The Best Crispy Chicken Cutlets

The Best Crispy Chicken Cutlets

This recipe for crispy chicken cutlets is one of the best chicken recipes you’ll ever try. Thinly sliced chicken breasts are breaded and then pan fried until golden in color and perfectly crispy. Chicken cutlets are a staple recipe that I cook almost weekly for a variety of dishes. I love to top a salad with them, serve veggies alongside, make chicken parmesan, sandwiches, and even snack on them straight out of the fridge leftover. They are so flavorful and versatile that you are going to want to make them weekly too.

Cajun BBQ Chicken 3 Ways

Slow Cooker Cajun BBQ Chicken 3 Ways

This post is sponsored by Tony Chachere’s, but all opinions are 100% my own.

Weeknight cooking can seem daunting when back to school rolls around and schedules get hectic. One of my favorite weeknight cooking hacks for busy times is to cook once and eat it multiple times throughout the week. To prevent my family from getting tired of a certain dish, I like to make multiple meals out of one recipe. I partnered with my friends at Tony Chachere’s to create this delicious Slow Cooker Cajun BBQ Chicken recipe that you can eat three different ways throughout the week. This recipe will quickly become one of your go-to weeknight meals that your whole family will love.

Easy Skillet Chicken Parmesan

Easy Skillet Chicken Parmesan

We are officially entering the season of cozy foods and to me that means more soups, pastas, and stick to your bones kinds of recipes will start to be made in my kitchen and probably in yours too. Skillet meals are something I try to cook a lot of because it always means less clean up for me and honestly, even though I love cooking, I absolutely dread the dishes afterwards. So anytime I can use less dishes to make a meal, then I am all for it. That’s why I decided to create this recipe for easy skillet chicken parmesan that would be a one pan deal that’s easy enough to make on any night of the week.

Sheet Pan Apricot Chicken and Broccoli

Life has been interesting to say the least the past two months right? Quarantine life has definitely taught me things about myself that I didn’t know and challenged me in new ways. Mostly because of the amount I have been cooking, there are some nights where I am just not sure I have it in me to make one more meal. I have never felt like that before, but when you are cooking three meals a day, every day, for everyone in the family, it can burn out even those of us who love to cook! I am sure you can relate, which is why simple and easy dinners are lifesavers right now. Sheet pan meals have always been a go-to dinner for me on nights where I just do not want a bunch of dishes to clean up. I can place everything on the same pan, it goes into the oven, and dinner is done and done. Minimal effort and maximum flavor is what I am all about. My sheet pan apricot chicken and broccoli is one of my new favorite sheet pan dinners and I know that your whole family will love it too.
