Chicken Pad See Ew
Chicken Pad See Ew is easy and fast to prepare; it is often considered Thai fast food. Pad See Ew is Thailand’s other popular noodle dish after Pad Thai; the Chinese influence on Pad See Ew is evident from its name which translates as “fried soy sauce noodles”. Dry-fried, slightly charred noodles bring a rustic, smokey taste to Chicken Pad See Ew; in our recipe, we substitute fettuccine Shirataki noodles to reduce the carbs without reducing its taste and appearance. Chicken Pad See Ew doesn’t have any spicy element to it; add some “heat” by preparing some Quick Chili Sauce, see recipe below, to serve at the table. If you like this recipe, you may also want to try our Chicken Shiitake Lo Mein. Prepare Chicken Pad See Ew at your home today; you, your family and guests will be very happy that you did.

Chicken Abruzzese
Chicken Abruzzese combines tender chicken with crispy bacon, herbs and spices, melted cheeses… and a history lesson too! The Abruzzo region of Italy, to the east of Rome with a lovely Adriatic coastline and the Apennine Mountains, is rugged and mountainous with hilltop towns from the medieval and Renaissance periods tucked in and around national parks and nature reserves. From a culinary point-of-view, Abruzzo has a tradition of reliance on rich herbs and local cheeses and eclectic variety, incorporating coastal, mountain, and rural influences, but always using local ingredients; it can truly lay claim to being part of the cucina povera of the Italian Mezzogiorno region; Interestingly, some of the most sought-after saffron in the world comes from Abruzzo.
Vito’s maternal grandparents emigrated from Vasto, Abruzzo and brought their cooking traditions with them; Chicken Abruzzese is an homage to that cooking, employing simple but hearty ingredients and a rich mix of spices. Enjoy Chicken Abruzzese with a simple Wilted Arugula Salad, some fresh, crusty bread and a good, dry red wine.
Prep Time: 20 minutes, Total Time: 1 hour 5 minutes. Serves 2.
