Chinese Chicken Salad
This is the kind of salad that actually feels like dinner. You’ve got chicken, crisp greens and cabbage, mandarin oranges, plenty of crunch, and a sesame-ginger dressing pulling the whole thing together.
-

Chili Relleno
My grandma made an awesome chili relleno, and when I made this one, I think I might have actually recreated hers. That’s a pretty big compliment coming from me because hers is the one I remember.

Chicken Parmesan Meatball Casserole
Chicken Parmesan without standing over a skillet frying individual pieces of chicken? I’m in. This casserole takes those familiar chicken parm flavors and turns them into a hearty pasta dinner with chicken meatballs, marinara, and plenty of melted cheese.

Chicken, Bacon & Ranch Pizza
Chicken, bacon, ranch, cheese…there really isn’t a weak link in that lineup. This one goes right on the grill, which means you get a golden crust without heating up the kitchen. It’s also a great way to turn leftover cooked chicken into something nobody is going to complain about eating.

Baked Chicken Tacos
Tacos are already pretty hard to argue with, but baking a whole batch at once makes them even better. Crispy shells, warm chicken filling, melted cheese—and everybody gets fed without you standing at the stove assembling tacos one at a time.
