Chicken & Chickpea Curry A fast and healthy weeknight dinner. Omit the chicken for a great vegetarian main dish! Serve with Naan and a side salad.
  1. Heat a dutch oven to high and add 2 tbsp olive oil. When the oil is hot, add the chicken and season with salt and pepper. Cook the chicken until cooked through, 6-8 minutes. Remove the chicken to a bowl. Do not wipe out the pan.
  2. Pulse jalapeno, garlic and ginger in a food processor until minced. Scrape down the sides and pulse again. Add onion; pulse until finely chopped, but not watery.
  3. Heat remaining 2 tbsp oil in the dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the onion mixture and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 3 to 5 minutes. Add coriander, cumin and turmeric and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes.
  4. Pulse tomatoes in the food processor until finely chopped. Add to the pan along with sugar. Reduce heat to maintain a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, for 4 minutes. Add chickpeas, chicken and garam masala, season with salt & pepper, reduce heat to a gentle simmer, cover and cook, stirring occasionally, for at least 5 minutes, up to one hour. The longer it simmers, the better the flavor. Serve topped with cilantro, if desired.
  5. Can be made ahead by one day and reheated. Leftovers freeze up to 2 months.

Peking Chicken.  This filled the whole house with a great aroma and was so good.  The basting marinade is super simple:  Honey, soy sauce, tobasco & balsamic vinegar but it tastes really complex.  Continue reading Peking Chicken →

I love salads.  This is one of my favorites and I make it a lot in the summer.  You can work with whatever you have on hand.  If I have left over corn on the cob in the summer, I will slice it off the cob and add it to salads.  I also like to have some black beans in as well.  You can add any vegetables you like, use up what’s in that produce drawer!

You want to make sure you season the chicken really well so that each bite has some of the Cajun seasoning on it.   Enjoy! Continue reading Southwest Chicken Salad →
