chicken and broccoli with capers and wine sauce

Why is it that everything with wine taste better? This sauce is no exception. Add capers and it is even better. This recipe is my version of the American chicken piccata (or picatta), which in turn is a version of the Italian veal piccata. Receita em português no final do post :)

chicken with spinach feta sauce

This is another delicious creamy sauce chicken recipe. This time the star of the sauce is the Feta cheese and the healthy ingredient is the spinach. However the heavy cream is what blends everything together and makes this sauce really special.

Chicken and Vegetables Stir Fry

You want to know how to make a Stir Fry? A Chicken and Vegetables Stir Fry? Mom Amelia will teach you.

Stir Fry is a traditional way of cooking Asian food that means frying in hot oil while tossing them around in a wok. I love stir frying! I move those veggies in the wok very seriously pretending I'm way more skilled than I really am. There are actually different stir fry techniques, but they are beyond my understanding.

My son loves chicken and so I am on a mission to find easy and healthy recipes for him. This is one of them.

Thai Chicken Curry

This Thai chicken curry is very quick and easy to make and it's sure to bring some warmth to any cold rainy day or make a sunny day even brighter.

Quick, easy and delicious are the magic words of this recipe.

Chicken with Honey and Mustard Sauce

This chicken has rich flavors. It's sweet because of the honey and also sharp and pungent because of the mustard. The soy sauce brings a pleasant savory taste and the mayonnaise blends it all together harmoniously.

Creamy Chicken with Garlic and Wine

If you like garlic and French cuisine you will love this recipe. It is creamy and garlicky, what else could you ask for? It's simple to make and elegant. Of course, it's French cuisine.

Chicken and Cheese Flat Tortilla

You don't know what to do with your leftover chicken? I can tell you right now. Use it to make this delicious chicken and cheese quesadilla. Simple, easy, fast!

A quesadilla is actually a wheat or corn tortilla filled with a savory filling and folded in the middle. So the end shape is a half circle. But there is so much you can do with those tortillas and why not have a mix of sweet and sour like my recipe? I also think that by frying the quesadilla gives it extra flavors and color.

Easiest Chicken Stew Ever

This is a recipe dedicated to my son who thinks peeling and chopping an onion is worse than cleaning cat litter box. So no chopping onions and neither crushing garlic. My solution to have this chicken have some taste is to use the 'Traditional Marinara Sauce' that I get at Trader Joe's . I'm obsessed with this sauce. Why? Because of the ingredients it does not have. It does not have sugar and neither any artificial color, flavor or preservatives. Can you believe that? Of course seasoning the chicken with soy sauce also helps to add more taste to this dish.

Chicken Stew Brazilian style / Ensopado de Galinha

There are so many recipes of chicken stew and it all comes down to how you season the chicken and the spices and seasonings you use. Garlic, onion and tomato are usually the basis of my cuisine, which is very common in Brazil, at least in Rio where I come from.

Ridiculously Easy Low-fat Healthy Pan Grilled Chicken

All you need for a delicious low-fat (the magic word), healthy (another magic word), pan grilled chicken is to marinate the chicken in Soy Sauce and grill it on a grill pan. That's all. If you don't have a grill pan I highly recommend getting one.

A lot of people get scared when they look at a recipe and there are more than 6 ingredients. Well this does not happen in this recipe unless you want to get creative, which I did a tiny little bit.

What You Need:

1 lb chicken cut in small pieces (you can also use legs and thighs)
1 packet of onion soup
1 can beer - I like Coors Light but any light beer works
1 tablespoon butter to fry the chicken

Optional:
Add baby carrots after you put the beer and let it cook together.
After the chicken cooks add 1 small can of mushrooms drained and 1 tablespoon dried parsley, or fresh of course. I love to add parsley to this dish because it adds color besides taste.

What To Do:

Gather your ingredients.

Melt the butter in a large saucepan over high heat.
Let it brown but not too much.

Add the chicken.

Keep stirring to cook the chicken in all sides.

Cook until the all the pieces turned from pink to beige. As the chicken cooks it might release a little bit of liquid, which is normal. Do not wait for the liquid to dry to add the onion soup.
