Though once incredibly popular, these chicken dishes have fallen out of fashion for various reasons, but...

Weird. More than half of these are in my regular rotation when I am in charge of the kitchen. 

My chicken cacciatore is a favorite with guests and lots of people love my coq. 😉

I have a few comments about the list:

* I agree that chicken cacciatore is still fairly common.  I still see it on restaurant menus from time to time.

* I'm not sure coq au vin was ever a commonly seen dish in the US homes.  Whilst I love the dish personally, it seems it was more commonly seen in French restaurants or households that still had a strong connection with France.

* Shocked not to see chicken paprikash on the list.  That was on my mother's monthly rotation of dinners in our midwest household in the 60's/70's.  After not seeing/having it for probably 40 years, I saw it on a menu in a Polish restaurant in Michigan about a year ago.  I was delighted to see it and order it.  I believe the dish has Eastern European origins.

What restaurant was that?  I do love a good chicken paprikash.

Julia Child made it popular on her TV show, and her cookbooks.

chicken paprikash

I’ve never made it, looks a step or two beyond “simple” but certainly I’ll give it a try on a weekend. Never tried this, one example from a website that keeps things simple as possible:

WWW.ALLRECIPES.COM

This chicken paprikash recipe with its colorful paprika-seasoned sour cream sauce is a variation of a classic chicken and dumpling casserole.

Lukich Family Dining in Troy.  Keep in mind that Chicken Paprikash is not on their normal menu.  It was one of the specials of the day when I ordered it.

Lukich's is great!  We used to eat lunch there when I worked nearby.  Pierogis were the best!  Along with the coleslaw with a vinegar-based dressing.

I’ve made all of these except for Chicken Stroganoff, which I’m not sure is a thing. I made Coronation Chicken as an experiment around King Charles’s coronation. It’s actually quite good, although I did it as whole breasts and not a salad.

No one makes lemon chicken anymore? I made it just the other day. 

Chicken Cacciatore is a staple in my kitchen.

Coq au vin. Mmm, coq...

Chicken a la King. Gross.

Chicken stroganoff? Yeah, no one makes it because it doesn't exist.

Perhaps not, or perhaps it can.

Chicken Stroganoff is everything you know and love about Beef Stroganoff, made with chicken! Seared golden chicken...

From rich, slow-braised classics to bright and unexpected flavor combinations, old-school chicken dishes are more than just meals. They're experiences. The aroma of garlic sizzling in butter, the warmth of a creamy sauce, or the tang of a bold and briny dish can transport us instantly to a place of comfort or culinary adventure. Dinner isn't just about eating; it's a ritual, a moment to savor something soulful.

But what if the old-school chicken dish you reach for most often isn't just about taste? What if your go-to recipe actually reflects your cosmic cravings? In astrology, each zodiac sign carries a unique energetic blueprint shaped by elements, modalities, and planetary influences. These traits don't just influence your relationships and routines. They flavor your desires, too. So it's no surprise that certain old-school chicken dishes align perfectly with the essence of each zodiac sign, offering the richness, warmth, indulgence, or adventurous twist your soul secretly craves.

What's not to like about Coq...

30 years ago on a drive back to LA from Vegas, our group was desperate for food, so we stopped at Whiskey Pete's to check out the lunch buffet. 

The menu (white plastic letters snapped into black velvet board) listed  

COG AU VIN

because this was the casino with nickel slots that couldn't afford to offend anyone.  

Except by serving the actual dish they were referring to:
It wasn't Vin, it wasn't Cog and it definitely wasn't Cock.
