Curried Chicken Salad
Curried Chicken Salad is savory, a little sweet, and one of the tastiest chicken salads I know. It’s great on a croissant, atop butter lettuce, or on an endive leaf as a pick-up hors d'oeuvre. It’s also really good piled on crispy crackers, eaten standing over the...
Báhn Mì Sandwiches

Classic Chicken Pie with Crunchy Topping
So, I know I say this all the time, and it’s probably getting irritating, but our Chicken Pies were pretty popular at the catering shop. We always tried to have Chicken Pie of some sort in the coolers, and we had several versions--Broccoli and Cheddar Chicken Pie,...

Greek Chicken Meatballs
I’ve been thinking about Greek Chicken Meatballs for a while. I’ve had them and liked them, but I’ve never made them until yesterday. I was flipping through a Greek cookbook and happened upon a recipe. I’m sure those meatballs were authentic, but the recipe had a...

Princess Persnickety and I have a new favorite summertime dinner: Lemony Chicken Flatbread. Why do we like it so much? First, it’s refreshing and delicious. Second, it’s ridiculously easy and requires next to no work to prepare. Third, it’s one of those...
Chicken Souvlaki
Yum--Chicken Souvlaki. I make it frequently in the summer. If you’re not familiar with it, souvlaki is Greek street food. I first tasted it in college at an international food fair. When I had my own kitchen, I checked a Greek cookbook out of the library and...
Chicken Ramen Noodle Salad with Mandarin Oranges
We've loved Ramen Noodle Salads here at Casa LCK for ages. If you’ve been to a barbecue/potluck/dinner-on-the-grounds affair in the last 25 years, chances are pretty good that you’ve had--or at least seen--ramen noodle salad before. If not, the very idea may be,...
