Works great as a hot dish with a starch or as salad additions! marinades add awesome flavor to the chicken pretty easily- 1/4 cup each red wine vinegar and olive oil, 6 grated garlic cloves, 2.5tsp salt, and a bunch (1tbsp) of dried oregano is roughly the Molly Baz marinade recipe I tried this week on a pack of chicken thighs, and it was great! Added some roasted carrot and rice pilaf for one dinner, then added the carrots and chicken to a salad today.
I also have gotten into making a flavorful ground turkey for a base - either taco style and make burrito bowls, tacos even nachos lol OR a larb style (recipe linked) and do a larb bowl with rice or mix the turkey with wavy stir fry noodles or cold rice noodle bowls. If you don’t mind eating things with the same flavor profile for multiple days, there are a bunch of options with these two flavors.
I like making things from scratch, but I’ve found using premade marinades and sauces makes it so much easier.
I am lactose too- these should all be fine to do without dairy! I just do guac or get lactose free sour cream on the taco nights

Broiling chicken thighs- this is my favorite way to cook chicken- try a marinade or just oil, s and p. It gets sizzling and almost a grilled texture for like ten minutes of cooking time- you can’t screw it up, and it’s juicy.
Ground turkey- I either do it taco style or something like larb- linked- and make bowls for the week.

I know, I know. Chicken and rice is boring, but it doesn’t have to be. Different veg, different sauce, different seasonings, it can be so many things. This week we did chicken thighs in two different marinades. One Greek and one pretty simple salt, pepper, garlic. On one bowl we did mixed greens, pickled red onions cucumber, chickpeas and Greek vinaigrette. Then basically the same toppings but with a creamy pesto sauce on the other. Both were so top tier, so easy, and full of nutrition.

1 // CHICKEN LETTUCE WRAPS
in a bowl, add peanut butter, soy sauce, sesame oil, hoisin sauce, brown sugar, chili oil, squeeze half a lime. taste it and when it seems good add enough water to make it saucy enough to coat the amount of chicken you have (prob like 1/2 cup). separately, dice bell peppers into little squares, dice garlic and also an onion or shallot. in a hot pan with oil, cook up your veg mix for a few mins (decide how crunchy you want the peppers), set aside. add a splash more oil and your ground chicken. once it’s fully cooked and starting to brown, add back in your veg and your sauce mix. taste it at this point and maybe splash some more soy sauce on it. eat straight up with a spoon or use lettuce (green leaf or butter) to make little wraps!

I’m a project manager for a prepared food company, and the majority of the projects I work on are soup. We’re mostly private label, so we make the store brand soups in the deli section for most of the big grocery stores.
One time at a big meeting our boss got a cameo from the “no soup for you!” Guy from Seinfeld to pump us up (?)

Greater than the sum of its parts- I still never get how AR packs so much into her recipes while only a few ingredients and easy to make.
