Bok Bok Bok Bok! Yep it’s chicken time again! Don’t act surprised. LOL You know I’m on a mission! Plus, I bought a few HUGE family packs of thighs & well I have to put them to good use! Up this time … it’s Pollo alla Birra {Chicken in Beer}. I’m not a beer drinker, I’m sure I’ve mentioned that before. You know I’m a wine girl myself. But this really doesn’t have an overwhelming BEER taste in it. Trust me, if so I wouldn’t be eating it. I know it calls for TWO whole cans of beer. Yes, it does. But it cooks down for like an hour people and reduces into this beautiful amazing sauce!
Yes it’s time for another chicken recipe! In my quest for 101 perfect poultry recipes I’m adding this one to the category! It’s amazing what you can do with chicken! Simply amazing. No more boring chicken ruts! Nope, not gonna happen on my watch ; ) This one will make your tummy & your pocketbook very happy!
Did you LURVE those Chocolate Truffle Brownies that Susan of Doughmesstic did for us earlier this week? Of course you did, what’s NOT to love, They’re ooey gooey chocolately truffly squares of deliciousness! Okay I’m trying to focus, but it’s so hard thinking about Chocolate (you know I’m weak)…
Anybody who knows me knows how I feel about salads. I just don’t like them. NOPE, sure don’t! Every one of them will tell you that I say, “Salad is rabbit food.” Yep, well I might have to change my stance on that now, well at least for this salad anyway. Perhaps it’s the spinach instead of the traditional lettuce that I like, or maybe it’s all of the sweet & sour flavors going on. I’m not sure but there’s just something about this salad that I LOVED!

It’s COLD today in my part of the world. Bone chilling COLD (well, okay, maybe not THAT cold, but cold to me) and what better way to warm up (besides downing Grappa LOL) than some Pollo alla Cacciatora {Chicken Cacciatore} It’s a perfect ONE DISH (happy dance, yeah, I HATE doing dishes so one dish meals make me happy) hearty satisfying meal.
Well, it’s here…2010! A whole brand new decade! & with each new year comes reflection and the dreaded resolutions! Of course one of mine was to get healthier. What does that mean? That means I want to eat better, feel better & well lets just be honest here, look better in my clothes. Yes, I said it & I feel better for saying it.
This is a chicken dish that takes a few ingredients and puts them together in a way you wouldn’t expect. The sauce is something to write home about. Seriously! It’s another insanely delicious dish from my Italian Poultry files. Pollo alla Senape is simply Chicken with Mustard. It’s pronounced Po-low all-a Sin-ah-pay but that’s really deceiving. It should be called Chicken with a creamy heavenly mustard sauce with traces of beer. But, well, that just doesn’t roll off the tongue like Pollo alla Senape does, now does it?
Hi, I’m Paula & I can’t get enough of chicken. Nope, there I said it. I feel so much better about sharing that (not that you couldn’t have figured that out by the sheer size of the poultry file here on bell’alimento). Whew! Perhaps I should start a group on Twitter or a Facebook Fan page. I’m sure I’m not the only one (considering again how very popular my chicken dishes are here) who wouldn’t mind admitting their chicken dependency too. I’m thinking of calling it “Chicks for Chicken” kinda has a nice ring to it, no?
So you’re thinking CHICKEN again Paula? Come on! Well, yes, it IS technically another chicken recipe but hold on, just because it’s chicken doesn’t have to mean bland or boring. You should know by now (if you’ve been following me on my culinary tales) that I don’t have your run-of-the-mill chicken recipes. Oh no, it’s one I know you’re going to want to put into your poultry files! It’s one that I’m fairly sure you probably don’t have. It’s Pollo allo Spumante. Pronounced Po-low all-oh Spu-mon-tay or Fizzy Chicken as I like to call it LOL! And I’m sure it’s one you’ll be coming back to again & again.
Are you ready for some luscious chicken? Well if not, just turn away now. Because this is one lusciously delicious dish! Pollo alla Crema is pronounced Po-low ah-la Cray-ma and, yes, as the name implies it’s oh so creamy & wait for it….succulent.
