Aye, There’s the Chicken Rub, three ways

Good day, folks.  It’s been a couple months since i’ve written, but like everyone else, I am in self isolation and have a lot of things on my mind — family, especially parents..my children, cancelling travel plans and events, and still getting used to this surreal existence.  I’ve been renewing my interest in my old […]

Instant Pot Thai Chicken Curry

Do you ever have those days when you look in fridge or pantry and just need to use up the end of food items?  Well, this recipe is the result of one of those days.  I had some coconut milk left over from a previous recipe, end of a jar of natural peanut butter and […]

Thai Chicken Curry with Sweet Potatoes

There are some recipes that I have been making regularly for over 20 years. This Thai Chicken Curry is one of those recipes.  My sister shared this one with me. I have made only one change which I have found enhanced the recipe.  Red potatoes have been replaced with sweet potatoes. The sweet potatoes add […]

Chicken Soup – The Instant Pot Way

My son calls and tells me he is sick.  This is a 26-year-old man but what’s a mother to do?  Make him chicken soup and I need to make it fast.  I love the aroma of chicken soup simmering on the stove top for a few hours but now I have an Instant Pot so […]

What a Jerk Chicken

I know I lean towards the middle eastern spice palette but every one in a while a new flavour intrigues me. A few weeks back my friend, Cheryl, raved about a Jamaican Jerk chicken she had tasted and I thought, why haven’t I ever tried that? And within a week, this recipe for Jerk Chicken […]

Roasted Sumac Chicken with Za’atar and Lemon

I must be one of Yotam Ottolenghi’s greatest fans.  I love his style of middle-eastern fusion cuisine.  I own all six of his cookbooks, the most recent being Sweet, and I hardly ever make desserts but I had to complete my set.  My first purchase was Jerusalem and over the years I have filled in […]

Spiced Chicken with Warm Hummus

Sometimes the most difficult part for me when creating a blog post is the title.  I want to entice you to open the post so it has to lure you in.  This recipe is an amalgamation of two components: warm hummus and spiced chicken. But I made the decision to put the spiced chicken in […]

Pulled Chicken with Korean Flavours

Lately, I’ve seen a lot of recipes with pulled pork and pulled brisket for sandwiches, sliders and even tacos. Well, I don’t eat pork and I’m not a big beef-eater but I do like chicken a lot, so I started researching pulled chicken recipes. I guess shredded meats is the way to go this year.  […]

Thai-spiced Almond Butter Dipping Sauce for Chicken Satay

  It was a pleasant surprise to receive the notification that my previous post of Mediterranean Lentil Pasta Salad with Goat Cheese was my 100th published post since I began SpiceWife in January 2013.  Wow, 100 posts in three and a half years.  It certainly has been fun to explore new recipes, try new ingredients […]

Moroccan Chicken Pastilla

Pastilla (pronounced pas-tee-ya), also known as bastilla or basteeya, is a savoury-sweet Moroccan meat pie made by filling a phyllo pastry with a mixture of spiced braised poultry, eggs, and ground almonds. It is the national dish of the city of Fes in Morocco. There are many variations on the layering and spicing of the […]
