Poultry is the most versatile protein there is. From chicken parm to chicken soup (Jewish penicillin) to roasted turkey for Thanksgiving or just the comfort of a warm bowl of turkey chili, it’s affordable, easy to use, and delicious especially for anyone watching their meat intake.

Whether you call it Chicken Parmesan or Chicken Parmigiana, this is classic is always everyone’s favorite. Most recipes suggest using chicken breasts, I make mine with skinless, boneless chicken thighs. I find them more moist and flavorful.

With noodles or matzoh balls this lush, rich flavored broth with chicken and vegetables is not just Jewish penicillin, but a deeply comforting and enjoyable meal.
