Chicken breast adds plenty of protein but not much fat to this version of ajiaco, a cilantro-scented chicken soup that's virtually Colombia's national dish. Stirring in fiber-rich brown rice turns the soup into a satisfying one-dish meal.
This is the kind of dish that I like to serve at dinner parties simply because it can be prepared well in advance and then popped into the oven before your guests arrive.
So I mentioned this spaghetti squash alfredo the other day. Along with a comment about exploding spaghetti squash. I certainly didn’t mean to scare you off from this recipe! So I will explain…
These have the perfect combination of flavors and taste absolutely delicious! They do have a little kick to them, so if you don’t like things spicy make sure to take out the chili powder and cumin.
Chorizo and fish work so well together. Make sure you use the best-quality chorizo you can find; it comes in spicy and sweet varieties, but I tend to always go for the spicy one! The pangrattato sprinkled on top adds a lovely crunchiness to the soup and is well worth the little bit of extra effort.
A riff on chicken Dijon, a classic pan-cooked dish involving mustard and heavy cream. You'll need 18 (8-in.) skewers; if they're wooden, soak in water for at least 1 hour before grilling so they don't splinter or burn.
