Grilled Chicken Tacos

Chicken Tamale Pie

Chicken Tamale Pie – Oh my gawwwwwssh I love this. All the good things about chicken tamales without any of the tedious work.

BBQ Chicken Sliders

BBQ Chicken Sliders – These are made with grilled chicken legs marinated in a citrus marinade, and then piled onto pretzel rolls and topped with fresh coleslaw. Oh. Yeah. Baby.

Creamy Chicken Mushroom Wild Rice Soup

Creamy Chicken Mushroom Wild Rice Soup – This soup is everything about food that I used to hate, but I now love. I infamously once a long, long, LONG time ago – went to get Subway before going to dinner at my sister-in-law’s house because she was making this. Because I was stupid, and rude, and SOOOO picky. Yup. It had MUSHROOMS and ONION and WILD RICE you guys. GROSS. Oh wait. Those are now some of my favorite things.

Cheesy Chicken Alfredo Rigaton

Cheesy Chicken Alfredo Rigatoni – Classic flavors and made from scratch. So easy.

Spicy Grilled Chicken Wings

Spicy Grilled Chicken Wings – Jeremiah outdid himself on this one. These wings are MY favorite, and such a treat when he makes them! The crispy skin gets done on the grill, and then they are tossed in a super flavorful Asian-inspired sauce.

Chicken Parmigiana

Chicken Parmigiana – LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE this so much. Everything about this.

chicken marsala

Chicken Marsala – not hard, but time consuming when you make it for a crowd. Super impressive dish though, especially for company!

Panko Chicken

Panko Breaded Chicken Breasts – Super crispy crunch thanks to Panko breadcrumbs. This was the first recipe on my site to really take off. Can you believe that was taken with a point-and-shoot??
