In a large bowl, mix together the flour with the spices. working in batches, add the chicken pieces, rotating a few times to completely coat the chicken pieces ...

Sweet Onion Marinated Chicken
Sweet Onion Marinated Chicken This is a dish that I made at my parent's house last week. I have to point out, because I think it's first time in history, there's NO GARLIC in this recipe. It was odd. I still feel not right about it. I honestly think this is the first time I haven't used garlic in a marinade recipe. So weird (but good!). I ...
Honey-Lime Marinated Grilled Chicken
Honey-Lime Marinated Grilled Chicken I'm completely torn. I love this time of year, I look forward to the cool nights and all the amazing holidays about to be celebrated but I also feel sad. I always feel like something beyond everyone's favourite time of year is over. Am I alone here? With that said I must point out that as a proud Canadian ...
Scandinavian Salade Nicoise with Poached Chicken
Scandinavian Salade Nicoise with Poached Chicken I made this dinner with the help of my mother. My father and Mike had both worked a really long day in the middle of a ridiculous heat wave that hit southern Ontario this summer. My mother and I thought a cold dinner, ie, salad was a no-brainer, apparently Mike and my father had a different idea; ...
Baked Monterey Chicken
Baked Monterey Chicken So I’ve been baking my chicken in a completely different way for the last 6 months or so. Instead of the traditional pan-frying/browning then transferring to the oven, I’m baking from raw. Your jaw may or may not be on the floor here, I guess it depends on how into cooking you are. I literally season and sauce the ...
Chicken Francese
Chicken Francese This was another dish inspired by the need for speed! Working full time and having a family has made me more efficient in the ‘getting things done quickly’ department for sure! That doesn’t mean I’m going to let my healthy eating go by the “weigh”-side!!! This dish is fast, fast, fast and can be prepared based on a well-stocked ...
Pasta with Chicken and Vegetables in Tomato Sauce
Pasta with Chicken and Vegetables in Tomato Sauce This is an easy, everyday chicken cacciatore that comes together with a homemade tomato sauce in around 40 minutes. I went with fettuccine but feel free to go with whatever pasta you have on hand. So I’ve been doing things a little differently; I’ve been cooking the chicken breasts whole ...
Mustard, Lemon and Fresh Herb Chicken
Mustard, Lemon and Fresh Herb Chicken I was at my parent’s house last week and when I asked my mother what she wanted us to make for dinner, she replied (again) that she had a whole chicken (again)… did I mention, again? I’ve been challenged with coming up with new ways to use a whole chicken lately! This recipe was a huge success and by ...
Japanese Style Chicken Tenders
Japanese Style Chicken Tenders This is a variation of my Chicken Tenders Recipe, I mention it’s versatility and I do love to be right! Its juicy chicken is complimented by Panko and spices and then its served with my Spicy Asian BBQ sauce! My original recipe is so old, it predates photos! I'm feeling lost and nostalgic these days. I guess ...
Spicy Linguine with Sausage in a Rose Sauce
Spicy Linguine with Sausage in a Rose Sauce My friend asked me to make a dish inspired by her. I chose spicy because she’s spunky and I went with a rose sauce because she really likes Alfredo sauce. Kelly, this one’s for you :) A recipe for Spicy Linguine with Sausage in a Rose Sauce, inspired by my feisty friend ...
Copycat Alice Springs Chicken
Copycat Alice Springs Chicken Have you ever had Alice Spring’s Chicken? I haven’t 🤣. I just keep seeing recipes for it so then I set out to make my own version. I still consider it copy cat though. I tried sautéing the mushrooms in some of the bacon drippings but honestly I couldn’t taste a difference so just sauté your mushrooms anyway ...
Dry Roasted Chicken Wings
Dry Roasted Chicken Wings This is an adaptation of Chef Michael Smith’s recipe for roasted wings. We’ve all had a few too many and downed a few too many wings! This recipe definitely makes those yummy wings less naughty. ...
