Chicken Afritada – Chicken Stew
This is based on the Filipino Afritada recipe which my family has gotten to simply calling chicken stew. Which, basically, is what it is. I like it because, well, you can only have fried chicken so often (their favorite), and this has both starch and vegetables and a hearty gravy all in one pot so it’s perfect for a quick and healthy weekday meal! You can pair it with rice as is our wont, or … Read entire article »
Lettuce Wrapped Chicken
This is an update to an old recipe which is a favorite in our house especially once the weather starts getting too hot to cook inside or out. It hasn’t got that hot yet though, the weather has been still pleasantly comfortable. Yet whenever I try to think of something light, refreshing and still filling, this recipe comes to mind. My husband does not bother with the lettuce cups or lettuce tacos as he calls it. … Read entire article »
Chicken in Puttanesca Sauce
I do love to cook, and I do love to try out new things. Lately though, it’s been a stretch to accomplish either of those things. I guess you can tell from the frequency of my food posts. Take for instance, chicken. I have been having such a love/hate relationship with chicken especially as some people in my house think that chicken should almost always be fried. Well I couldn’t stand to fry another damned chicken … Read entire article »
Chicken Stewed in Coconut Milk
My wandering blogger friend Sha posted this recipe on facebook and I just had to try it. I had all the ingredients on hand, and the process was easy enough for a weekday meal, so why not? This was a very tasty dish and my family love it! Their verdict? “It’s like chicken curry without the curry!” LOL! Leave it to them to sum up a seemingly exotic dish with one pronouncement! : Chicken Stewed in … Read entire article »
Arroz Caldo – Chicken Soup with Rice
All the rich foods of the holidays, and having a snowy after-Christmas morning had me yearning for something simple and comforting. I had cooked a very plain version of this dish for my sick daughter a couple of weeks ago. It was more plain rice porridge than what we Filipinos recognize as Arroz Caldo or Lugaw or Congee, no matter how it is called. The rice soup we know is usually adorned with a multitude … Read entire article »
Tinola: Chicken Soup for the Pinoy Soul
I had been looking forward to updating my tinola soup photo for a long time. See, when I first posted my Tinola recipe, I didn’t have any of the traditional vegetables to go with it. I had to make do with what I had (what my grocery store had) which was cabbage and bok choy. Any vegetable will work with this recipe, actually as evidenced by the pink version where I used an even more … Read entire article »
Curry Noodles
We had this as a quick weekday meal last week. Whether you have it over rice or noodles, it’s delicious in either case. I also realized, just before I started cooking, that I was out of coconut milk which is what I usually use when I make chicken curry. Even without the coconut milk, it was still delicious. The family decreed that it tasted different but was just as good.Having it over rice noodles is what made this dish special. The green beans and the summer squash were from our garden. Also, when I cooked this dish, I made double the proportions provided below because I wanted to have enough left overs for another meal. We had curry over rice the next time around and it was still delicious. … Read entire article »

LP8 – Garlic Fried Chicken by Asi
Asi cooked this chicken but doesn’t have time to write it up as she has three projects she’s working on even though this week is their spring break. Of course, it doesn’t help that she doesn’t like to write and tries to avoid it as much as she can. This dish was the only way I could get my husband to eat chicken wings. He says he likes wings when fixed this way, and with these drumsticks, it was even more of a hit.This is very much like the fried version of adobo sans the soy sauce.
