Cilantro Caesar Chicken

I bought a little too much cilantro the other day for my citrus cilantro rice, so decided to use some of it to add to my marinade for chicken breasts last night. I decided to use thin sliced chicken breasts … I like that they aren’t too large and are just the perfect size for…

Roasted Chicken and Grilled Artichoke Salad

Artichokes are such a great vegetable, full of antioxidants and low in calories and fat. I decided I’d make a salad for dinner tonight consisting of nothing more than chicken that I’d roast in the oven, mixed greens, grilled artichokes and shaved parmesan cheese. I started by cutting the top inch and most of the…

Caprese Chicken Breasts

I had an overabundance of grape tomatoes in the refrigerator and decided to use them on a Caprese chicken dish for dinner tonight. Dennis loved our dinner this evening! As did I. I’m definitely going to be making this again and again. It’s a great dinner for a warm summer evening and would make a…

Sriracha Orange Bone-in, Skin-on Chicken Thighs

When I opened my refrigerator this morning to pull out my creamer for my coffee, the first two things I spotted were a bottle of sriracha and oranges, front and center in my fruit drawer. I was trying to decide how to season my chicken thighs for dinner tonight and when I saw those two…

Greek Yogurt Ranch Chicken Recipe

Don’t we all love ranch dressing, at least to some extent? Maybe it brings back memories of being a kid, or of our own kids … everything seems to taste better dipped in ranch – carrots, celery, chicken nuggets, French fries, I could go on and on, but you get the picture. Tonight for dinner,…
