Shredded Chicken Recipe (Moist & Flavourful)

Perfecting this shredded chicken recipe was a long time coming.

13 years ago, I auditioned for a TV show in which home cooks could compete for their recipe to become a President’s Choice product to be sold in grocery stores nationwide! Exciting right?

Chicken Soup with Matzo Balls – Gluten Free!

Chicken Soup with Matzo Balls is a recipe that’s near and dear to my heart. I grew up watching my grandmother make chicken soup every week but sadly I didn’t attempt to make it myself until long after she was gone.

The fact is though, my grandmother never wrote down a recipe; she cooked by intuition; a little bit of this and a little bit of that.
