Moroccan Chicken Salad

1 hr, 5 min

Discover the delectable flavors of our Middle Eastern Chicken Salad, featuring our beloved Cascade Mushroom Mix. Infusing the marinade with this mix was a game-changer, intensifying the umami goodness and making the chicken irresistibly "meatier". In this salad, we combine the mushroom mix with exotic Moroccan Ras El Hanout, creating a sweet, spicy, and complex medley. With the addition of grapes, pears, and walnuts, this dish becomes a delightful option for a satisfying lunch or a light supper.

Mediterranean Chicken Salad

Can you ever have too many ways to make a chicken salad? We don't think so, and using our Cascade Mushroom Mix in the marinade makes it even easier to come up with new versions. The umami in this mix creates magic in marinades and plays well with other blends, too! For this Mediterranean chicken salad, we paired the mushroom mix with Herbes de Provence, a delicious French herb blend that loves chicken. To round out the salad and add color, crunch and rich flavor, we used kale, broccoli and pine nuts. This is a perfect lunch for a lazy weekend day.

David Leite's Portuguese Roast Chicken and Potatoes

20 min

From David Leite -"There's nothing more comforting than a delicious roast chicken with potatoes! Using A Taste of Portugal, we made a paste that is used to season the chicken before it goes into the oven. What's great about this paste is that it's infinitely customizable. Sometimes I double the garlic, add more tomato paste, a big handful of chopped fresh parsley, cilantro, thyme, or rosemary - whatever I have on hand. And for those chiliheads out there, feel free to spice it up to suit your taste!"

Pho-Nominal Chicken Soup

10 min

Making a flavorful pot of pho at home is easy with our Pho-Nominal Broth blend. For this recipe we created a chicken pho, or Pho Ga, but the beauty of this broth blend is that it is so versatile it can be used for whatever type of pho you are craving, so you can pick and choose your favorite meat and vegetables because we've taken care of all the spices. Using our mix you can make pho in less than an hour!

Buffalo Totchos

In the realm of culinary fusion, which can admittedly be hit or miss, "totchos" are a stroke of pure pub-fare genius. Universally beloved, the combination of tater tots and nachos are proof positive that good things can be made even better. So we thought we'd see just how far we could take it with a couple of beloved spice flavors. Yes, Buffalo Spice on chicken and fresh Ranch dressing for the drizzle and dunk. 

Buffalo Blue Cheese Chicken Salad

The salad starts with an easy sheet pan chicken, pulled from a quick two-ingredient marinade of buttermilk and Buffalo Spice. Stay with the recipe proportions for a satisfying medium heat or fire it up with more Buffalo Spice.  The heat is complimented by the tang of apple cider vinegar and a pep of lemon crystal for a lively and versatile flavor. This chicken is sure to be a staple around our house this summer and will do equally well on the grill. Then toss it together with all the other goodies and you've got a salad that really satisfies. And just for fun: is it blue or bleu cheese?

Adobo Chicken with Huacatay Salsa Verde

This tantalizing sheet pan supper is both easy and delicious. The star of the show is the salsa, where we've sweated down vegetables to unlock their flavors, then blended them with huacatay and fruity Aji Mirasol chiles for a South American twist. The combination is perfectly balanced, allowing both flavors to shine. The Adobo-seasoned chicken and zucchini create a delicious canvas, absorbing the savory goodness of the salsa. Spatchcocking the chicken ensures even cooking and simplicity. 

Chorizo Bomb Stuffed Acorn Squash

Acorn squash is one of my favorites because they can be personal sized and filled with whatever you're craving. This recipe is simple and Chorizo Bomb does all of the work. As the name implies, it is an explosion of flavors with minimal ingredients. We start off by roasting the acorn squash until tender and caramelized to bring out its nutty sweetness. We kept this recipe grain-free by stuffing the squash with ground chicken and sweet peppers. To bring it all together, we added Chorizo Bomb which is made up of ground smoked chilies and oregano, thyme and cumin. In a matter of minutes, your house will smell of Fall chiles. Add a sprinkle of cheddar, then a quick trip to the oven for golden brown deliciousness.

Harissa Grilled Chicken Wings

Chicken wings are a perfect game day dish, and our winning strategy scores with bold flavor! A quick toss in a Harissa dry rub followed with a saucy glaze combining butter, lemon paste, vinegar and Upper Left Madrona Smoked Honey brings the platter to the table without much fuss and they are absolutely delicious. The toasty exotic flavor of Harissa has mild smoky heat that goes well with all your favorite dipping sauces. Grilling gives that great char flavor and their moist, meaty texture is always a crowd pleaser. Buffalo and blue cheese have met their match!
