    Jamaican Jerk Chicken

    How to Make Jamaican Jerk Chicken

    Jerk seasoning is a sweet and spicy blend of allspice, chili peppers (preferably scotch bonnet), fresh ginger, and a hint of brown sugar. Start marinating the chicken the day before for maximum flavor. Cooking on the grill adds a nice smoky flavor, but you could also bake the chicken in the oven.

    Chicken Wild Rice Asparagus Soup

    How to Make Chicken Wild Rice Asparagus Soup

    This comforting chicken and rice soup features fresh asparagus and wild rice. This recipe is lower in potassium because we used almond milk instead of regular milk, so this is great for people managing kidney disease or otherwise on a potassium-restricted diet. If you do not need to limit potassium, you could use regular nonfat milk in this recipe.

    Maryland’s Eastern Shore Cream of Crab Soup

    How to Make Maryland’s Eastern Shore Cream of Crab Soup

    Maryland is famous for its crabs and many specialty dishes made from them. Cream of crab soup is an Eastern Shore classic, usually rich and decadent dish full of cream and butter. This lighter version uses half and half and broth thickened with cornstarch, to achieve the same creamy texture with way less fat and calories. Fresh lump crabmeat is ideal, but other varieties or imitation crab could be used instead.

    1. Combine rosemary, thyme, basil, parsley, and black pepper in a small bowl. Add mustard and garlic and mix well. Rub herb mixture over the pork tenderloins evenly. Cover the tenderloins and let rest in the refrigerator for at least two hours.

    2. Preheat oven to 400° F.

    3. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place the tenderloins in the oil and brown on all sides. Remove from the skillet and place them in a baking dish with plenty of space so they aren’t touching.

    4. Bake the tenderloins for 20 minutes or until meat thermometer registers 160° F (medium) to 170° F (well done).

    5. Allow the tenderloins to rest for 10 to 15 minutes before carving to allow the juices to distribute throughout the meat.
