There are few things chicken recipes can’t pair with. Whether you choose to go the sweet, savory, or tangy route – chicken will hold up to the challenge.
Unfortunately, many people tend to get stagnant with their poultry preparations. Perhaps we take for granted just how versatile this meat really is, or maybe we just feel safe with the recipes we’ve made over and over again. But instead of turning to your tried and true recipes, why not expand your culinary chicken knowledge?
Duplicate the flavors of Morocco, utilize the produce found in the sunny Mediterranean, give your taste buds a zap of heat, and make that cast iron skillet earn its place in your pantry! Gather your friends, family, or make a special dinner for one on a night in. Either way, you’ll never label chicken recipes as boring ever again.
