If you only make one roast chicken recipe for the rest of your life, let it be this Crispy Garlic Roast Chicken. I know roasting a whole hen can be a pain, but it really doesn't have to be.

Cheesy Pesto Chicken Sliders
Sliders are one of my go-to party foods. I'm famous for my hot ham and cheese sliders. I've also experimented with different flavor and meat combos. I made some copycat Arby's sliders for Christmas and they were insanely good. These sliders, though, might be my new favorite. They're incredibly simple (you only need a few… Continue reading Cheesy Pesto Chicken Sliders
Pretzel-Crusted Chicken with Cheesy Mustard Sauce
One of my current snack obsessions is Pretzel Crisps. I swear I go through one of the jumbo, Costco-sized bags of them within two weeks. Usually, I dip them in something (literally ANY dip goes well with the plain flavored Pretzel Crisps) but then I end up snacking on them by themselves. Just a girl,… Continue reading Pretzel-Crusted Chicken with Cheesy Mustard Sauce
Creole Dirty Rice
Dirty rice is one of those dishes you'll get a thousand comments on. "My mom always made it with this" "It's best with sausage instead of ground beef" "You've got to use day old rice" "Cook the rice in with the meat, not in two pots" Dirty rice is a universally beloved Creole dish that's… Continue reading Creole Dirty Rice
Buffalo Chicken Tater Tot Casserole
It's Super Bowl Sunday! My husband's favorite team is in the Super Bowl...again. We usually go all out for Chiefs Super Bowls, but this year we are keeping it more low-key. We're making our own personal pizzas and that's about it. I like to eat buffalo wings on SB Sundays. This year, I made a… Continue reading Buffalo Chicken Tater Tot Casserole
Chicken Pot Pie Skillet
It's that time of year again when you can't get enough hearty meals. I've been a soup and stew wizard in the kitchen over the last few weeks. Roasts and meatballs and pasta flood the refrigerator. When the temperatures dip below freezing, you need to have a good stockpile of hearty meals ready at hand.… Continue reading Chicken Pot Pie Skillet
Greek Yogurt Chicken Salad
Chicken salad is a great lunch to take to work. It feels like you're getting more out of your sandwich than if you're just bringing a regular ol' turkey and cheese sandwich. Chicken salad is filling and hearty, if you can call a cold salad "hearty". There is one problem with chicken salad though: it's… Continue reading Greek Yogurt Chicken Salad
Sweet Chili Chicken & Green Beans
The first few weeks after the New Year seem to drag. There's this sort of limbo between the Holidays and Summer that appears to last forever. The cold wintery months in between don't help, either. The New Year means a new time to get back to doing the same thing over and over and over… Continue reading Sweet Chili Chicken & Green Beans
Gnocchi with Butternut Squash & Chicken Sausage
The other day, I was having a hell of a time trying to find something to make for dinner. I had an assortment of ingredients in my pantry and fridge but couldn't figure out what to make with them. I had a sudden lightning bolt of inspiration and this recipe was born. I'm glad something… Continue reading Gnocchi with Butternut Squash & Chicken Sausage
Chicken Cordon Bleu Rice Casserole
Chicken Cordon Bleu used to be THE meal you would make to impress dinner guests. It's an impressive dish. It takes a lot of effort to make. The end product looks impressive, especially when you cut into the crispy chicken breast and gooey cheese melts out. It's like a chicken version of beef Wellington, but… Continue reading Chicken Cordon Bleu Rice Casserole
