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. 😉 MikeBiDude and samhexum 1 1
EZEtoGRU Posted September 2 Posted September 2 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. samhexum 1

Never tried this, one example from a website that keeps things simple as possible: Chicken Paprikash 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. samhexum 1

harlow Posted September 3 Posted September 3 I make curry chicken salad. It was popular in the 70s and 80s but you don’t see it too much nowadays. I use Ina Garten’s recipe EZEtoGRU, + Just Sayin, MikeBiDude and 2 others 3 2
theplayerking Posted September 3 Posted September 3 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. samhexum 1
+ Alabastrine Posted September 3 Posted September 3 I make chicken paprikash all the time, provided you've got real Hungarian paprika in the pantry it's a sure-shot. You can still make it if you don't, it just won't have that black magic. MikeBiDude, + azdr0710, Smokey and 2 others 4 1
Pepper Young Posted September 4 Posted September 4 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.

theplayerking Posted September 4 Posted September 4 You can also make Chicken au Poivre by substituting chicken for steak, and there are recipes for it, but it doesn’t really work because the flavor profile is out of balance. I suspect Chicken Stroganoff is the same. samhexum 1

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. + Alabastrine 1
