Welcome to Best Bites, a video series that aims to satisfy your never-ending craving for food content through quick, beautiful videos for the at-home foodie. What's for dinner? Chicken. But not just any plain, baked chicken breast. These simple chicken recipes pack in tons of bold and bright flavors. Chicken is one of the most versatile proteins, and there are plenty of ways to prepare it. Thanks to its mild flavor, it bodes well to many types of dishes, from a honey lemon chicken sheet pan dinner to slow cooker soup to enchiladas. If you currently have some chicken in the freezer that you're not sure what to do with, check out these simple chicken recipes for some inspiration.  Tools needed: Sheet Pan Arguably the worst part of cooking is doing the dishes afterwards. This recipe calls for only one sheet pan, meaning you can spend more time eating and less time cleaning. Toss together chicken tenders and green beans with a delicious sweet and savory honey lemon sauce on top, and you have yourself an incredibly tasty sheet pan dinner.  Tools needed: Nonstick Skillet, Toaster Warm, toasty and oozing with cheese, these chicken, bacon and apple sandwiches are a comforting treat. And they go great with kettle chips and cold beer.  Tools needed: Nonstick Skillet Try this rich and savory maple-glazed chicken tonight. Paired with a sweet potato mash, this meal will make you feel like you're dining out at a high-end restaurant. But it takes less time to cook than nabbing a dinner reservation.  Tools needed: Sheet Pan, Baking Rack, Tongs These aren't your typical greasy, fast food chicken fingers. By baking them in the oven, you use almost no oil. And by toasting the breadcrumbs first, the chicken still has a fryer-like crunch.  Tools needed: Instant Pot There's nothing like a good Instant Pot recipe where you can throw everything in, hit a button and be done — like this Tom Yum soup. Tom Yum hot and sour soup is a Thai-Chinese dish that got its origins in Thailand. In fact, it's still probably one of the most popular dishes in the Southeast Asian country.  Tools needed: Nonstick Skillet, Baking Dish These enchiladas are a great option for a quick and no-fuss dinner. They're stuffed with cheese, chicken and plenty of enchilada sauce — and take about 40 minutes to make. Traditional Mexican enchiladas use corn tortillas, crumbled cheese and are usually stuffed with some type of pepper. Many makers of traditional enchiladas also take pride in making their own enchilada sauce, filled with dried peppers, onion, garlic and tomato. These enchiladas are a more Americanized version, but similar idea.  Tools needed: Slow Cooker, Sheet Pan Skip the bun and fill a sweet potato with slow-cooked Buffalo chicken. The sweet and spicy flavor combination is surprisingly delicious. Top it all with a homemade Blue Cheese Yogurt Dressing and green onions — it's a total flavor bomb. You'll wish you made this recipe sooner.  Tools needed: Nonstick Skillet Who says you can't stick to a ketogenic diet and enjoy a big bowl of comfort food? With this keto-friendly chili recipe, you can have it all. This warm and hearty chili is perfect for cold days when you just don't feel like going outside.

Recipe: Chef Kevin's Chicken Lombardy - WWLTV.com Posted: 18 Mar 2021 10:03 AM PDT  Chef Kevin shares the perfect dish to get you ready to dance with the Lombardi trophy next season! NEW ORLEANS — Chicken Lombardy
Cut each chicken breast evenly in half, lengthwise. One at a time, place a piece of chicken in between two sheets of heavy duty plastic wrap. Using the flat side of a meat mallet, flatten the breast out to a 1/4" thickness. Repeat for all the pieces of chicken. Melt the two tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add in the mushrooms and saute for 3-5 minutes, or until tender. Remove the cooked mushrooms to a waiting plate or bowl, and set aside. Add the flour to a flat plate. Dredge each piece of chicken in it, making sure there's an even coat. In the same skillet you cooked the mushrooms in, melt two tablespoons of the remaining butter. Add two pieces of chicken, and up the heat to medium high. Let the chicken cook until nicely browned on one side, flip and repeat. Transfer the browned breasts to a waiting plate. Add another tablespoon of butter to the skillet, and brown another two breasts. Repeat the steps until all the chicken is browned, and all transferred to the waiting plate. Stir the broth and wine into the drippings in the skillet, whisking to deglaze the pan and get up all those yummy browned bits. Season with Creole seasoning, salt & pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 5 minutes, or until thickened slightly. In a small bowl, whisk together the corn starch and water to make a slurry. Whisk this into the skillet sauce, and let it simmer another 1-2 minutes- until nicely thickened. Remove the skillet from heat, and set aside. Transfer the chicken breasts to a lightly greased 9x13 baking dish, overlapping a bit if necessary to fit them all. Spread the sauteed mushrooms evenly out over top. Pour the sauce evenly out over top of the chicken. Then sprinkle the cheeses evenly out over top, followed by the sliced green onions. Bake the prepared chicken at 450 degrees for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and slightly golden brown. Remove the dish from the oven, and serve immediately.  |

Posted: 18 Mar 2021 12:04 PM PDT Food is about so much more than nutrition—it's one of the most personal expressions of our cultures, values, and traditions. Our series, "Behind the Recipe," profiles a different healthy cook every month to explore the personal, untold stories of their favorite dishes. Cooking has always been a way for me to show love for others, as well as myself, and making comfort food is the ultimate form of demonstration. To me, comfort food is food that makes you feel taken care of. It just makes you feel cozy. Since smell and taste have such a powerful connection to memory, specific foods, especially the ones we find most comforting, can transport us right back to a time when we felt happy or safe. The soup a parent may have made when you were sick, the dinner you have every year on your birthday without fail, the very first meal you and your other half cooked together... I could go on. Memories, at least for me, are what put the comfort in comfort food. And one of my most favorite memories is my honeymoon. My wife Grace and I got married at the end of 2013. We were living in Brooklyn at the time and decided to spend our first days as a married couple in the Hudson Valley. We stayed at a friend's house and spent the week cooking meals together and just relaxing at home. For most couples, a honeymoon is a vacation from regular life. But for us, it was actually a glimpse into what our future as a married couple would look like: a year after our honeymoon, we actually ended up buying a house about 10 minutes from the one where we had spent our honeymoon. When we first got married, we didn't know that we would someday be living in Hudson Valley. It's like we were planting a seed for our future life together. I feel lucky that I can walk around and see reminders of those first days together whenever I want. 
Related Stories  One of the very first meals we shared together as a married couple was a bowl of tortilla soup at a restaurant. It was such a wonderful moment of us sitting across from each other and just sharing our excitement together. We did it! We really got married! We sat there talking about the wedding and the start of our new life together, sharing a bowl of this delicious tortilla soup. As a dish, soup isn't something you tend to share with someone unless you're super close to them. A bread basket or French fries, sure. Soup is more intimate. When I started working on my new cookbook, Simply Julia: 110 Easy Recipes For Healthy Comfort Food ($28), I knew I wanted to include something that could transport me right back to that happy moment on my honeymoon, sharing a bowl of tortilla soup with Grace and we just kept saying the word "wife" over and over to each other. I was very purposeful about calling it "honeymoon chicken" in the book. I've seen other cookbooks with "honeymoon" recipes but not one that clearly acknowledges non-straight couples, so that was important to me. Here's what's so great about this honeymoon chicken recipe: it tastes like you spent all day making it, but it's actually not that time-consuming. The chicken is roasted on a bed of torn corn tortillas and diced tomatoes, onion, and garlic. You can use a whole chicken that you cut up, chicken breasts, thighs...whatever you prefer. It's flexible. You mix a little olive oil with some spices (I like using ground cumin, red chili powder, and cinnamon, which brings a nice, warming sweetness to the dish) and rub that over the chicken pieces. While they roast, all of the things underneath it do, too, and they absorb all of the roasting juices. The end result is bursting with flavor and, of course, extremely comforting. After the chicken is cooked, you park it on a serving platter and blend the tortillas, tomatoes, and onion with some chicken broth and chipotle peppers. I've been married seven years now and every time I make this meal, I'm transported right back to sharing that bowl of tortilla soup on my honeymoon. It makes me feel a deep warmth that I know comes from somewhere beyond the broth, chicken, and spices in the dish. Whether you're making this meal to share with loved ones or to enjoy on your own, I hope it becomes a go-to comfort food in your own life. Just don't forget to make it with love. 
Julia Turshen's honeymoon chickenServes 4 Ingredients 1. Preheat your oven to 400°F. 2. Place the chicken in a large bowl, drizzle with the olive oil, and sprinkle with one teaspoon salt, and the chile powder, cumin, and cinnamon. Use your hands to rub the oil and seasonings all over the chicken. 3. Place the onion, tomato, garlic, and tortilla pieces in a large ovenproof skillet. Mix them together with your hands and spread the mixture out in an even layer. Place the seasoned chicken pieces, skin-side-up, on top of the vegetable mixture. 4. Roast until the chicken is browned, firm to the touch, and registers at least 165°F on a digital thermometer, 45 to 50 minutes. 5. Transfer the chicken to a serving dish and tent with aluminum foil to keep it warm. 6. Transfer the onions, tomato, garlic, tortilla pieces, and any cooking juices from the skillet into a blender along with the chicken stock. Add one of the canned chipotle peppers and the tablespoon of adobo sauce. Blend until smooth, and if you'd like it spicier, add the second pepper (easier to add one than take it out!). Season the sauce to taste with salt. 7. Pour the sauce over the chicken. Sprinkle with the cilantro and serve. As told to Emily Laurence.
