Chicken and Chickpea Salad
This amazing salad is a mix of two types of greens, tender chickpeas, sweet tomatoes, and crunchy croutons, drizzled with Dijon and topped with grilled chicken. It’s healthy, delicious, and pretty easy to make. You can serve this as a lunch of a light dinner. I garnish with some fried potato peel...

Tequila Chicken Skewers
Yesterday was Cinco de Mayo! Ole! What did you guys do? Most of my friends went to bars or were recovering from the Kentucky Derby. Me…well, I worked from 9-noon, but my afternoon appointment was canceled so I had the rest of the day off. As soon as I was able to...

Cocoa Roasted Chicken
The other day I randomly asked my dad to pick up a whole chicken from the market. I honestly can’t even remember the last night I’ve roasted an entire chicken (except for holidays). So yeah, it’s a pretty rare request. I guess I wanted to plop a roasted bird down onto the...

Moroccan Spiced Grilled Chicken
Let’s face it, half the time grilled chicken is boring. Since I’ve never been one for bland flavors, I usually don’t grill chicken unless I use a marinade. It just makes sure the meat stays moist and flavorful. Although it’s such a simple step, don’t leave it out because you get majorly...

Fiesta Chicken
This is a chicken dish that’s easy to make, big on flavor, and fool proof! The flavor profile is kind of similar to chicken enchiladas…but without the tortillas…but don’t worry, you won’t miss the carbs! It starts off with browning chicken breasts in a skillet, then pouring spiced tomatoes and beans over...

Chicken Chili
Oh chili…a food that makes you feel anything but chilly! My family doesn’t eat a huge amount of red meat, so I decided to lighten up regular chili by swapping chicken for the beef! In this version you combine chicken, tomatoes, and chickpeas with a ton of veggies (in case you haven’t...

Rosemary Raspberry Balsamic Grilled Chicken
Although I love cooking with regular balsamic vinegar, raspberry balsamic is definitely my favorite. It’s slightly sweet with a bit of tang…but the fruitiness makes it feel lighter than regular balsamic. It works great in marinades, so this time I use it in a simple grilled chicken recipe. And I mean simple!...

Herb Chicken with Tomato and Asparagus
This recipe is a satisfying meal that contains both your veggies and protein….all in a single skillet (gotta love easy cleanup!). Every ingredient works together…and works beautifully. The juicy tomato melts in your mouth but also keeps the chicken moist. It contrasts with the crispness of the asparagus, which in turn is...

Rosemary Mustard Ricotta Chicken
Rosemary and mustard are a delicious combination…but I decided to amp up the delicious factor by also adding cheese! The thin sliced chicken stays moist due to the added water, while also sucking up every flavor. No ingredient overpowers another in this dish. I stick it underneath the broiler at the very...

Chimichurri Chicken Tortilla Panini
I was watching TV the other day and saw a commercial with a Panini flatbread sandwich. Since I didn’t have the ingredients to make a flatbread, I thought I would use a tortilla on my Panini press instead! It turned out great, my parents absolutely loved it, and so I’m sharing it...

Chicken and Rice Soup
Soup is comforting. When we’re sick or feeling down, we often turn to a bowl of soup for nourishment. The steam and flavors relax us, and make everything seem more at ease. Making soup from scratch is 100% worth it. The flavors are more intense, veggies are still toothsome, and you can...

Breaded Chicken
Classic breaded chicken, but with an upgrade of crispy panko bread crumbs. The simple marinade keeps the chicken moist while a crisp crust forms on the outside of the breast. My dad loves it, and often asks me to make extra so he can have leftovers the next day. 4 chicken breasts...
