Refreshed Chinese Chicken Salad
This winter salad is a fresh take on American-style Chinese chicken salads filled with canned mandarin oranges, almonds, and broken chow mein noodles. If you like the bitter-sweet flavor of kumquats, substitute them for the orange segments—just slice them, skin and all, and toss into the salad.

It’s easier now to find miniature ciabatta or grainy Kaiser rolls than ever before. Matching the right bread to the filling makes all the difference—taking a basic grilled chicken sandwich and making it special occasion fare.
Lemongrass Chicken Banh Mi Sandwiches

Oven Roasted Chicken And Veggies With Turmeric
A large half-sheet baking pan is an essential kitchen tool; fill them up with well-seasoned chicken and any combination of your favorite roasting veggies. The key to even cooking is being sure everything is cut up into similar sizes—and chicken thighs need a little longer to cook so team up well with root vegetables. One-pan dinners are not only efficient to make, they’re even easier to clean up.
