I love eating Mexican food as it’s one of my favorite cuisines. Tacos, enchiladas, and tortillas seriously make my world go ’round. So, you can imagine my delight when I stumbled upon this amazing Mexican casserole. It has everything in it that a burrito-loving gal, such as myself, could ever want in a baking dish.

Enchilada sauce enraptures spicy chicken breast, black beans, salsa, and savory herbs in this one-dish supper. Your family will be doing backflips all the way to the table. This casserole serves 4-6 people so I always make a double batch for my brood of 5 (we’re big eaters). The recipe calls for Mexican shredded cheese but I’ve used sharp cheddar before and it turned out just fine.

Are you looking for a way to spice up your lunch? Try chicken and noodle salad! This zesty dish has all the flavors that make food wonderful. Ginger and sesame seeds are just a few of the savory spices in the mix. We know you’re going to love this recipe because it tastes great and it’s super easy to make! That’s right, it’s insanely easy to throw together for a midday meal.

I like to prepare this recipe when I’m expecting lunch guests. It always goes over well because it’s not too heavy but not so light that you leave feeling hungry. Chicken and noodle salad goes well with a large pitcher of fruit-infused water or lemonade. Serve fruit bowls for dessert with a dollop of Cool Whip for a healthy noon meal!

My little ones really enjoyed this chicken because of the sweetness. I substituted the brown sugar for a stevia baking blend that I have on hand but it didn’t taste as good as the brown sugar version.

My family could detect that I used stevia instead of sugar, too. They grumbled and complained about it but I told them that at least their glycemic index wasn’t being impacted LOL They weren’t amused. If I were you, I’d go the brown sugar route for this recipe.

Normally with soups, you have to eat them alongside something else, but this soup is so filling, it is a meal in and of itself. However, if you’d like to pair a grilled cheese sandwich with it, we won’t hold it against you.

This recipe serves 4-6 people and is ready in under 30 minutes.  You’ll want to make extra and keep it in the fridge because it’s so yummy and creamy.

Quick Tip: Instead of using store-bought, feel free to make your own gnocchi.

I admit, I am a sucker for little pieces of fried chicken breast. I especially love these chicken breast pieces when they come coated in an orange glaze. You might think that you have to visit your nearest Chinese restaurant to get this saucy treat, but you don’t. Instead, make them in your own kitchen!

Not many restaurants use breast meat, it’s mostly thigh, which is ok, but not as good as breast in my opinion. So when I tried this recipe I was skeptical of how the sweet chili sauce was going to play with the Franks red hot and mayo (which is a sauce combination I use often for dipping). To my surprise, they played very well with each other. As far as the chicken itself, these little fried pillows of tastiness really are crispy on the outside and tender and juicy on the inside. This dish will make you the star of your next Asian inspired dinner party.
