JERK CHICKEN - FAST, EASY AND DELICIOUS
We love spicy foods and tender juicy chicken. This recipe is great combination of both. If you have children, simply omit the Jerk Sauce from their portion. Keep in mind that you can make this recipe as spicy or as mild as you wish by simply adjusting the marination time or adding dry Jerk Seasoning to the marinade to kick it up. I love to serve my Garlic Fry recipe with this dish and a nice salad. Note that this recipe works great for boneless, skinless chicken breast and I have also used it on pork cuts. Prep time does not include overnight marination.

CHICKEN SHERRY (EASY AND SUPER DELICIOUS)
I created this very easy recipe many years ago that everyone has loved. Many years ago, for a short while, I was the chef at the Governor's Mansion in Atlanta for Governor and First Lady Busbee. Jackie Kennedy had been a dinner guest when I served this recipe, and she wanted to give it to her chef. I refused and Jackie was furious to say the least. She went to her grave never getting this recipe, and now that I am posting it on RecipeZaar, the entire world will have it. Even a beginner cook can make this recipe.

JHAL FREZI CHICKEN--EASY AND DELICIOUS!
This is an easy and delicious Pakistani/Indian recipe that is wonderful with any kind of Pakistani/Indian or Middle Eastern bread (chapati, naan, roti, pita, and if you just can't find/make any, then even soft tortillas) or basmati rice. "Jhal Frezi" means "dry fry" so there is not a lot of sauce when this is finished. You can find most spices in the spice section at your grocery store but you can get more for the same prices at an Indian/Middle Eastern market.

Tips:
- Choose the right cut of chicken: For best results, use boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs. These cuts are lean and cook quickly.
- Marinate the chicken: Marinating the chicken in a flavorful mixture of herbs, spices, and oil helps to tenderize and infuse it with flavor.
- Use a nonstick skillet: A nonstick skillet will help to prevent the chicken from sticking and burning.
- Cook the chicken over medium heat: Cooking the chicken over medium heat will help to prevent it from drying out.
- Use a meat thermometer: To ensure that the chicken is cooked through, insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the chicken. The internal temperature should read 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Let the chicken rest: After cooking, let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help to keep the juices in the chicken.

Following these tips, you can cook delicious and flavorful chicken dishes that your family and friends will love. With a little practice, you'll be able to master the art of cooking chicken and impress your guests with your culinary skills.
