Tenderly Tangy Chicken Thighs
I had the idea to marinate chicken in yogurt a few weeks ago. Then I saw Alex Guarnaschelli do it during her demo at the South Beach Wine and Food Festival, and I was sold on the idea (by the way, hers was the best demo I have ever seen - this woman rocked!). She barbecued a whole chicken, I roasted mine. In any case, this recipe is very practical because it's easy, healthy and cheap!

Moroccan Split Pea Stew

Adding spices is the best way to make food that is flavorful with little to no fat - that's how this dish went from ordinary to Moroccan. I am a huge fan of legumes (beans, lentils, chickpeas) because they are very nutritious and you can make a lot for very little money. Cook once, enjoy over and over.

Couscous 
con Pollo
Here is a cool twist on the Latin classic, Arroz con Pollo. This dish tastes just as rich and delicious as the original, but it comes together a bit faster. It's also a bit healthier.

Blue Corn Tortilla Chicken Soup
What I really want to call this is "Everything but the Kitchen Sink Soup," but it turned into something a little nicer sounding in the process. I've been making this soup for years, always using whatever ingredients I have on hand. This time, it turned out tasty enough to deserve a spot in my recipe index.

Chunky Curried Chicken Salad
Chicken salad has earned a bad rep because it's usually smothered in mayonnaise. I'm here to change that!

The Queen's Chicken Salad 
...or as I know it best, Reina Pepiada. This traditional Venezuelan dish consists of an avocado chicken salad stuffed inside of a crispy arepa. Rich, creamy, and so very healthy! The salad is also perfect between whole grain bread.

Bistro Style Crispy Citrus Chicken 
This recipe uses whole wheat bread crumbs and very little olive oil to achieve crunchy, golden goodness. Top this low fat baked or pan-fried (your choice!) chicken with fresh greens for a healthy, and very gourmet, meal.

D.I.Y. Take Out: Orange Chicken
My version of this Asian favorite uses whole wheat bread crumbs and very little olive oil to achieve crunchy, golden goodness. Fresh squeezed orange juice and honey make the delicious glaze.
