All it takes is a tablespoon or two of the right herb to elevate your lunch salads from run-of-the-mill to OMG.

February 15, 2018 by 9 Comments

This white chicken chili is packed full of green chilies and chicken thighs. It creates a generous 12 cup batch that is sure to leave some delicious leftovers. A fun alternative to traditional beef chilies. It's simple to cook, and fast to cleanup, if you use your Instant Pot. If you don't own an Instant Pot then you could brown the chicken and onions on a stovetop, then simmer the chili in a slow cooker for 6-8 hours. It's a bit protein heavy, so just keep that in mind when planning ...

Pan seared chicken thighs are smeared with a hearty pesto sauce, then topped with thinly sliced tomato and bubbly mozzarella cheese. Serve these with zucchini ribbons or our eggplant based monkey breads. Any time I've ever tried caprese style chicken it was made with chicken breasts, which too easily turn dry. With the chicken thighs you don't have to worry about that, these come out tender and juicy. The toppings are really just a bonus. When I calculated the nutrition I left in all ...

It's topped with a creamy buffalo sauce, cheeses, and celery. It's very filling and you'll love how simple this is to create.
