Chicken is one of my favorite dishes and is the mainstay of my diet. I eat chicken at least 4 times a week, if not more. I have certain favorites and one of then is chicken piccata. I like to use boneless, skinless thighs  or chicken tenders when I create this scrumptious feast. It is [...]

One of my favorite meals is a spicy rubbed chicken that my neighbor Lise showed me how to make. She cooks it on a barbecue grill she inherited from me, though she uses wood instead of charcoal. After the chicken is cooked on one side, she places pitas on top to toast them while the [...]
