Blue Valentine’s Day Recipe Meal: Blue Chicken Recipe
Not feeling in the Red this Valentine’s Day?
Every year can’t be all hearts and cupids for Valentine’s day, right? Sometimes we just aren’t feeling the love. So I have created a Blue Chicken Recipe sure to tickle your fancy (and an entire Blue Valentine’s day recipe meal here).
Blue Chicken
What makes this chicken recipe blue? Blue Curaçao (a liqueur). Blue Curaçao and Curaçao taste exactly alike so if you don’t want your chicken to be blue, just use Curaçao. Don’t let the addition of this liqueur put you off making this dish. It adds a delicious orangey tang and the alcohol burns off during the cooking!

- 1 tspn. salt

Love the blue accessories? Most of mine are vintage or from overseas but nice blue accessories are everywhere. Find some beautiful blue choices here.
Not sure where to find blue curacao for this recipe. Get blue curacao on Amazon! So many choices!
This sounds so good, thanks for sharing with us.
This sounds delicious.
This would be great for Valentine’s day coming up
Weird colour for the recipe but I bet it tastes great.
This sounds super, although I wouldn’t go with the blue, but it has ingredients I haven’t made anything like this, and perfect for Valentine’s!
I enjoy a cocktail with Blue Curacao but have never considered cooking with it. Shelley you are a Super Star! My husband and I love chicken and have been known to have a drink or two (or five or six) and this sounds like a dish we would like.
sounds like a great recipe never heard of the blue curacao until this recipe
One day when I was growing up I put some blue food coloring in our milk pitcher. My sister refused to drink it. I think I’d use the regular Curacao. But I do like blueberries.
I was looking at the blue choices and I really like the classy Gibson Soho Lounge 16-Piece Square Reactive Glaze Dinnerware Set, Blue
I’m always looking for healthy chicken recipes.
I will making this for my mother sometime soon. My mother and I love chicken.
I am definitely going to make this for my girlfriend before Valentine’s Day
I’ve added lots of liquors to dishes but never Blue Curacao. My husband looked at the picture and said no. He isn’t very adventurous with food. I may try this one with curacao. It sounds delicious. Love the blue theme.
This is a cool idea and I’ve never cooked with Blue Curaçao before. I’d like to try it!
Can’t wait to try!
I don’t think I could spots of green (looks green to me) of that particular hue on chicken–but I’m sure it tastes great!
Looking good love to try this i love chicken
I can’t wait to try this one. Thanks!
