Poultry is the most versatile protein in most kitchens, and these recipes cover it from weeknight to holiday. For everyday dinners there is a skillet chicken cordon bleu with cream sauce, a classic chicken pot pie, a creamy wild rice soup, Greek yogurt marinated kebabs and a grilled chicken salad with strawberries and candied pecans.
For Sundays and special occasions, try a lemon herb roast chicken, an herb butter roast turkey breast for a smaller holiday table, garlic rosemary Cornish game hens, or a pan-seared duck breast with cherry sauce, the poultry that eats like a steak. All chicken and turkey should reach 165°F; our poultry cooking times chart shows how long each cut takes.
