Chicken Alfredo Stuffed Shells

Chances are, if people were polled and asked for words and phrases synomous with “comfort food,” that both stuffed shells and alfredo would be high up on the list of results.

I saw no reason not to combine these ideas to make the ultimate comfort food dish, so here we are.

This recipe for chicken alfredo stuffed shells is the best one out there, in my opinion. The alfredo sauce has a hint of lemon zest to brighten it up, and the shells are baked in a cast iron skillet so they get some yummy crusty edges.

This Creamy Chicken Tortellini Soup Recipe will become a weeknight favorite!

My daughter has turned into a certified soup kid. She loves any and all soup. Which means that I’m planning on lots of soup for dinners this winter. Because you know what? I’m a soup kid, too.

One of our all-time favorites is this Chicken Tortellini Soup. When I say it’s the most flavorful soup you’ll find on the internet, I mean it.

Ingredient choices like chicken thighs and a hint of nutmeg might be a little unconventional, but you’ll understand after just one spoonful!

“This was brought to a soup bar at school on a parent night to serve teachers. It is still, 3 years later, discussed as the best soup we’ve eaten. We actually hunted down the parent who made the soup and got the recipe to pass around. It is still common in the halls to hear, “I made the chicken tortellini soup last night!” Yup, that good.”

This Baked Chicken Caprese is bursting with flavor!

If the word “caprese” makes your mouth water, this is the perfect chicken recipe for you.

While caprese salad is best at the height of summer when tomatoes are at their peak, this Baked Chicken Caprese uses grocery store grape tomatoes any time of the year.

This skillet baked recipe uses simple ingredients to make succulent chicken breasts topped with a sweet burst tomato sauce and gooey cheese.

Spice things up with this recipe for Sheet Pan Chicken Fajitas

While I MAKE a lot of sheet pan dinners for my family, I haven’t published a lot around here, so I’m working to change that.

All good sheet pan recipes should have one thing in common: you can make a whole meal (or the vast majority of it) on one sheet pan.

But under the term “sheet pan dinners,” some recipes are more complicated than others.

A lot of recipes call for adding different ingredients at different times, and by the time you’ve opened and closed the oven a half dozen times, it’s feeling, well, less than simple.

These Sheet Pan Chicken Fajitas are made on one pan (just add some warmed tortillas for serving) and the best part is, you put everything on the pan at once, pop it in the oven, and forget about it for a bit!

This Shawarma Chicken is a Detroit classic!

I’ve introduced you to many classic Detroit foods, including Detroit style pizza and corned beef egg rolls. And thanks to a large Middle Eastern population, Detroit is also famous for our chicken shawarma!

It’s sold everywhere from ballparks to gas stations, with my favorite being from a restaurant called Bucharest Grill. Today, I am sharing my homemade version of this irresistible wrap sandwich.

While it may look like a long list of ingredients, it’s very fast to put together. In fact, you can make the chicken shawarma marinade and the sauce for the wraps at the same time. I’ll also offer shortcut ideas to make it even easier for a busy weeknight.

This pistachio crusted chicken is packed with flavor!

Crusting chicken with pistachios is a way to break up the monotony of baked chicken for dinner several nights a week.

This pistachio crusted chicken is anything but monotonous. Not only does it have a super crunchy crust from pistachios and panko breadcrumbs, but the chicken is seasoned with Mexican-inspired spices.

A little sprinkle of cumin, paprika, cayenne, cinnamon and salt sets this pistachio chicken recipe apart from the others.

Pile it into a torta-inspired sandwich, or serve it with rice and a roasted vegetable. It has a unique flavor that is still versatile enough to pair with just about anything.

This chicken pizza recipe has layers of flavor!

A recipe with this much flavor is usually one that involves hours and hours to develop that flavor (totally true of my fettuccine bolognese).

But, just like my gyro pizza, this chicken pizza recipe uses shortcuts from the grocery store to achieve a gourmet pizzeria flavor in just about a half an hour.

With unique, chef-inspired ingredients like roasted garlic, fresh mozzarella cheese and everything bagel seasoning, this will be the best chicken breast pizza you’ve ever made at home.

The recipe card includes instructions for cooking it in the oven OR on the grill (a perfect summer meal).

These buttermilk chicken tenders are so flavorful!

Buttermilk chicken tenders present an opportunity to add a lot of flavor, but not everybody takes advantage of it.

Instead of simply coating chicken tenders in buttermilk, breading them and frying them, let’s add some more flavor to the buttermilk marinade so that the end result is a chicken tender that is not only golden brown and crispy, but hugely flavorful and savory.

Just like with my buttermilk chicken marinade, the garlic, mustard, hot sauce and paprika in the marinade for these buttermilk fried chicken tenders make them flavorful enough to just eat on their own. Your family will be begging you to make these crispy, flavor-packed tenders every single week!

They can also be served with dipping sauces, or added to a Spring salad or piled onto a sandwich for a larger meal.

Ground Chicken Meatballs

Now that I’m my 40’s and ever-so-predictably watching my cholesterol, ground beef, pork and lamb recipes are happening in our house less and less (lamb bolognese is saved for a special occasion).

In red meat’s place, I’m definitely turning to ground turkey and chicken wherever possible. Meatballs are one recipe where I don’t feel like they NEED to be beef to be delicious.

In fact, these Greek chicken meatballs are not only one of my favorite New Year’s Eve snacks (along with ham and turkey sliders), but I make them just about every other week as a quick dinner by adding a few side dishes.

So grab a rosemary gin cocktail, and let’s chat about these delicious Mediterranean meatballs. They can be baked or air fried, and served with things like feta, orzo and tzatziki to make them extra special.

“I have made this recipe so many times in the last year, I don’t even need to look at it anymore. The meatballs are so tasty, and when I was trying to lose weight, these were one dish I could enjoy guilt free. The whole family enjoys them too; you can throw them in a marinara sauce and use them in a meatball sub, or with pasta, or even cold leftovers out of the fridge!”
