This week’s recipes:

This Greek Chicken Skillet dinner served on a plate with orzo.

Greek Chicken Skillet

I love this recipe as it’s quick to prep (in the oven in 25 minutes!) and is baked in a flavorful tomato sauce that is perfect for spooning over rice or orzo.

Prep ahead: You can marinate the chicken up to a day ahead!

Chorizo Goat Cheese Pasta

I love this one as it’s packed with flavor yet feels doable even on a busy weeknight. Goat cheese and a bit of pasta cooking water create a super fast and creamy sauce and the bit of tang compliments the chorizo.

Notes: Mild or spicy Italian sausage is a great substitute for the chorizo.

Hot Honey Chicken on a plate with broccoli.

Hot Honey Chicken

This crispy chicken feels like a real treat. Feel free to use store-bought hot honey instead of making your own.

Time saving tip: I almost always make a double batch and freeze half. Place the uncooked chicken on a parchment paper lined baking sheet, freeze, then once frozen, transfer them to a freezer bag. Bake from frozen, adding several extra minutes to the baking time.

See Recipe
A plate of Caesar salad with romaine lettuce, croutons, shaved parmesan, and a bowl of creamy Caesar Salad Dressing made with Greek Yogurt on the side for extra flavor.

Greek Yogurt Salad Dressing

Make a jar of this at the beginning of the week and enjoy it on salads with all of your meals.
