Balsamic Chicken in the Crockpot (or Instant Pot).
**This post is brought to you by my sister, Laurie…with occasional interjections by me, so I can brag about my Instant Pot.** Laurie: I’ve made this balsamic chicken several times now and it’s not a fluke. We really like it! That’s basically all the reason I need to add it to our regular rotation. But there…
Shortcut Burrito Bowls.
I really wanted to name these “shorty-shorty-shortcut burrito bowls” or something that more eloquently celebrates how many corners you can cut and still have a really good, healthy dinner. We’re trying to plan ahead for quality family time since Jay’s schedule gets a little crazy this time of year, and we decided that Wednesdays we’ll do an…
One-Pan Chicken Fajitas.
I hope your Cinco de Mayo involves a Mexican restaurant and enough chips + salsa + queso to make your jaw ache and your actual meal unnecessary. But if you’re cooking a Mexican feast at home – or you just need an easy weeknight meal – these chicken fajitas are for you, since you…
Quick & Easy Pan-Seared Chicken.
I’m a meal planner, but I’ve tried and failed to be a meal prepper – taking a chunk of time on the weekend to chop veggies, cook a couple things, and set myself up for success during the week. (If you want to be inspired to do this, check out Shutterbean’s meal prep posts.) Mostly…
Chicken Caesar Wraps.
**This Faster-than-Fast-Food post brought to you by my sister, Laurie!** When I was in college, one of my favorite meals from our little food court (affectionately knows as the Furman P-Den) was chicken caesar wraps. I haven’t thought of them in years, but all of a sudden last night I was consumed with the need…
Crockpot Chicken Tortilla Soup (with crunchy baked tortilla strips).
I’ve been wanting to add some more crockpot recipes to my repertoire…and according to the survey, that would help a lot of you, too! (Thank you so much for your feedback! If you haven’t responded yet, it would be a huge help!) To be honest, I tend to feel a little uninspired in my crockpotting….
Grilled Chicken (the only recipe you’ll ever need).
This is the grilled chicken of my childhood. My dad loved to cook out, and it’s one of the ways I picture him – standing over the grill in a white t-shirt. Like this:
First Taste: Summer Spaghetti.
I love going to the farmer’s market this time of year. I could go broke buying peaches. And corn. And peppers and watermelon and blackberries and big heirloom tomatoes for BLTs. I bought all of the above and a pint of golden cherry tomatoes for this Summer Spaghetti recipe I found on Pinterest. It also has lemony…
Back Pocket Chicken.
**This post is brought to you by my sister, Laurie!** I decided to call this chicken “Back Pocket Chicken,” because it’s the perfect recipe to keep in your back pocket for all sorts of occasions. It’s delicious enough to serve when company comes over, but it’s totally kid-friendly. Coated in bread crumbs and parmesan cheese,…
Creamy Chicken Tetrazzini.
I love a good baked pasta! This chicken tetrazzini is a big, comforting dish of creamy noodles, lots of shredded chicken, and a crispy-salty parmesan cheese topping. And even though it doesn’t have cream-of-anything soup, it still comes together quickly and is customizable to your tastes! It also makes a great freezer meal (see the recipe notes…
Chicken Noodle Soup (Stocking the Freezer #2).
**Psst! I forgot a couple of things on my Christmas post – see the updated version here!** Confession: I have yet to master the art of roasting a whole chicken. I feel pretty lame about it, since it’s one of my favorite meals! The last time I attempted it my chicken was undercooked, and kind…
Spicy Chicken Soup.
Some days, this sweet baby I have just doesn’t want to be put down. She’s perfectly content to hang out in my left arm while I attempt to do all the life tasks with my right. And with the exception of chopping vegetables and using a can opener, I made this chicken soup and documented it for…
