Orange-Soy Chicken

I love Asian flavors; I love mixing and matching them and creating my own recipes.  This soy-garlic-green onion-ginger chicken was created on a pantry-raid. I had some chicken thighs in the fridge and threw some things together into a bowl. The flavors are pretty subtle and the marinade is cooked down and turned into a glaze for the chicken at the end. I suggest serving this chicken with some jasmine rice or some sautéed snow peas and carrots on the side.

I had leftovers the next day, so I chopped up the chicken and tossed it with some greens, red onions, peppers, bean sprouts and sesame vinaigrette. It was light and satisfying and yummy.

Chipotle-Lime Chicken

I went for a Southwestern-themed dinner the other night: spicy chipotle chicken, corn and black bean salsa, and margaritas! We’ve been experiencing some screwy weather in New Jersey lately – cool fall days mixed with hot summery days. I made this chicken on one of those 85° days and we even grilled outside, but you could just as easily cook the chicken on a grill pan or in the oven. The chipotle-lime marinade provides the chicken with a little bit of spice and some bite, but it’s not a very overpowering flavor.

Tandoori-Style Chicken

I decided to do an Indian theme for dinner the other night so I chose a tandoori-style chicken and some oven-roasted vegetables. This recipe can be made with breasts or thighs. It tastes a lot like tandoori chicken to me, the only difference being that this wasn’t cooked in a tandoori oven. I made it on the grill, but it would also work in a really hot oven. It would taste great with a side of couscous or basmati rice.
