Air Fryer Garlic Parmesan Chicken Skewers
Air Fryer Garlic Parmesan Chicken Skewers are now part of my menu rotation! They are packed full of juicy, tender chicken, basted in an amazing parmesan-garlic sauce (IYKYK), and slide right off the skewer. Nothing is better than that. These make a great appetizer or can be made into an easy weeknight meal when paired with some rice, cooked veggies, or perhaps a side salad. The recipe can be found here. Start by soaking the wooden skewer for at least 30 minutes. This helps to prevent the meat from sticking to the skewer while cooking and it prevents the wood from burning. I like to use 6-inch or 8-inch skewers (that’s what fits inside my air fryer). Cut the chicken into 2-inch pieces and place in a Ziploc bag. Drizzle with olive oil and toss to coat. I like to use boneless skinless chicken breasts, but you can substitute with chicken thighs if you prefer. In a … Continue reading

Greek Chicken Wings with Lemon & Feta
Greek Chicken Wings with Lemon & Feta are the perfect combination for a light weeknight meal. These crispy chicken wings have a wonderful lemony flavor and are inspired by Greek/Mediterranean cuisine. They do need to be marinated so plan for timing, but you won’t regret your decision. It’s a delicious recipe that can be enjoyed as an entrée, appetizer, or side dish. The recipe can be found here. Start by marinating the wings. Whisk together the lemon zest, lemon juice, crushed garlic, olive oil, salt, pepper, and oregano in a large bowl. Add the wings to a large Ziplock bag and pour the sauce over the top. Seal the bag and toss to coat. Place in the fridge for at least 2 hours or up to 12 hours if you want to prepare these waaaaaay ahead of time 😊 Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Remove the wings from the marinate (use … Continue reading

Farro with Chicken and Tomatoes
Farro with Chicken and Tomatoes is a one pot meal that is ready in about 30 minutes, making it great for a busy weeknight meal. It’s warm and comforting without being overly filling so it’s something you can enjoy year-round. This recipe is essentially a healthy grain bowl that’s packed with protein. If you aren’t familiar with farro, it’s a bit heavier than quinoa and a bit chewier in my opinion, with a similar texture to rice. It has a nutty flavor and is a perfect plant-based alternative to meat (if you have dietary restrictions) and is packed with protein and fiber. These bowls have warm farro, tender chicken, juicy tomatoes, and plenty of cheese to top. With a few changes, you can make these vegetarian or vegan. Swap the chicken for chickpeas, substitute dairy-free cheese or perhaps use nutritional yeast and skip the cheese. You could also add some mushrooms, peas, chopped bell peppers, you name … Continue reading

Slow Cooker Honey Mustard Pulled Chicken
Slow Cooker Honey Mustard Pulled Chicken is my new favorite recipe! It’s a slow cooker recipe so get ready to set it, forget it, and have a yummy meal waiting for you. I love honey mustard when paired with chicken, chicken tenders specifically, but shredded chicken slathered in a honey mustard sauce isn’t too bad either 😊 The chicken is tender and juicy and is paired with a perfect sweet and tangy sauce. Serve as a sandwich, on top of a salad, over rice with veggies, on top of mashed potatoes with some steamed veggies, etc. It can also be enjoyed as is. The recipe can be found here. Start by placing the boneless skinless chicken breasts in the bowl of a slow cooker. This recipe is for boneless skinless chicken, but you can use another variety if you prefer (i.e., chicken thighs) but you may need to adjust the cook time. Add the honey, yellow mustard, Worcestershire sauce, melted … Continue reading

You can’t go wrong with a warm sandwich on ciabatta! The recipe can be found here. Start by baking the ciabatta bread according to package instructions. Set the bread aside to cool.

Balsamic & Guinness Chicken Wings
Balsamic & Guinness Chicken Wings are a unique yet delicious appetizer or dinner option. They have quite the pleasant flavor…it’s a little tangy and sweet. I think Guinness is mildly sweet with a hoppy/bitter flavor and notes of coffee, almost tastes like roasted almonds. Balsamic is rich in flavor with a mellow tartness and some acidity, kind of herby. But both complement each other nicely. The recipe can be found here. Start by preheating the oven to 350 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Line the chicken wings on the baking sheet, leaving a little space in between. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake for 40 minutes, flipping halfway through, or until an internal temperature of 165 degrees F is reached. While the wings are baking, make the sauce. Heat olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and sauté until soft and translucent. … Continue reading

Chicken Balti
I was gifted a Cast Iron Balti Dish and immediately started researching recipes and the type of cuisine to prepare in it. I learned A LOT! Balti is a cooking method traced back to Southern Asia and is named for the dish in which it is made. It’s similar to Indian curries and contains meat, vegetables, and spices. The main difference is how the dish is served but the ingredients used are cooked the same way. Balti dishes are stir-fried with vegetable oil over high heat in a flat-bottomed wok. Most often lamb is used, but you can find chicken or pork recipes as well. My recipe is for Chicken Balti, and you can view the recipe by clicking here. The sauce is a delicious and rich curry that is tomato based with plenty of onion, garlic, and spices, that complements the tender chicken very well. It’s really flavorful and tasty, fragrant…and SPICY! Start by heating oil in the Balti dish … Continue reading

Chicken Pesto Ciabatta Melts
Chicken Pesto Ciabatta Melts are perfect for your next weeknight meal! Think of a classic bistro sandwich with warm, toasted bread, tender, juicy chicken, fresh, ripe tomatoes, melted cheese, and an herby pesto to top it off. That’s what this recipe is, a wonderful hot sandwich option that fills the void for dinner (or lunch). It’s filling without leaving you uncomfortably full. The fresh ingredients make it feel like a light sandwich. I personally think ciabatta is the perfect bread for a sandwich. It’s soft and airy inside with a crispy crust so you can’t go wrong! The recipe can be found here. Start by baking the ciabatta bread according to package instructions. Set the bread aside to cool. Then slice the tomato and set it aside until ready to assemble. I always but take and bake ciabatta vs fresh. I think the taste holds up and I like that I can bake it when ready and feel like it … Continue reading

Creamy Cajun Chicken Pasta
Creamy Cajun Chicken Pasta is my newest weeknight recipe that your family will love! It’s a filling and delicious pasta that comes together in about 30 minutes. It’s rich, creamy, a little spicy, and packed with wonderful ingredients. I will admit…when I was originally working on this recipe it was going to be soup, not pasta, but plans changed, and soup just wasn’t in the cards that night. I blame the noodles for absorbing so much of the liquid that would have been yummy soup, but the recipe still turned into something great, and we had a lovely pasta dinner. One thing I love to do is play around with recipes so even though my original plan didn’t work out, I was able to recover and still serve dinner. Has that ever happened to you? The recipe can be found here. Start by seasoning both sides of the chicken tenders with Cajun seasoning. I like to use tenders because … Continue reading
