Chicken & Quinoa Casserole

This aromatic and flavorful dish feels like veggie pizza in casserole form with fresh basil, herb-spiked diced tomatoes and ooey-gooey melted cheese on top. If you can't find fresh mozzarella ciliegine, buy a larger ball and tear it into pieces.  Preheating your baking sheets encourages caramelization of the roasted veggies, which adds layers of flavor to this savory dinner.

Jerk Chicken

Sweet, savory and spicy all at once, this jerk chicken recipe is absolutely delicious. Try the jerk chicken marinade on pork loin, firm white fish or even goat if you can find it. The wood chips are optional if you're grilling, but they add an authentic, subtle flavor to the chicken. Serve with a slightly sweet side dish, such as sweet potatoes or cornbread, to balance the heat. Recipe adapted from chef Jacqui Sinclair.

Chicken Piccata Casserole

This protein-packed chicken piccata casserole brings all the flavors of classic chicken piccata together in one dish. It’s the easiest piccata you’ll ever make—no dredging or sauce required! Cooking the lemon slices in butter mellows their bite and helps jump-start the lemony flavor of the dish while helping the butter get a little brown, bringing some nuttiness to the dish. While capers are traditional, you can skip them or swap them out for chopped green olives if you prefer.

Chicken Cutlets with Sun-Dried Tomato Cream Sauce (Marry Me Chicken)

Though a chicken cutlet may be a chicken breast cut in half, this recipe shows how to make chicken cutlets with double the deliciousness. A jar of sun-dried tomatoes does double duty for this healthy dinner idea. The flavorful oil they're packed in is used to sauté the chicken, and the tomatoes go into the cream sauce.

Sheet-Pan Crispy Chicken Tacos

These crispy chicken tacos are filled and baked on a sheet pan for a super-crunchy exterior and warm, melty middle. The creamy avocado crema combined with fresh cilantro is the perfect accompaniment. Don’t be tempted to squeeze the tacos onto one baking sheet—they crisp up best with plenty of space. Be sure to rotate the pans halfway through baking so they cook evenly.

Skillet Chicken Parm

We skipped breading in this healthy one-dish chicken Parm recipe to save time. There's still plenty of gooey cheese, and the garlic, pepper flakes and oregano lend big flavor. Serve with pasta or in a hoagie roll with the sauce (there's lots of it) spooned on top. In sandwich form, it's easily wrapped in foil and eaten on the go.

Creamy Spinach & Artichoke Chicken Skillet

It’s a one-pan wonder that comes together quickly, perfect for those busy nights when you crave something comforting yet sophisticated without spending hours in the kitchen. We prefer tender canned artichokes here, but be sure to give them a good rinse to wash away some of the sodium. Add some crushed red pepper to give this dish a little kick.
