1 rotisserie chicken: 25 delicious ideas for dinner
McClatchy Newspapers
After a long day, who hasn’t stumbled into the grocery store without the faintest idea of what to put on the table, when suddenly the tempting whiff of a freshly roasted chicken puts everything into perspective? And although a rotisserie chicken is great served on its own, it lends itself to so many dinner options. Casseroles, pizza, salads … Here are 25 easy dinner ideas incorporating rotisserie chicken. These aren’t formal recipes but rough outlines you can tweak to suit the tastes of your friends or family. Most involve only a few ingredients and almost all can be made in an hour or less. No matter your skill level in the kitchen, there’s something here for everyone. And with so many ideas, you’re bound to find something to please even the most picky dinner guest. Quesadillas: Soften chopped onion and bell pepper or mushrooms on the stove, then combine with chopped chicken and cheese in a folded tortilla and toast on a griddle or large skillet until the cheese melts. Chopped salad: Toss chopped chicken, apple, red onion, raisins and almonds in a bowl. Toss with a dressing made of mayonnaise, sour cream or yogurt flavored with a touch of wine or cider vinegar, mustard and fresh chopped herbs. Thai pasta with peanut sauce: Combine peanut butter, soy sauce, sugar, chopped garlic and a dash of hot sauce in a saucepan with enough coconut milk or water to thin. Warm over the stove, then toss with pasta, chopped chicken, chopped roasted peanuts and fresh cilantro. Lemon chicken pasta with basil: Chop chicken and saute for a few minutes to warm with a little chopped garlic and mushrooms if desired. Drizzle fresh lemon juice over the chicken and toss with pasta, shredded basil and freshly grated Parmesan cheese. Enchiladas: Coat the bottom of a baking dish with red or green enchilada sauce. Roll shredded chicken, cheese, sauteed onion and peppers into tortillas and place in the dish. Ladle over more sauce and add more cheese. Bake until the cheese melts and the sauce is bubbly. Serve topped with chopped green onion. Chicken and spinach cass e ro l e : C o m b i n e c h o p p e d chicken with fresh spinach, chopped sauteed onion and garlic, and homemade bechamel (butter and flour cooked to form a roux, with milk added to make a thick sauce) or cream of mushroom soup. Top with breadcrumbs mixed with Parmesan cheese, chopped fresh herbs and a little melted butter and bake until the filling is bubbly.

Sloppy Joes: Sweat finely chopped onion, bell pepper and garlic until translucent, then add chopped chicken to warm. Stir in equal parts marinara and barbecue sauce and spoon onto buns to serve. Macaroni salad: Toss macaroni with chopped chicken, celery and red onion and toss with a dressing of mayonnaise flavored with mustard and a touch of lemon juice. Empanadas: Sweat diced onion, chile or bell peppers, and mushrooms until translucent and then add diced chicken, cheese and a little chili sauce to moisten. Add filling to biscuit or pie dough cut into rounds. Seal and bake until golden brown, then serve with chile sauce on the side or drizzled over. Chicken noodle soup: Sweat onion, carrot and celery, then add chicken broth and simmer with noodles, other vegetables such as peas and potatoes, chopped chicken and fresh herbs. Chicken tortilla soup: Saute chopped onion and bell pepper until lightly golden, then add a container of fresh salsa and chicken broth and bring to a boil. Add several fresh corn tortillas torn into pieces, and then use an immersion blender to puree everything in the pot. Bring to a gentle simmer and add chopped or shredded chicken, more diced onion and pepper. Serve with crumbled fresh cheese, sour cream, tortilla strips and diced onion and cilantro. Shredded chicken tacos: Sweat sliced onion with chopped chile pepper and tomatoes, then add shredded chicken and enough chicken broth to moisten. Serve in warm tortillas with shredded lettuce or cabbage, salsa and toppings of choice. Burritos: In a large, warmed tortilla, combine shredded chicken with black beans, rice, lettuce, cheese, guacamole, sour cream and pico de gallo. Roll the burrito, top if desired with chile sauce and more cheese before serving. Taquitos: Roll shredded chicken in small tortillas and deep-fry. Serve with sour cream and salsa. Barbecue chicken sandwich: Combine shredded or chopped chicken with barbecue sauce. Serve, topped with coleslaw, in toasted buns. Savory turnovers or hand pies: Sweat chopped onion, carrot and celery in a saute pan. Add peas, potatoes and chopped chicken and enough broth to cover. Simmer until the vegetables are tender, then swirl in goat cheese or bread crumbs to thicken the broth, flavoring with fresh herbs if desired.

Chili: Saute onion, bell or chile pepper and garlic. Add chopped chicken, canned diced tomatoes, tomato sauce and a medley of drained canned beans. Thin to desired consistency with chicken broth and simmer to marry the flavors, checking occasionally for seasoning. Serve with crumbled cheese, green onion and sour cream. Lettuce cups: Chop the chicken and toss with a little cornstarch (2 tablespoons for each whole chicken). Saute chopped garlic and ginger over high heat until golden brown with a slightly nutty aroma. Add chopped shiitake mushrooms and chopped water chestnuts. Drizzle over soy sauce, rice vinegar and a touch of sugar, scraping any flavoring from the bottom of the pan. Add the chicken and cook until the sauce is thickened. Drizzle over more soy sauce, vinegar and sesame oil as desired and serve in lettuce cups topped with chopped roasted peanuts and green onion.

Puffed pastry dough is a totally underappreciated ingredient, at least as far as time-crunched families are concerned. It’s so versatile and easy to use, I’m not sure why it isn’t in the rotation in more homes. Let’s start with breakfast. Unfold a sheet of it, cut it into quarters, then spoon something into the center of each. That something could be almost anything — chopped fresh apples and a sprinLearn how to kle of cinnamon use puffed and sugar (or even pastry jarred applesauce at www. if that’s all you’ve wcfcourier. got), fresh berries, com red grapes, sliced peaches, even just a spoonful of jam. Fold one side of each quarter over on itself, then use a fork to crimp the sides together. Pop them on a baking sheet, then bake for 12 or so minutes at 400 F. Done. They even can be prepped, then refrigerated overnight and just baked in the morning. And any extras pack great for lunch. At dinner, you can take the same approach, but opt for savory fillings. A bit of ham and some grated cheese are perfect. And perfectly speedy. Toss in some broccoli florets and it’s a complete meal. One tip about working with puff pastry: You need to let it thaw fully before using (it is sold frozen alongside the pastry and pie supplies). You can do this at room temperature for 30 or so minutes. Or do what I do: pop the entire package in the refrigerator the night before. It will be good to go for breakfast or dinner the next day.
Puffed Curry Potato Pockets Start to finish: 1 hour (20 minutes active) Servings: 8 1 medium yellow onion, diced 1 large carrot, finely chopped 2 russet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/4-inch chunks 1 cup shelled edamame 2 tablespoons olive oil, plus extra for brushing 2 cloves garlic, minced 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger 1 teaspoon curry powder 2 tablespoons coconut milk 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro Salt and ground black pepper 17.3-ounce package frozen puff pastry, thawed (each package contains 2 sheets) Heat the oven to 350 F. Coat 2 baking sheets with cooking spray. In a medium bowl, combine the onion, carrot, potatoes and edamame. Drizzle with the olive oil, then toss well to coat. Arrange in an even layer on one of the prepared baking sheets, then roast for 15 minutes, or until tender. Sprinkle the garlic, ginger and curry powder over the vegetables, stir to mix in, then roast for another 5 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven and stir in the coconut milk and cilantro, then season with salt and pepper. Set aside. Unfold both sheets of puff pastry, then use a knife to cut each into quarters. Spoon about 1/3 cup of the filling onto one half of each quarter. Fold the other half over the fillings, then use a fork to crimp the edges together. If desired, the pockets can be frozen at this stage. Carefully transfer (a spatula helps) each pocket onto the second prepared baking sheet. Brush the top of each with a bit more olive oil. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until puffed and lightly browned.

Unsporty parents have field advantage dropping a ball or being the last one picked for a team. He was done with sports. Then came fatherhood. Cooper found himself raising three children, including an athletic little boy who wanted his dad to teach and coach him. How was he supposed to accomplish that when his own history with sports was an unpleasant stew of small failures peppered by flashes of real panic? On the baseball fields and basketball courts near

Parents who weren’t good at sports as children may find it easier to simply celebrate the best moments of a game and not offer their kids post-game advice on improving performance. In this aug. 17, 2012 file photo, fans and families of the Nashville, Tenn., Little League team celebrate a win at the Little League World Series tournament in South Williamsport, Pa.
Decades have passed. But Rich Cooper still vividly remembers standing on a baseball field as a kid, silently praying the ball wouldn’t come anywhere near him. He was glad to finally age out of Little League. Thrilled to leave the torture of gym class behind on high school graduation day. No more worries about

Those guys — the grownup incarnations of the kids who didn’t want him on their team — know exactly how to respond when their kids say, “Can we go outside and play catch?”

home team unsporty parents have field advantage
From page 2 But where do Cooper and so many other uncoordinated dads and moms fit in this picture? N icole LaVoi understands why these parents can feel ill-equipped to handle this poten tially pivotal chapter in their kids’ lives. But in her work at the University of M innesota’s Tucker Center for Research on G i r l s a n d Wo m e n i n Sports, she’s found that parents like Cooper actually have an unexpected advantage over more athletic parents. Kids who believe their parents view them as competent athletes are more likely to enjoy and stick with sports as they grow, her research shows. What determines how positive a kid’s sports experience turns out is “not whether the kid is good or not,” LaVoi says, “but whether the kid perceives that the parent thinks they’re good.” All parents have to resist the urge to offer a postgame litany of advice and constructive criticism on the drive home. But those of us who duck when a ball is thrown in our direction

may find it easier to simply celebrate the best moments of a game and not enumerate the ways a child needs to improve before next week’s matchup. I t ’s m o r e i m p o r tant, LaVoi says, to give unconditional support than to offer even the most useful tips on throwing a better curve ball or executing a more effective tackle. “Regardless of the outcome,” she says, “you’re there to say, ‘I’m here. I care about you, whether you win or lose. I love the effort you gave. You didn’t give up regardless of the score.’” The author of “Home Team Advantage: The Critical Role of Mothers in Youth Sports,” Brooke de Lench counsels sportsaverse parents to embrace their situation. Parents with little sports experience or skill can learn alongside their children, she says. She encourages parents to ask their kids for help learning the rules and strategies of a sport. Attend games together and sit up high, taking in the way the ball or puck is handled and how the players work as a team. Non-athletic parents may also find it easier to let kids determine how large a role
sports will play in their lives. “The parents that I’ve spoken to are not emotionally invested in their kids’ sports lives the way that the parents who were super-athletic as kids are,” says Mark Hyman, an author and lecturer on youth sports. “The emotional temperature in the household about sports tends to be lower.” Parents who were successful athletes tend to approach sports “with a plan for their children,” he says. “They’re already looking down the road to that first travel team and maybe the time when their child is going to be specialized in one sport.” For his most recent book, “ T h e Mos t E x p e n s ive Game in Town,” Hyman spoke with families who spend thousands each year on equipment, travel team expenses and private

Parents who played rarely or badly aren’t likely to make that investment unless their child pushes for it. I n eve ry h o u se h o l d , questions invariably arise: Should you steer your kid toward committing fully to a sport or treat each season as optional? Should you spend hours helping your child refine her goal-tending skills in hopes of landing a scholarship, or stick to cheering her from the sidelines?

Those who followed the last HouseWorks l e sso n o n b u i l d ing a fence now have rows of fence p o s ts s ta n d i n g sentinel in their yards. It’s time to get to the fun stuff. You’ll need three 2- by- 4 s t r i n ge rs for each bay of the fence, assuming you’re building a 5or 6-foot privacy fence. A low, decorative fence requires only two per bay. Many people build fences with the same t rea te d p i n e a s t h e i r posts, but I’ve found such lumber often twists as it dries. It has to be treated green, and usually it’s still curing when it gets to the lumber yard. I prefer cedar, which comes to me well-cured. S ta r t w i t h t h e w i d est bay and measure and cut those stringers to fit. If you cut one too short, save it for a narrower bay. You want a snug fit. Level the first stringer about 6 inches off the g ro u n d a n d n a i l i t i n place. I prefer 16d galvanized finish nails that I can sink into the stringers for a tidy look, but you can use galvanized common nails or even deck screws instead. Just don’t used steel nails or drywall screws, which would begin rusting almost immediately. Level the second stringer midway up the posts, then the third at

or near their tops, depending on your fence design. Whether your stringers are set flat or on edge also depends on the design. If your fence line is level, the rest is a cinch. But if there’s a slope or dip, you have to decide whether the pickets will follow that, creating a wavy fence top, or stair-step up or down the slope. That is, each bay will be level itself, but it won’t match the bay next in line. I like the look of the second better, but it’s just a matter of taste. So are fence designs. Here are a few: Palisade uses split saplings with pointed tops. It was very popular in the 1960s and will remind you of forts in TV Westerns of the same period.

“We all like good news. Here’s an idea, don’t just read the good news: be the good news.”
borgman
sifting through the bad news for the good From page 4 The story behind the story is that Ethan Whittington of Virginia was so moved by the Good Samaritan that he set up an online account where p e o p l e c o u l d d o n a te money to James. The total to date is $147,000. The plan is to help James get
a place to live, medical treatment and stability. I n t h e At l a n ta a rea , wh e n a yo u n g wo m a n broke off her engagement less than 40 days before the wedding, her parents stood to lose money they had put down on a fancy venue, catering and entertainment. Instead of cancelling the reception, Willie and Carol Fowler called Hosea Feed the Hungry and offered a four-course dinner for

quickly picked up the bill. Manager Joey Prusak e x p e c te d t h e wo m a n would return the money to the man and was astonished to see her stuff it in her purse. He told the woman that he wouldn’t serve a customer that disrespectful. She could return the money to its rightful owner and be served, or she could leave. She left. That’s when Prusak gave the man a 20 out of his
own pocket. Other customers saw what happened and began sharing the story. Prusak had just been turned down for a raise, but his boss did write him a note saying, “You’re the type of man I’m proud to know.” And for the whipped cream and cherry on top, Prusak got a phone call from the m a n wh o ow n s Da i r y Queen – Warren Buffet.
