It’s a lighter alternative to crispy chicken burgers, with the same comfort and none of the hassle. Thin, pounded chicken breast cooks quickly, stays juicy, and works perfectly in a soft sesame bun. This is something you can genuinely pull together in about twenty minutes, which makes it ideal for lunch or an easy weeknight dinner. Simple seasoning, straightforward cooking,

Chicken schnitzel is often seen as one of those dishes that belongs in restaurants rather than home kitchens. The golden crust, the even browning, the promise of crispness can make it feel technical or fussy. In reality, once you understand the method, thin chicken, a simple breading, steady heat, it becomes one of the easiest and fastest meals you can make. From start to finish, this is comfortably on the table in under half an hour. This is also the kind of food that works

This is the kind of recipe I often turn to when I am cooking for guests or planning a table ahead of time. It feels generous and comforting, but it is also practical.

This chicken börek is slightly different from the crisp, dry böreks you might be used to. It is layered with shredded chicken, baked until golden, then finished with warm chicken b

There are nights when I want something warm and creamy but don’t want to open a carton of cream or use five pans to get there. That’s how this pasta came to life; simple ingredients that melt together in one pan and taste like comfort in a bowl. The sauce comes entirely from the goat cheese, which softens into the warm pasta and turns creamy without feeling heavy. The spring onions add a bit of freshness, the chicken brings richness, and the whole thing feels balanced and sat

It may sound like a cliché, but I actually enjoy visiting Hard Rock Cafés in the cities I travel to. No matter where you are, the buffalo wings taste exactly the same: crispy, tangy, and fiery with that buttery hot sauce coating. After ordering them so many times, I wanted to try making them at home. Here’s my attempt at recreating that classic flavor, complete with the cool blue cheese dip on the side. Ingredients Wings 1 kg chicken wings (split into drumettes and flats) 2 t

Chicken, peppers, and fresh tomatoes are such a simple trio, yet when they bake together, they turn into something so comforting. I sometimes cook this combination quickly in the pressure cooker, but lately, I’ve been leaning on the oven instead — it does the work for you, and the flavors come together beautifully without much effort.

Enchiladas are a beloved Mexican classic — tortillas filled with chicken, rolled up, and baked under a blanket of rich sauce and melted cheese. Traditionally, the sauce is chili-based, but my home-cook version leans on a simple tomato sauce that’s easier to make with everyday pantry staples. It may not be fully traditional, but it’s comforting, flexible, and still carries the spirit of enchiladas. And because I cook with a Mediterranean heart, I swap cilantro (which is more c
