Bonus: Cook Once, Eat Twice. This makes extra chicken, so you've got a start on tomorrow's pasta toss. If you're not planning on the Day-Two menu, cook only four breasts.
The toasted walnut crunch adds welcome texture to these burgers.
These kabobs make great party food for a backyard gathering. If you like, substitute ground lamb for the beef for an authentic Middle-Eastern taste. Serve with pitas warmed on the grill and cucumber yogurt sauce.
It's usually not difficult to get kids to eat a taco, nor will it be for this meal that's packed with the same flavours and has fun curlicue noodles. Teens and tweens just might be inspired to cook this one themselves.
Here, chicken is smothered in an intense tomato sauce enlivened with piquant sun-dried tomatoes. Not covering the pan while cooking allows the sauce to reduce and thicken. Serve with pasta or potatoes — or, even better, potato gnocchi.
Serve with Corn on the Cob and Pepper Rice (see recipe links below).
The herbs and spices used in chorizo, a highly seasoned Mexican fresh pork sausage, highlight this slightly piquant patty. If you prefer a burger with tongue-tingling heat, increase the cayenne pepper to 1 tsp (5 mL). Serve sandwiched in warm tortillas or whole wheat hamburger buns.
Add leaf lettuce, sliced cucumbers and chopped tomatoes to the pita for extra crunch, if desired.
