Spicy Grilled Chicken Salad
Disclaimer: This post is sponsored by El Yucateco Hot Sauce, all opinions and thoughts are my own. Spicy Grilled Chicken Salad is on the menu! Summer is finally here and it’s time to dust off the barbecue grill and get to cooking. Just in time for the July 4th holiday as well! My favorite dish to make in the summer days is this Spicy Grilled Chicken Salad, not only is it healthy but it comes together in no time. Honestly, the only thing that takes time is the marination and once that’s done just slap it on the grill and you’re done..well minus the salad chopping bit(bagged salad…

Healthy Chicken Lettuce Wraps
I have been making these delicious and healthy chicken lettuce wraps for a couple of years now and my family absolutely loves them! I love the fact that they take less than 30 minutes to put on the table too! Make this recipe yours by adding or omitting ingredients to your liking. I have previously made these with tofu, ground turkey, pork and beef, choose whichever protein you like! I’ve eaten these at PF Chang’s and other Oriental restaurants but I wanted to come up with a recipe and put my own twist on it so here you have it. Enjoy!

What more could you ask for in a dish right? Kabobs of different variations are on rotation every two weeks or so in my household. If you don’t have lemons on hand, use limes! I have used both and the dish turns out great either way! You could place the skewers over a salad or in a pita pocket for a quick lunch or light dinner. I placed them on a bed of couscous…

Tandoori Chicken Tzatziki Pita Pockets
These Tandoori Chicken Tzatziki Pita Pockets are perfect for a quick weeknight meal or even lunch. I often whip these up ahead of time and assemble them at the last minute when I’m in a hurry. The Tzatziki will stay fresh in the fridge (in an airtight sealed container) for upwards of one week although in my house it’s usually gone in a few days. Grill a batch of the tandoori chicken a few days ahead, and it can re-purposed for other dishes as well as this one. Make-ahead dishes are my favorite, time is very precious and unpredictable due to the baby, therefore make-ahead meals are definitely a lifesaver…
