I love chicken involtini. Well, to be honest I love all involtini, especially when they are filled with cheese! I am always looking for different stuffing. In this case, I filled the rolls with Fontina cheese and smokey Italian Speck. I then cooked them with peas and a little bit of cream – mainly to…
Shredded Chicken Salad with Ranch Dressing
It must be quite hot up in the Northern hemisphere. It’s the middle of winter here in Australia, but as it never really gets “cold” (not the cold I am used to anyway), I still like to have salads, especially for lunch. Today’s salad is a very easy one and it uses leftover chicken. I…
Chicken with Black Olive Tapenade
I often cook chicken at home as it is my kids’ favourite kind of meat, so I know they will eat it without making a fuss. Today’s recipe is Chicken with Black Olive Tapenade and it is a variation of a Rabbit recipe I published a long time ago. In this case, I use chicken…
Chicken Scaloppine with Gorgonzola
Today’s recipe is a classic of Italian cuisine and one of my all time favourite dishes: Chicken Scaloppine with Gorgonzola. I absolutely adore Gorgonzola, so I love anything made with it! What are scaloppine (please not the spelling as I have seen it spelt in all sorts of ways on the Internet!)? They are thin…
Deconstructed Chicken Taco Salad
After sharing with you my recipe for Ranch Dressing, here is a fantastic idea on how to put it to good use: Deconstructed Chicken Taco Salad. Yes, you read that right. It’s like having tacos but in a salad form. And who doesn’t like tacos?? It’s got shredded chicken (I used my Roast Brined Chicken…
Mediterranean Grilled Chicken Salad
I often have salad for lunch and I like to jazz it up with different ingredients and flavours so as not to get too bored. Today I would like to share with you the recipe for a very satisfying salad made with grilled chicken. This is no ordinary grilled chicken though, it is marinated in…
Easy Chicken Tacos
My family’s favourite Sunday roast is my Roast Brined Chicken. It is very moist and because we all like it so much, I usually buy a big chicken so that we get leftovers for the following day. I usually make a classic Chicken Salad with the leftover chicken, but this time I thought of trying something…
Sticky Chinese 5 Spice Wings
You can never have enough chicken wings recipes! That’s one of my favourite mottos. They are great for entertaining and for footy night and I am yet to meet someone who doesn’t like them. Today’s recipe is delicious: sticky, sweet, spicy, tangy and hearty thanks to the Chinese 5 Spice Mix. These wings are baked…
Chicken 65
I love Indian food and I try to cook it as much as possible at home. I also love to eat out though and we recently tried out a new place, not too far from home. They had a dish on their menu that caught my attention: Chicken 65. The name was too intriguing, so…
Chicken Kabsa
For the month of October, Sawsan from Chef in Disguise challenged us to prepare a rice based main meal that represents our own culture, or one from a cuisine that we would like to explore. Now that’s the kind of Daring Cooks challenge I like! I love rice actually. At first I thought of making risotto,…
Skillet Pizza Chicken
My kids love pizza… I know, I know… who doesn’t? The thing is, when it comes to pizza, they are very picky. It must be their Italian genes… They also love chicken (it is their favourite source of protein), so I thought it would be a great idea to combine these 2 likes into a…
Chicken Karaage
Chicken Karaage is a classic Japanese fried chicken dish. It’s so popular in Japan that you can find it in all izakaya, depachika, supermarkets and street food stalls. In fact, we had quite a bit of Karaage during our Japanese holiday. One of my most vivid memories of our trip is eating Karaage under the…
Tsukune
I am back in Sydney, after a few weeks travelling around Japan and Italy! Hopefully you have followed my adventures on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram! I had an amazing time, visiting beautiful places, meeting family and friends and tasting awesome food! I will be sharing some of these adventures and photos in the next few…
Freekeh Soup
As you know, I am travelling at the moment, so I thought of asking some of my favourite food blogger friends to come over and share some of their amazing creations with all of you! I told you I would leave you in great company, right? I am double excited about today’s guest: Sawsan from…
Beer Braised Chicken Tenders
I always have chicken tenders in the freezer. Chicken is what my kids like to eat the most and tenders are very handy as they are very versatile and cook quite fast. The other day I had some beer in the fridge that begged to be used, so I whipped up a quick and delicious…
Asian Chicken Sliders with Sriracha Mayo
This weekend is all about Super Bowl food, so if you are like me and LOVE the kind of food that is served for such sporting events, you are in for a big treat! As you know, I don’t follow football and not living in the USA, also means no Super Bowl… but Italians are…
Chicken Spring Rolls
The other day, I decided to make Chicken Spring Rolls at home. I love spring rolls, but I often find them quite greasy and oily. That’s because they are not fried correctly, so they become soggy and absorb too much oil.
Pomegranate Chicken Wings
Chicken wings are among my favourite appetisers or party food. They can be made in so many different ways and they always taste delicious. I love mine baked, but because I coat them in a little bit of flour and bake them for a long time, the skin becomes as crunchy as if they were fried, sans…
Yakitori
Lately I have been on a bit of a Japanese food bender. I am discovering more and more dishes, and the more I discover, the more I love Japanese cuisine! There’s so much more than sushi (which I love too!). I had heard a lot about Yakitori – 焼き鳥, but I had never eaten them…
Chicken Involtini with Prosciutto and Fontina
Chicken is definitely the kind of meat we eat the most. My children like it more than any other meat and even though I have always preferred beef, I now enjoy it too. Being that we eat chicken often, I am always looking for different ways to serve it, so it doesn’t get too boring. …
Chicken and Sun dried Tomato Rolls #FridgeShelfies
Last week I blogged about PHILADELPHIA #FridgeShelfies, a campaign that wants to inspire Aussies to get more creative in the kitchen, with new and exciting recipes developed using the ingredients already in their fridges. I immediately loved the concept because, let’s face it, that’s what we have to do everyday. We open the fridge and…
Maple and Sriracha Chicken Wings #SundaySupper
Today’s post is all about “man food”. In honour of Father’s Day, this week’s Sunday Supper event is about recipes for food that men love to eat. To tell you the truth, it’s not Father’s Day here in Australia (we celebrate it in September), nor it is Father’s Day in Italy (that’s on June 19th –…
