Main Dishes
-
Hot Italian Sandwich Ring
This is one of those recipes that looks impressive without requiring you to spend half the day in the kitchen. Deli meats, melty cheese, roasted peppers, and crescent dough all baked into one big shareable sandwich ring.
-
Easy Cheesy Calzone
Ricotta, mozzarella, pizza sauce, and whatever fillings you’re in the mood for get tucked inside pizza dough and baked until golden. It’s easy, customizable, and especially handy when everybody wants something a little different.
-
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.
