Prep (applies to all recipes)

Recipe 1: Hot chicken sandwich (Montreal style / “poutine” gravy)

Recipe 2: Chicken salad sandwich

Recipe 3: Buffalo chicken quesadillas

Recipe 4: Chicken bowl

Recipe 5: Chicken & orzo soup

Recipe 6: “Enchiladas” (rolled with tomato sauce)

Step-by-step method (key timings/temps/technique)

Common prep: debone

  1. Debone chickens by hand into sections (rough is OK).
  2. Separate dark meat/leg/thigh vs breast/white meat.
  3. Keep wings/skin aside (wings as a snack tomorrow; skin used later for flavor).
  4. (Bones can be saved for stock; not done here.)

Recipe 1: Hot chicken sandwich

  1. Put gravy in a pot while you cut up chicken.
  2. Warm chicken (oven used; microwave allowed).
  3. When gravy is ready and chicken is warm, assemble:
    • Add chicken to bread.
    • Spoon gravy onto one side, then go heavy on gravy.
    • Top with peas.
  4. Serve as a hot sandwich.

Technique cues: use rotisserie drippings as gravy; warm chicken to match gravy timing.

Recipe 2: Chicken salad sandwich

  1. Chop red onion small.
  2. Chop celery (implied by mom’s method) and mix with chicken.
  3. Chop breast meat roughly by hand.
  4. Season: cracked pepper, salt (pinch); mix to desired ratio.
  5. Mix until combined; portion into a sandwich.

Technique cue: “no real recipe”—adjust onion/celery-to-chicken to preference; avoid big chunks.

Recipe 3: Buffalo chicken quesadillas

  1. Mix dark meat + skin + some white meat; break up in hands.
  2. In a frying pan:
    • Add oil + chopped onion.
    • Cook a couple minutes until onions are soft/translucent (not fully caramelized; not raw).
  3. Combine onions + chicken in a bowl.
  4. Add:
    • Mozzarella (handful)
    • Buffalo-style wing sauce (inside; used instead of sweet BBQ sauce)
    • Heavy amount of barbecue/warm sauce per preference
    • Sour cream dollop
    • Pepper
  5. Warm chicken mix in oven briefly (chicken warms first).
  6. Assemble quesadillas on butter-rubbed cast iron:
    • Stuff tortilla, fold.
    • Press, then cook and turn after a few minutes.
  7. Cook until golden/crisp (a few more seconds as needed).
  8. Cut and serve; suggested with salad on the side.

Technique cues: “nice crisp,” butter-rubbed pan, fold + press, flip once.

Recipe 4: Chicken bowl

  1. Cook jasmine rice:
    • Use 1 cup rice + 1¼ cups chicken stock
    • Simmer about 10 minutes
  2. Rest 10 minutes so rice finishes absorbing liquid.
  3. Warm chicken; optionally crisp skin.
  4. Make tomato salad:
    • Chop cherry tomatoes, onion, cucumber (peel on).
    • Mix with dill, olive oil, salt, pepper.
  5. Assemble bowls:
    • Add rice portion.
    • Add warmed chicken.
    • Squeeze lemon over.
    • Spoon in tomato salad.
    • Add corn + avocado.
    • Mix everything with hummus.
    • Season avocado with salt (and optionally olive oil).
  6. Serve immediately.

Recipe 5: Chicken & orzo soup

  1. In a pot with olive oil, sweat chopped carrots/onions/celery until softened.
  2. Add tomato juice + stock.
  3. Bring to a boil, then set to strong simmer.
  4. Simmer ~25 minutes to develop flavors.
  5. Add orzo:
    • Uses ~160 g (after starting at 200 g expectation).
  6. Add chicken at this point.
  7. Bring back to a boil, then shut off heat so orzo finishes cooking in the hot broth.
  8. Serve; soup thickens as orzo cooks.

Technique cues: orzo expands and thickens broth; reheating next day may require thinning. Chef tip stated: If leftover broth disappears overnight, add water or stock (preferably stock). Seasoning tip: black pepper “copiously” and season to taste.

Recipe 6: Tomato-sauce enchilada-style rolls

  1. Chop stuffing ingredients:
    • White meat + some dark meat
    • Small green pepper
    • Cilantro
    • Corn
    • Black beans
  2. Add Greek yogurt.
  3. Season stuffing with:
    • Pepper, salt, a bit granulated garlic, and cayenne (omit for kids)
  4. Add cheese (handful of mozzarella; alternatives allowed).
  5. Add a small dollop of sauce inside the roll for acidity.
  6. Spread light base of tomato sauce in baking dish.
  7. Roll tortillas tightly; seam side down, repeat for all.
  8. Cover with tomato sauce, ensuring each is covered and cheese is melted.
  9. Bake at 400°F for ~25 minutes until warm and cheese is melty.
  10. Garnish with cilantro.

Recipe 7: Chicken pasta with gorgonzola

  1. Heat pan with olive oil.
  2. Add bell peppers + onions right away.
  3. Add butter, salt/pepper.
  4. Add mushrooms + garlic.

  6. Add dry white wine (if using).
  7. Use tomato sauce (house tomato sauce mentioned; any works).
  8. Cook pasta separately (fettuccini mentioned) and transfer into the sauce.
  9. Finish with crumbled gorgonzola on top (strong cheese “punch”).
