Refreshed Chicken Cacciatore

This updated version of “hunter’s chicken” is made with a lighter hand and bolder flavors. Serve over hot cooked farro or Israeli couscous.

Vietnamese Lemongrass Chicken w/ Glass Noodles

This recipe is a “have it all” taste experience. Vietnamese cuisine is known for encompassing contrasting flavors of savory-sweet-tart-salty-umami, with a final burst of freshness in the generous topping of herb leaves.

Chicken Caponata Rigatoni

Experiment with different varieties of eggplant if you see them at the grocery or farmer’s market—don’t let the unique shapes and colors stop you, as any type is delicious. This rich stew is lovely spooned over soft corn polenta, or even over toasted baguette slices.

Sizzling Chicken Ratatouille Platter

Ratatouille is a classic French melding of harvest vegetables, starring creamy eggplant, sweet bell peppers, small zucchini, and sweetly-ripe tomatoes. The recipe varies, from a stovetop stew to a grilled platter of tender and slightly charred veggies. Mediterranean herbs—oregano, thyme, rosemary, and lavender—often scent this blend of sun-kissed vegetables. Add some rich chicken thighs, brushed with an olive vinaigrette, to round out a perfect patio meal.

Tunisian Chicken Couscous with Green Harissa

Traditional harissa is an incendiary red spice paste that’s stirred into couscous dishes. This green version is not quite as hot and adds a lovely herbal note to this flavorful one dish meal. Serve the chicken stew over the couscous in shallow bowls, garnishing with a spoonful of the green sauce and some sweet red grape halves, golden raisins, or toasted slivered almonds.

Picadillo Cuban Chicken Stew

The pairing of spices, dried fruit, and salty brined olives or capers with meat is distinctly Spanish—and is a favorite way to season ground meat in Cuba. A slow-cooked chicken stew seasoned up the same way is warming and really delicious if made a day ahead so the flavors bloom.

Chicken Pasta with Asparagus Pesto

Fusilli bucati are long corkscrews of pasta, very fun to wind around your fork, thickly coated with a creamy sauce and studded with chunks of chicken and tender spring asparagus.
