Kardea Brown helps out her best friend -- a busy working mom -- by sharing a few quick, easy and inexpensive meals that she can throw together any night of the week using grab-and-go rotisserie chickens. They make Green Chicken Enchiladas, Homestyle Chicken Noodle Soup with lots of vegetables and Chicken Puttanesca Pasta. Kardea also shares an easy dessert that only looks difficult, a Strawberry-Rhubarb Galette.
The Kitchen is celebrating Mother's Day, starting with Geoffrey Zakarian's Chamomile French Toast and Katie Lee's Mini Broccoli Quiches. Then Bloom School is in session with three new floral arrangements for mom, the gang plays Pass the Chicken Salad using rotisserie chicken and actress Susan Lucci stops by for a Mother's Day tea party.
This trip, Guy's steppin' up to unique grills on the mainland and beyond. In Miami, Fla., the husband/wife duo serving up classic Americana with a 21st century twist like the smoky fried chicken and Buffalo-style pig wings. In Orange County, Calif., the anything-but-average taco truck grilling steaks for the drunken torta and deep frying green chicken chilaquiles. And on Oahu, Hawaii, Guy's favorite rotisserie chicken joint cranking out the island's signature huli huli chicken.
The Kitchen is cooking up satisfying recipes without breaking the bank. Geoffrey Zakarian whips up a double-duty dinner of Roast Chicken with Taqueria-Style Green Sauce, plus a homemade Chicken Stock. Sunny Anderson uses Geoffrey's leftovers to make Easy Chicken Tortilla Soup, and Alex Guarnaschelli pulls from the pantry and fridge for her Corn Pasta with Sun-Dried Tomatoes. Katie Lee Biegel bakes a Banana Birthday Cake, Ebonée Noel from OWN's "The Kings of Napa" stops by, and Jeff Mauro leads the gang in a chat about popcorn and wine pairings.
