We have made a soy sauce-based version of ginisang baguio beans for years, but we decided to try this recipe, which utilizes fish sauce and fresh tomato: https://panlasangpinoy.com/ginisang-baguio-beans-pork/. We enjoyed this recipe a lot and prefer its flavor profile to the soy-based version (which was less complex). Our modifications: first, we used minced chicken instead…… Continue reading Filipino minced chicken with green beans (ginisang baguio beans)

Matzoh ball soup from frozen chicken, pressure cooker style
In our household, we routinely freeze extra pieces of raw chicken, including bits of fat and skin (e.g., chicken backs leftover from packages of chicken quarters). Today we made chicken soup from frozen, bone-in, skin-on chicken pieces (3 wings, 1 chicken thigh, 2 drumsticks, 3 chicken backs and leftover fat / skin trimmings); carrots, celery,…… Continue reading Matzoh ball soup from frozen chicken, pressure cooker style
Seared lemon-pepper chicken breasts
This NYT recipe sounded intriguing, so we tried it this evening: https://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1026851-lemon-pepper-chicken-breasts?smid=ck-recipe-iOS-share We served it with roasted broccolini and jasmine rice (not shown). This was enjoyable to eat, but we found the lemon butter garlic sauce heavy and gratuitous. This was a tasty dish. (May 2025)
Lemon herb roasted chicken with potatoes and asparagus
We spotted this recipe from Instagram and decided to try it: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DIaSusnhCLA/?igsh=MTFsb3hkZjNpY210OA== The instructions were scant (and sometimes inconsistent with the video), but we followed the ingredient list in the second photo (below). Our modifications: first, due to our overly sensitive smoke alarm, we used canola oil instead of olive oil based on our overly…… Continue reading Lemon herb roasted chicken with potatoes and asparagus
Japanese curry with chicken meatballs, sweet potato, and Swiss chard
We had an extra bunch of Swiss chard, and we decided to try this recipe for the leaves (no stems): https://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1026680-japanese-curry-with-chicken-meatballs?smid=ck-recipe-iOS-share This was a delicious dish, with an unexpected combination of sweet potatoes and greens that worked well. Our modifications: first, for the meatball mixture, we followed reader suggestions to increase the panko from 1/2…… Continue reading Japanese curry with chicken meatballs, sweet potato, and Swiss chard
Chicken meatballs in soy-honey glaze
We had leftover soy-honey glaze from chicken drumsticks: https://alexandracooks.com/2013/02/26/honey-soy-chicken-drumsticks-thighs-or-wings/. The glaze was so delicious that we couldn’t toss the remaining 8 oz (about 1/2 the amount of sauce needed). We decided to repurpose the sauce. First, we made chicken meatballs (but not the sauce) from this recipe: https://www.cookedandloved.com/recipes/chicken-meatballs-honey-garlic-soy-sauce/ Second, using the first recipe, we made…… Continue reading Chicken meatballs in soy-honey glaze
Turkey mini-pot pies
My husband loves chicken pot pie. We decided to try this recipe for Thanksgiving leftovers: https://www.jessicagavin.com/turkey-pot-pie/ We found that one single recipe (not doubling it) was more than enough for 6 ramekins and a small (14″) Le Creuset oval casserole dish. We still had 1 cup of unused filling leftover. For the filling, we found…… Continue reading Turkey mini-pot pies
Pierre Franey’s Turkey Chili
We had 1 lb of minced turkey (white and dark meat), so we tried this recipe: https://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/7985-turkey-chili?smid=ck-recipe-iOS-share Our modifications: first, we halved the recipe. Second, in lieu of bell pepper plus jalapeño pepper, we used three diced jalapeños (from our freezer). Third, we used no-salt canned diced tomatoes and kidney beans. Finally, in addition to…… Continue reading Pierre Franey’s Turkey Chili
Rotisserie chicken and rice soup
We had leftover rotisserie chicken and decided to try this recipe: https://thecafesucrefarine.com/the-best-chicken-and-rice-soup/ We largely followed the recipe except for a few modifications: first, we did not have Italian seasoning on hand, so we used a mix of dried herbs: basil, rosemary, Greek oregano, crushed red pepper, and garlic powder. Second, instead of 12 oz carrots…… Continue reading Rotisserie chicken and rice soup
Chicken curry puffs
We don’t make savory pastries often, but we had a craving this weekend. We tried this recipe: https://onolicioushawaii.com/curry-puffs/ Our modifications: first, instead of 3 boneless, skinless chicken thighs, we used 1 lb minced chicken. We also used 2 medium yukon potatoes and 1 medium onion. We found the seasoning (1 Tbsp S&B curry powder, 2…… Continue reading Chicken curry puffs
