Grilled Pickle Chicken I love pickles. Salty, crunchy, delicious pickles. I always have a jar in my fridge. While I do make my own in the summer (Recipe Here)… I tend to just buy my favourite zesty garlic pickles to snack on. I’ve heard of marinating chicken in pickle brine for fried chicken recipes but I’d never tried it. I can’t believe I’ve ...
Chicken
Sausage and Mushroom Crostini
Sausage and Mushroom Crostini The recipe I chose for ReDux was from Rachel Ray 2 where she prepared Sausage Calzones. I was inspired by the Season and thought this would be a great party food (no one has to know you’ve cut out fat and calories). I’ve lightened this up by using low fat turkey sausage, low fat goat cheese and I’ve increased fibre by ...

Spicy Mediterranean Roasted Chicken Breasts
Spicy Mediterranean Roasted Chicken Breasts This is one of those recipes that I go back to time and time again and yet, I've never posted it! I love roasting bone-in chicken breasts because you get a lot more flavour and of course it doesn't dry out. I like this marinade because you get the intense flavour from the garlic and oregano ...

Chicken Parmesan
Chicken Parmesan Chicken parmesan is one of those foods that people assume is difficult and time consuming, or fattening; wrong! I have made this a few time recently and had it on the table in under an hour; including preparing the tomato sauce.

Old-Fashioned Chicken-Vegetable Bake with Cheese
Old-Fashioned Chicken-Vegetable Bake with Cheese This is literally a "dump and go" dinner that can be made ahead of time and then put in the oven whenever you're ready! I don't like using the word "dump" to describe food. ...
Creamy Mushroom and Turkey Tetrazzini
Creamy Mushroom and Turkey Tetrazzini I made a tetrazzini recipe a few years ago and when I looked back at it I decided I wanted to make it in a completely different way. Here I've made the 'cream' sauce with milk and poached a very lean turkey breast to include in the casserole. My other recipe was amazing but man, this one ...
