Chicken and Rice Soup
This chicken and rice soup is the most comforting soup you can have on cold winter nights. I love to make this soup on the thicker side, it’s so filling and tastes really good! I crave this soup all the time when I’m not feeling good! Cooking it in the instant pot or pressure cooker, also makes this recipe so easy to make.

Baked Chicken and Rice
It’s traditional in Albania to cook an entire chicken then use the stock to bake rice and chicken in the oven. Sometimes we bake the chicken with potatoes too. While baking the rice can be a bit tricky, it tastes amazing when baked with chicken stock and seasoned chicken.

Roasted Chicken Drumsticks with Potatoes
Growing up in the Mediterranean, I got used to many dishes baked on a tray with a protein like lamb, chicken or tenderloin over potatoes. This brings back so many memories of Sunday get togethers with both sets of grandparents my mom cooking this dish. It’s a fairly simple dish to cook and you can cook a lot at once making lots of leftovers for the next day:).
