The inspiration for this chicken recipe came from my Mother in Law-maybe 45 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. I […]

Italian Chicken with Capers and Almonds
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, […]
Del Campo Chicken Tacos
One day, the doorbell rang and there was a totally unexpected delivery from Del Campo– the most delicious, fresh, tortillas (large and small) and tostadas you have ever had. Each bite tastes of pure corn. I happily munched on the tostadas while I made chicken tacos.I let the Del Campo […]
Chicken, Pineapple, and Snow Pea Kebobs
For years, I’ve watched my friends grill outside. My husband and I are sort of “vetted and bonded” professional guests. We don’t have a summer house. Many of our friends do; so over the last 30 or so years, we keep returning to the same homes. A lot of grilling […]

Breast of Chicken with Grapes and Mushrooms
This recipe is one of my children’s and grand children’s favorites. I think it’s the juicy sweetness of the grapes that squirt in your mouth with every bite that makes it so special to eat. I like to make this recipe with chicken breasts; but you can use the whole […]
