Chicken Soup with Mini Meatballs
This traditional dish, sometimes called Italian wedding soup, successfully marries the flavors of meats and greens. The spoon-size turkey meatballs in this version make it a real kid-pleaser and hearty enough to be a satisfying supper.
Chicken and Sausage Paella
Chicken and rice make a great combination for entertaining, as they please almost every palate. For this dish, we jazz up the duo with chorizo, a Spanish smoked sausage that is a staple in paella recipes. You can also use the more familiar (and less spicy) kielbasa.
Herbs de Provence Roasted Chicken
My family loves roasted chicken. Not only is it a healthy and flavorful meal, but most of the time it's an inexpensive option for meals as it often feeds my family more than once. The best thing about roasting a whole chicken is that it's a blank slate for many flavor combinations -- you can create lots of variations. One of our favorite roasted chicken recipes is a simple one using dried Herbs de Provence, a blend of aromatic herbs from the southern hills of France that include a mixture of bay leaf, thyme, rosemary, chervil, oregano, tarragon, marjoram, and lavender.
