Chicken Nuggets like Chick-fil-A

Some huge Chik-fil-A fans I happen to know told me this recipe is not only just like it, but it is even better! They are delicious! There is an UNUSUAL MARINADE of milk mixed with pickle juice, believe it or not! Now don’t think “yuck” like I did! Ha-ha! It will give it that distinct flavor! You put the marinade in a Zip Lock bag…

Grilled Chicken Aglio e Olio with Broccoli and Mini Ziti ~ Low Calorie

Chicken with Broccoli and Ziti. It is a popular dish served in many restaurants and diners where I live on Long Island. The only thing is I think they make it with too much oil. The Aglio e Olio translates to Garlic and Oil. So Aglio e Olio is a base for many Italian dishes without tomato sauce. My version is LOW CALORIE, only 260…

Bill’s Smooth Chicken Salad

I know everyone has their own way to make chicken salad! For Bill’s Smooth Chicken Salad, I GRATE the chicken in a food processor while it is still WARM so the chicken ends up minced and soft.

Margo’s Chicken and White Wine

Chef Margo’s recipe is DA-BOMB! This is BETTER than Chicken Francaise! Lots of White Wine and drippings make a good amount of scrumptious gravy to pour over rice or whatever else you choose. Margo, my friend and co-worker, is a former restaurant owner and chef. Typical of many great chefs, she wrote “a little of this and that”  “sprinkle all over”  on paper for me….

Stewed Chicken in Tomatoes

One of my very favorite ways to have chicken is stewed in tomatoes! It is so simple and so amazingly delicious! No vegetables are in it except tomatoes, so it does not taste like a cacciatore. But stewing the chicken in tomatoes gives it a whole new tender texture and great taste throughout the meat!  This is one of my old-world recipes I just love! My great-aunt…
