Lemon Chicken Thighs (GF, Keto)
Several years ago, the French-Canadian chef at The Epicurean (a now-closed bistro in Latham, New York) taught me how to infuse ordinary chicken thighs with THE most intoxicating flavor and perfume. The trick? Simply tuck a thin slice of lemon beneath the skin of each … [Read more...]
Chicken in Herbs and Brown Butter (Keto)
Yesterday, I filmed one of my all-time favorite recipes: Chicken in Herbs and Brown Butter. I think you'll love this classic dish, because it's both fast to make (about 20 minutes from start to finish) and pure poetry to eat. The chicken, which starts out in a skillet … [Read more...]

Asian Chicken and Veggies Sheet Pan Dinner
Anyone else remember the "jello salad" craze of the early 1970s? My mother (and my friends' mothers, too) embraced the trend with particular zeal. For church pot-lucks, she'd make a molded, neon-green "aspic" in which shredded coconut, mini marshmallows, and canned … [Read more...]
Chicken in Tarragon Cream
Not to name-drop (okay, precisely to name-drop!), but I served this dish to film director James Ivory ("Howard's End," "Room With a View," etc.) for his birthday one year. James loved it, as did everyone else at the table. It's a one-skillet dinner of chicken and … [Read more...]
