TOM YUM GAI (THAI HOT & SOUR CHICKEN SOUP)
This is our version of the hot and sour soup, modified to taste as much as possible like the wonderful version we would get at our favorite Thai restaurant, Bahn Na, in Ypsilanti, MI. I've included the modifications (*) that make it vegetarian-friendly. A note about the fish sauce: this can be purchased from any Asian grocery, and I would recommend just about any that come in a glass bottle - they generally taste better.

Steps:

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Melt the butter in a large saute pan over medium heat. Cook the onions, carrots, and celery with salt and pepper, to taste, until the carrots soften, about 10 minutes. Add the garlic and thyme and cook for an additional minute, stirring frequently. Add the flour and cook off the raw flavor, about 1 minute more. Turn up the heat to medium-high and deglaze the pan with the wine. Whisk in the stock and Dijon mustard. Add the peas and chicken(if making vegetarian you can use more veggies or tofu, seitan, mushrooms are good in it too) and cook on a very low simmer until the sauce thickens up into a gravy, 5-10 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside.
- On a lightly floured surface, unfold the pastry dough and cut into 4 even squares (cut once horizontally and once vertically). Gently roll out each square, increasing the size of the square by about 20 percent with a rolling pin. Place the squares on a baking sheet and spoon the chicken mixture in the center. Fold the squares diagonally to create triangles. Pinch the edges together to create turnovers (use a little water on the edges to bind). Press the edges with a fork to create a decorative border. Whisk the egg with a splash of water and brush the turnovers with the egg wash. Cut a small slit in the top to allow the steam to escape during baking.
- Bake the turnovers until golden brown, about 30 minutes. Let cool at least 10 minutes before serving as the insides will be very hot. Enjoy!
- Note:.
- To make this vegetarian, use vegetarian "chicken" or just use more veggies.
SPICY COUSCOUS WITH SHRIMP CHICKEN AND CHORIZO ..AKA YUM!
I just had to add this recipe! My husband and I love it and we absolutely cook it at least once a month..if not more! It can get kind of spicy so beware of how much spice you like and alter the amount! This recipe is based off of one I saw on the Rachael Ray talk show..but I never could find the actual recipe so its just what I can remember from some notes I jotted down!! ** I usually don't have the Saffron and this is just as great without it, so don't fret if you don't have that spice because its outrageously expensive!

HOLY YUM CHICKEN RECIPE - (4.3/5)

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 450° . Line a 8x8" oven-proof pan with 2 layers of tin foil. Place the chicken thighs in the foil layered pan. In a small bowl, whisk together Dijon mustard, maple syrup, rice wine vinegar, salt and pepper. Pour the mixture on top of the chicken. Turn the chicken around in the sauce to make sure it gets all coated. Bake, uncovered, for 40 minutes. Remove from oven and let chicken sit for 5 minutes then transfer to a plate. Do not discard the liquid. Immediately after plating chicken, whisk in the cornstarch into the liquid in the pan. You'll create a nice, thick sauce to drizzle over your chicken. Sprinkle rosemary on top before serving. NOTE: You need to do cornstarch mixing immediately because the liquid needs to be hot in order for it to thicken properly. If it's still not thickening after 1 tablespoon, you can add a little more.
YUM YUM CHICKEN CURRY
We made this last night and it was fantastic; it came from a recent magazine recipe, but we made some changes (per reader feedback) and I wanted to jot down how I did it - it was very, very good, but keep in mind - you can't forget the lemon. It wasn't as good til we added lemon (which was supposed to be in there but I forgot). It is fairly spicey, I would adjust spice levels to taste. Also, serve this over basmati rice.

THAI COCONUT CHICKEN SOUP (TOM YUM GAI)
My own version of tom yum gai--with simple ingredients, and no need to go buy red curry paste! This soup was flavorful but mild, enjoyed by us and our 5- and 1-year-old kids. But don't be afraid to add some more Sriracha hot sauce to yours if you like some spice!

Steps:
- 1. Dice and chicken breasts, put in a Ziploc bag and pour fajita seasoning. Fry chicken until almost cooked. Add in cream cheese, and finish cooking the chicken. Cook rice, add in to pan. Then add in corn, black beans and olives, stir in taco sauce. Leave on low for about 10 mins or until the veggies are cooked.
Tips:
- Choose the right chicken:
- Use boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs for a quick and easy meal.
- If you prefer dark meat, use bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs.
- Make sure the chicken is cooked through:
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature of the chicken has reached 165°F (74°C).
- Never eat raw or undercooked chicken.
- Use a flavorful marinade or sauce:
- Marinating the chicken for at least 30 minutes will help infuse it with flavor.
- You can also use a flavorful sauce to coat the chicken while it cooks.
- Don't overcrowd the pan:
- Make sure there is enough space in the pan for the chicken to cook evenly.
- If the pan is too crowded, the chicken will steam instead of fry.
- Cook the chicken over medium heat:
- Cooking the chicken over medium heat will help it cook evenly without burning.
- Adjust the heat as needed to prevent the chicken from burning.
