helps […]
