Snagged this one for both cold & warm weather fare. Plan to serve hot in winter & more room temp in summer. Food & Drink Weekly editors listed their Top Picks of 2008 – this recipe which they claim can be on the table done in 35 minutes made the cut. It was devised by the retiring former Test Kitchen director Donna Deane. Give the breasts a three-minute pan fry until they’re nearly done, and then in the same pan make a quick Basque-style sauce — tomatoes and olives and herbs, slightly smoky pancetta. It’s all fantastic with the perfectly cooked chicken breasts that are so tender the meat is almost silky. Note: From test kitchen director Donna Deane. Espelette pepper is available at specialty food stores. Substitute in smoked paprika or even cayenne if needed. You can substitute canned San Marzano tomatoes for fresh tomatoes.
I made homemade lentil soup for the first time, and this recipe is a keeper. The potato and sausage add a lot of texture and flavor to this dish. The recipe says it’s best when it’s made 24 hours in advance. All I can say is if it’s this good today, I can’t wait for tomorrow. If you don’t have chorizo use any other spicy sausage like linguica.

However, if you find yourself going back for additional servings like I did, I suppose it would serve 4 to 6.
Not your typical chicken recipe! If you are tired of cooking the same old chicken recipes — try this one ! This one is from “Joy”. It is sophisticated and extremely flavourful. I use chicken thighs. I find them to have the most robust flavour of all chicken parts. The sauce is outstanding if you add some chilies and you will likely have some left over (it is great for a quick pasta dinner the next night). I am a novice cook and this dish really made me feel like a pro !
I recently found this recipe in a local Newspaper. I made it that same Night, and loved it. I used boneless, skinless chicken thighs in this recipe and that worked out wonderfully. It may seem like a long cooking time, but this is well worth the effort.
A tasty and refreshing salad. Nice to prepare ahead for company. An adaptation of a recipe from Marilyn Perzik on Allrecipes.com. I like to sprinkle the croutons on individual servings just before eating.
