Poultry

This Chicken Trahanas Soup is creamy and nutritious because apart from its own qualities, many vegetables are also added to it.

Kotopita, which means chicken pie, is one of many types of Greek meat pites.  This particular meat pie is made with chicken and shaped into a galette.

This Teriyaki Chicken may not be very traditional but I cooked it with ingredients I had at home. It is easy to make, with low calories but with so much flavour coming from the orange glaze.

This delicious Turkey soup, which is one of my favorites, is made with the carcass of our roasted turkey, which we make during Christmas.

This Turkey Pie Roulade is made with homemade phyllo dough and stuffed with leftover turkey.   If you do not have leftover turkey meat from your roasted turkey, you can use minced turkey instead.

This amazing Asian inspired Sweet and Sour Turkey, is cooked in a sauce with bell peppers, carrot and pineapple, which makes the sauce delicious.   

Kokoras Bardouniotikos is a stewed rooster recipe from Lakonia. In the classic recipe there are no potatoes in it but is served with pasta, such as hilopites. The meat and onions are browned in olive oil before stewing and then it is simmered until cooked. In the end a lot of sphella cheese (a spicy, hard feta) and some kalamata olives are added and the combination of cloves and cinnamon is what gives this dish its unique Greek flavor.

These Chicken Souvlakia are so tender and juicy due to the marinade which features the fresh-tasting combination of lemon juice, garlic, and olive oil combined with Greek yoghurt that are so prevalent in Greek cuisine.

This Fettuccine with Chicken and Chocolaty, Mastic gum Sauce recipe was inspired when we visited  France.  One day I tried a Mexican dish called Pollo con Mole Negro, that is chicken with a black chocolate hot sauce.   I still remember how much I liked that dish and decided to make something that would remind me of that recipe.

Brining a turkey makes it moistier.  You can either brine it in a water solution with salt, water, sugar and spices or dry brine it.
