We approached this Sunday’s cooking challenge a little differently. We invited a panel of Judges (Uncle Nick, Gram and Aunt Aurora) to decide the winner of ... Chicken Challenge!

Cass, Mom & I each presented a chicken entreé to our judges who, on full bellies, decided the Chicken King!

I was first, and let the panel of judges decide...
"which is first? the chicken or the egg?"

I plated a bowl of Stracciatelli Soup (a traditional Italian, egg & spinach soup with mini-chicken meatballs) along with fresh pasta tossed with a pesto crudo and topped with a chicken roulade stuffed with parmesean, spinach and tomato confeit.

Mom was next, and delivered an architectural masterpiece — A Chicken Napoleon (layers of chicken, spinach, artichokes, cheeses and a bechamel sauce separated by pasta wraps and accompanied by roasted cherry tomatoes, portobella mushrooms and peas।

Last, but definitely not least, was Cassie’s Chicken Teriyaki. Cass's homemade teriyaki marinaded chicken was served with a fresh vegetable Asian salad and carmelized baked pineapple.

We enjoyed all the dishes, and the judges voted ....

... me THE WINNER this week.
