Ethnic Chicken Recipes
- Chicken Etouffee
When I was in New Orleans a few years ago, I had the best Crawfish Etouffee in a restaurant in the French Quarter. This recipe is loosely based on that wonder. - Easy Chicken Kiev
Straight from Russia! (Well, not really.) This simple recipe is a variation on the classic. If you'd prefer to make the original, try Chicken Kiev. - Tandoori Chicken
This Indian yogurt marinade, filled with spices, make chicken breasts velvety smooth and so flavorful. - Chicken Paprikash
From Hungary, this fabulous and hearty dish is delicious served over mashed potatoes or hot rice. - Cheese Stuffed Chicken
Feta cheese and olives add a Greek flair to this simple, delicious recipe. - Chicken and Wild Rice Bake
This super simple recipe uses a wild rice mix. Wild rice is a flavorful seed, native to Minnesota, that is really delicious with the best tender texture. - Minted Chicken Breasts with Cucumber Sauce
A cooling sauce accompanying spicy chicken is typical of Middle Eastern cuisine. - Spanish Crockpot Chicken
Use whole boneless skinless chicken breasts in place of the cubed thighs in this recipe. Artichokes, olives, and oregano give this recipe a Spanish flair. - Crockpot Orange Curried Chicken
Curry is a complex blend of spices from India. This fabulous recipe is my husband's favorite. - Mexican Chicken
This super easy microwave recipe uses just five ingredients. The recipe serves two; you can double or triple it, but be sure to increase the cooking time by 1-1/2 to 2. - German Chicken
Hearty German flavors and ingredients make chicken a truly special dish in this quick and easy main dish recipe. - Tex Mex Grilled Chicken
Cooked on your indoor grill, all the Mexican spices flavor this chicken to perfection. I love the combination of the hot, juicy chicken with cold salsa. - Fake Chicken Cordon Bleu
This French recipe is a nice fake-out! The flavors are superb, and the recipe is much easier than classic Cordon Bleu. - Mexican Peacocks
I think this is 'Mexican' because of the avocado stuffing. At any rate, I adore this recipe. - Chicken with Orange Salsa
This sunny recipe makes me think of California! The combination of sweet oranges and spicy jalapeno is superb. - Chicken with Pineapple
And cashews! This recipe reminds me of the tropics, especially Hawaii. Yum. - Chicken Ravioli Cacciatore
Cacciatore is a classic Italian recipe. This simple variation is delicious and easy. - Crockpot Thai Chicken
Substitute chicken breasts for the thighs in this recipe and cut the cooking time to 6-7 hours. Lime juice, gingerroot, and peanut butter make a wonderful sauce for this easy chicken dish. - Chicken with Peppers Stir-Fry
Stir-frying originated in Asian countries. This is one of the best ways to cook chicken. - Chicken Scampi
I know that scampi is Italian, but I always think of it as Floridian, because I had the best shrimp scampi of my life in a restaurant near Bonita Springs. - Chicken Lo Mein
This excellent and super healthy recipe uses ramen soup mix for the flavorings.
