Buffalo Chicken Lasagna

I love all things Buffalo Chicken. If you can “buffalo chicken” a recipe, I’ve probably done it, and if I haven’t, I want to know what I’m missing. My new favorite recipe is for Buffalo Chicken Lasagna. It’s loaded with buffalo wing sauce, tender rotisserie chicken, plenty of cheese, and soft noodles. It’s got some heat but isn’t too spicy in my opinion. If it is too spicy for you, cut the heat with some blue cheese or ranch dressing. It’s an easy recipe to prepare and comes together, start to finish, in about 1 hour. The recipe can be found here. Start by preheating the oven to 375 degrees F and spray a 9×13 baking dish with cooking spray. Add the ricotta, 8 oz shredded mozzarella (or sub with blue cheese), egg, parsley, salt, and pepper to a mixing bowl and mix until well combined. This is the yummy cheesy filling. Add the chicken, buffalo sauce … Continue reading

Sweet & Tangy Air Fryer Chicken Skewers

Sweet & Tangy Air Fryer Chicken Skewers make for a quick and easy meal. They are a little sweet from the brown sugar and a little tangy from the cayenne and chili powder, but the combination just works! Each skewer is packed with juicy, tender chicken that slides right off the skewer. These are great for a weeknight meal after a busy day, can be served as a side dish or appetizer, and make a great lunch throughout the week. Serve as is, over a bed of rice, with some cooked veggies or a salad on the side, and you have a complete meal! 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). … 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
