Rachael Ray’s Spicy Peruvian Chicken

OMG, Rachael Ray’s Spicy Peruvian Chicken should be right up there in the top chicken recipes in the world-it’s SO good! The spices are what makes this such a great dish.

Spicy Peruvian Chicken

The chicken has a really nice smoky flavor!

The smoked paprika and chipotle add the smoky flavor to the dish. The spices are really flavorful but not really hot.

I think the marinade would work well with pork or salmon and highly recommend this simple, stunning recipe!

Southern Homemade Chicken And Dumpling Soup

Homemade Chicken And Dumpling Soup is really good soup! Very flavorful and easy to make. The ingredients are things most people usually have on hand.

Chicken-and-Dumpling-Soup

Make these dumplings once and you will use this recipe again and again!

True southern dumplings are not light and fluffy but that is a matter of preference. This is a heavy dumpling, which I prefer. It’s the great flavor that I love!

Homemade Chicken And Dumpling Soup
Ingredients
  • 2 cups flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 3/4 cup ice water
  • 4 cups chicken stock
  • 4 carrots Chopped
  • 2 stalks celery Chopped
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1/2 teaspoon celery salt
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 1/2 teaspoon basil
  • 1/2 teaspoon oregano
  • 3 chicken breasts
  • 1/2 cup half-and-half
Instructions
  1. Start out by putting together the dough for your dumplings. Mix together the flour, salt and baking powder. Then slowly add in your ice water. Keep adding it in until you have enough to form a nice dough ball. Knead your dough for about 5 minutes and then set it the side and let it rest while you work on the other end of the soup.
  2. In a large pot add together your stock, chicken, carrots, celery, garlic, basil, oregano, and celery salt. Heat it up on medium heat and let the chicken cook through. When the chicken is cooked, remove it and set it to the side.
  3. Now grab up your dough and roll it out about 1/4" thick with your rolling pin. Cut it into small squares and place them in your hot broth. As they cook up, they will rise to the top of the broth.
  4. While your dumplings are cooking, go ahead and shred your chicken up. Add it to your soup. Last but not least, add in the half and half and give it a couple swirls around the pan to incorporate everything together.

Enjoy!

Grilled Chicken With Cilantro Marinade

Grilled-Chicken-With-Cilant

This Grilled Chicken With Cilantro Marinade has become a quick and easy favorite that I frequently make on the grill. Despite the ease of prep, it is bursting with flavor.

The chicken comes out so tender, moist and flavorful — which is really saying something for boneless and skinless chicken breasts.

Be sure to Like Foodgasm Recipes on Facebook and Foodgasm on Pinterest for more great recipes.

Grilled Chicken With Cilantro Marinade

Ingredients

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts

For the Cilantro Marinade

1 -2 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
1 garlic clove, minced (I use more)
1 lime, zest of
2 -3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1⁄4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
1⁄2 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Mix together the marinade ingredients in a deep bowl. Add the chicken breasts and turn to coat completely. Cover the bowl and refrigerate.

Marinade for about 1 hour. You can leave the chicken in the marinade longer, but because the mixture is very acidic, the chicken will begin to appear poached.

Preheat your grill. Cook the chicken over medium hot coals for about 3-5 minutes per side.

Serve and enjoy.

Ingredients
  • 1 1/2 cups dry red wine
  • 1 cup dark brown sugar packed
  • 2 tablespoons dark brown sugar packed
  • 1/2 cup sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons ginger finely grated fresh
  • 1 garlic clove minced

Beer Can Chicken With A Twist

You won’t believe the dry rub ingredients in this beer can chicken recipe. It sounds bizarre but I guarantee it blends into a delicious combination.

Beer Can Chicken

This chicken really rocks. It was the rub ingredients that prompted me to try the recipe, but it’s the way it tastes that’s going to have me making this again and again.

Be sure to Like Foodgasm Recipes on Facebook for more great recipes.

Beer Can Chicken With A Twist
Ingredients
  • 1 large chicken
  • 1/2 can beer 6 ounces of a 12 ounce can, any brand, any variety
  • 1/3 cup paprika
  • 1/3 cup salt
  • 1/3 cup black pepper
  • 2/3 cup packed brown sugar
Instructions
  1. Rinse the chicken in cold water and pat very dry, inside and out with paper toweling.
  2. Mix the 4 dry ingredients together. Use this rub inside and out of the cleaned, dry chicken. Be generous.
  3. Place 1/2 can of beer in the center of a roasting pan. Position"bottom" of chicken over beer and slide chicken over the can of beer until the chicken is"sitting" upright in the pan. The fit will be snug and chicken will be secure.
  4. Roast uncovered at 350 degrees for 1 hour. Do not baste and do not turn the pan. The beer will steam the chicken deliciously.
  5. When done, carefully remove the can of beer from the chicken and serve.

I have cooked 2 or 3 chickens in the same roaster and did not have to adjust cooking time.

This melt-in-your-mouth chicken will get you some rave reviews. Guaranteed!!!

Enjoy!
