Tired of the same ol' baked/grilled chicken...

I'm so tired of baked or grilled chicken. I would love some new recipes. Tonight, I have 4 leg quarters thawed to cook. I've done very baked herbed styled chicken imaginable. something new would be wonderful! I do not like salsa type sauces and I can't do tomato based foods at this time but anything else would be a nice welcome. Do you have a favorite recipe?

thanks so much!!!

I like to marinate mine in a marinade made up of equal parts orange juice and soy sauce [i use low sodium], along with 1 diced yellow onion. It gives it a teriyaki flavor without being sticky or overly sweet. Works well on the grill or can be baked. I also like using the leg quarters to make a chicken stew, place fingerling potatoes, mushrooms [cut into quarters], pearl onions, baby carrots in a dutch over, then place the chicken over the top, sprinkle 1/2 packet of dry italion seasoning over the chicken and bake for aprox 90 minutes at 400 degrees. When it is done, take the chicken out, debone and remove skin, mix with the veg's and serve.

thanks sunluvr - both of those sound good. I think I'll try the teriyaki one tonight since it is so hot here. I'll save the stew for cooler weather! Thanks again!

You're so welcome, hope you enjoyed it, I really like it on the grill, and with it being summer its the perfect way to keep the house cool!

Curry pastes are my best friend- either Indian or Thai ones. Part cook your chicken, then brush liberally with your chosen paste and serve with a good dollop of fat free natural yoghurt.

If you don't like things spicy- use pesto instead, which is also delicious )

these all sound great - unfortunately, we did not cook at all last night due to some last minute 'dang hate it when that happens' life things. I am definitely going to check out the goat cheese and the curry paste, too! thanks so much.

lilricki - you must sell arbonne - I used to but quit many moons ago.
