Curried Chicken Lettuce Wraps
This take on traditional chicken salad has received rave reviews wherever it's been served. I've even been able to convert my husband, who won't come within 10 feet of traditional chicken salad, into a "more please" kinda guy when I serve these curried chicken lettuce wraps for dinner! Also makes great leftovers as it tastes even better after a day or two!
Lentil Soup with Lemon
This lentil soup with lemon is made with chicken broth, carrot, onion, some spices, and a splash of lemon juice. It's delicious!
Duck à l'Orange
Duck à l'orange is one of those classic dishes that somehow became a cliché, and people stopped making it for fear of looking un-cool, which is too bad, since it's really good. This is traditionally done with a whole roasted duck, but by using duck breasts we get pretty much the same results in a lot less time.
