Greek Chicken Lettuce Wraps with Tzatziki Sauce
Greek Chicken Lettuce Wraps with Tzatziki Sauce are super easy to make, healthy, and refreshing. They are packed with zesty chicken, cool cucumbers, crisp tomato and onion, and tangy tzatziki sauce. It’s a burst of Mediterranean flavor! For us, these are simple weeknight meal. However, they would make great lunches because you can meal prep ahead of time and they are pretty light vs. filling. I recommend using bib lettuce, butter lettuce, or romaine hearts. They bib and butter lettuce create these “cups” for the ingredients to sit in and the romaine lettuce wraps the ingredients together well without ripping. If a lettuce wrap isn’t your thing, swap out the lettuce for a tortilla. The recipe can be found here. Start by making the Tzatziki Sauce. Add the Greek yogurt, cucumber, lemon juice, dill, garlic powder, and salt to a mixing bowl. Stir to combine. Taste and adjust the seasoning as necessary. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use. I’ve found that … Continue reading

Chicken Bacon Ranch Sheet Pan Nachos
Everyone loves a good Chicken Bacon Ranch Sandwich, but have you ever tried Chicken Bacon Ranch Sheet Pan Nachos? Let me tell you…they are yummy! Super easy to make, super quick to make, super easy to cleanup, and they work well as an appetizer (or as a meal for 2…guilty as charged). The chicken is juicy and tender, the bacon is salty and crisp, and melted cheese brings it all (or holds it all) together. My favorite part is the ranch dressing that’s drizzled over the top. It’s not just a bottle of ranch dressing but a homemade mixture that is rich and creamy, and you will want some in every bite! The recipe can be found here. Start by making the ranch dressing. Combine the ranch dressing mix, mayonnaise, sour cream, and milk in a mixing bowl. Whisk until well combined. Then cover and refrigerate until ready to use. I like to let mine sit for about an … Continue reading

Instant Pot Chicken Bruschetta Pasta
Instant Pot meals are quickly becoming a favorite of mine on night we are busy and don’t have a lot of time to spend cooking but still want a nice meal. We probably use our Instant Pot more in the fall and winter than we do in the spring and summer because it’s great for warm and hearty meals. Recently we made Instant Pot Chicken Bruschetta Pasta. It was delicious! The chicken was moist and tender, the noodles were al dente (I hate when they become too soft and mushy), and the bruschetta topping added some lovely color and a bit of freshness to the dish. The flavors pair well together and left us feeling quite satisfied! The recipe can be found here. Start by preparing your ingredients – the ingredients you will be putting in the Instant Pot. Slice the chicken, mince the garlic, etc. Then, add the ingredients to the Instant Pot in the … Continue reading

Hawaiian Sheet Pan Chicken
Hawaiian Sheet Pan Chicken is a quick an easy, yet super tasty, weeknight meal. The entire meal is made with one sheet pan so cleanup will also be quick. You do need a cutting board, mixing bowl, and knife, but that’s still less dishes than normal, right? I think it took me 60 min TOPS to make this dish, including prep time, bake time, and cleanup. This dish is full of flavor! The chicken is moist and juicy, the veggies are tender, the BBQ sauce adds a little tanginess, and the pineapple add a wonderfully fresh, citrus flavor. My favorite way to serve this is over a bed of rice but mashed potatoes or a salad would be a good substitute. The recipe can be found here. Start by preheating the oven to 350 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Slice the chicken and add to a mixing bowl. Drizzle with olive … Continue reading

Jalapeno Popper Chicken Casserole
Jalapeno Popper Chicken Casserole is a favorite and easy to-to dinner when we are looking for something hearty and delicious. It includes tender, juice chicken that is coated in a creamy mixture and topped with spicy jalapenos, shredded cheese, and crisp bacon. This is a great recipe for lunch or dinner. The recipe can be found here. Start by cooking the bacon according to package instructions. If you are using rotisserie chicken (which I highly recommend), remove the chicken from the bones and shred. If you are using boneless skinless chicken breasts (which also work just fine), cook and cube or shred. You want the meat to be pre-cooked before assembling the dish. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Spread the chicken in the bottom of a 9×13 baking dish. Season with garlic powder, paprika, and pepper (optional). Whisk together the heavy cream, chicken stock, and cream cheese. Spread … Continue reading

Mediterranean Eating
Sometimes in the winter months we look for lighter dinner options to break away from the warm and hearty meals people typically eat when it’s so cold out. It makes us feel a little healthier and is a great way to get in those veggies 😊 We recently made a Mediterranean Grilled Chicken with Greek Dill Sauce and paired it with Mediterranean Yellow Rice as a side. It was incredible! The chicken was tender and juicy, and the rice was light and fluffy. But the secret to what makes this recipe so good is the seasoning – it makes the dish really savory. The chicken is prepared with allspice, nutmeg, and cardamon, and the yellow rice is prepared with turmeric and cumin, making both dishes a little sweet. So run (don’t walk) to your local Festival Foods to gather ingredients to make this wonderful Mediterranean style dish today! The recipes can be found here: Mediterranean Grilled Chicken … Continue reading

Instant Pot Chicken Tortilla Soup
Instant Pot Chicken Tortilla Soup is a wonderful meal that is made from scratch and is ready in a fraction of the time you would spend making this soup on the stove. It’s hearty, spicy, and something the whole family will love. You can even customize your toppings! Add shredded cheese, cilantro, lemon wedges, tortilla chips – you name it! The recipe can be found here. Start by prepping your ingredients. Mince the garlic, mince the onion, drain and rinse the black beans, drain the corn, slice the cilantro, and slice the lime. Set everything aside and get your Instant Pot ready. Turn the Instant Pot on to the sauté setting and add the olive oil. Once hot, add the onion and garlic. It should start sizzling as soon as it hits the oil! Sauté for 1-2 minutes or until translucent and fragrant. Turn the Instant Pot off. Add the chicken stock and stir to combine. Use a rubber spatula … Continue reading

Instant Pot Chicken Pad Thai
Instant Pot Chicken Pad Thai is better than takeout! I never thought I would say that about a home cooked meal, but it really is. It’s a one-pot dish that’s packed with chicken, veggies, noodles, and pad thai sauce. It’s salty and nutty with just a hint of sweetness. So, skip the takeout and give this a try! The recipe can be found here. As mentioned previously, this is a one-pot dish, so all you need is your Instant Pot, a cutting board, knife, and spoon. Start by slicing the chicken, bell peppers, and green onions. I like to buy matchstick carrots because the work is already done for me. If you can’t find matchstick carrots at the grocery store, you can slice your own. You want them to be very thin…. julienne style. Then, mince the garlic and chop the cilantro. Set the prepared ingredients aside. Add olive oil to the bottom of the Instant Pot. Add the … Continue reading

Chicken Fajita Pasta
Chicken Fajita Pasta is a yummy one-pot recipe you will be sure to enjoy! It’s creamy and packed with peppers, onions, and tender chicken in each bite. The main selling point for me on this recipe is that you cook the entire meal in one-pot which means less dishes and easier clean up. The recipe can be found here. Start by slicing the chicken, onion, and bell peppers, and mince the garlic. Heat oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. You want the skillet to be large enough to cook all the ingredients so make sure you are using a large enough vessel. Add the chicken and cook for 3-4 minutes. Then, add ½ of the fajita seasoning and stir to coat. Continue to cook for another 3-4 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through. It will absorb the fajita flavor and be perfectly seasoned. Remove the chicken from the pan and set … Continue reading

Cajun Chicken Sloppy Joe’s
Cajun Chicken Sloppy Joe’s is a wonderful weeknight meal! It’s easy to make, is done in less than 30 minutes, and is packed full of flavor. The Cajun seasoning really bring this dish together and is a wonderful spice. You can find it at your local Festival Foods or make a homemade version. It pairs well with so many dishes – pasta, shrimp, steak, chicken, etc. and has a bit of a kick. The bold, spicy flavor comes from the cayenne and the earthiness you tastes is from the herbs. Pair the Cajun seasoning with some ground chicken, corn, onions, and melted cheese, and you have a delicious sandwich. The recipe can be found here. Start by preheating the oven to 250 degrees F. This is so you can melt the cheese and toast the buns before assembly. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground chicken and cook to completion, making sure to break … Continue reading
