Chicken with Port and Figs

Sticky Grilled Drumsticks with Plum Sauce

Go to Recipe

Grace Parisi prepares a wonderfully sticky and nicely sweet glaze of fresh plums and red pepper jelly to brush over drumsticks while grilling. Hot red pepper jelly makes for a spicier glaze; sweet pepper jelly creates a milder one.

Maple-Glazed Chicken Breasts with Mustard Jus

Go to Recipe

Chef David Slater glazes chicken breasts with maple syrup, sherry vinegar and orange juice infused with anise and other spices. Then he serves them with a confited chicken leg, caramelized root vegetables, braised kale and crisp Benton's bacon. At home, glaze the chicken breasts with a sweet-tangy blend of syrup and vinegar and skip the confited leg and root vegetables.

Chicken and Mushroom Fricassee

Go to Recipe

This lightened up classic is fast to pull together--especially if you buy presliced mushrooms. It has a rich, slow-cooked flavor. A splash of cream makes it extra-decadent but still light.

Go to Recipe

Grace Parisi proves that making potpie doesn't have to take a long time with this one-skillet version, prepared with store-bought rotisserie chicken and--her stroke of brilliance--buttered white bread in place of the usual labor-intensive puff pastry crust.

Sliced Poached Chicken with Baby Turnips and Mushrooms

Credit: © Chris Court
Go to Recipe

This recipe employs a technique Hopkins often uses when cooking chicken for his family: He gently poaches an entire chicken in an herbed stock, then serves just the moist breast for dinner. You can use any combination of fresh herbs, but tarragon is especially fragrant in the broth.

Roast Chicken with Butternut Squash

Go to Recipe

Chicken quarters roasted with golden squash and sage are nice for a chilly autumn evening. To help the squash to brown evenly, be sure to spoon off the fat from the roasting pan after removing the breasts. This is a case where less is more: A thin layer of fat will brown the vegetable better than a quarter-inch of it.
