This rendition of a chicken and eggplant Parmesan sandwich is satisfying and light, a perfect summer meal. Wrap the chicken and eggplant in large lettuce leaves for a main course or in smaller leaves for an appetizer.

Eggplant parmigiana is a great way to get your family to eat eggplant because by dredging it in egg and flour, it becomes soft and tender and the flavor mellows out. In this rendition of eggplant parmesan, I have combined chicken and eggplant parmesan strips into a sandwich. When mixed in with the chicken strips, your family may not even notice that eggplant is included.

Huevos rancheros is a popular Mexican dish consisting of fried eggs on top of lightly-fried corn tortillas, all smothered in cooked salsa. My family's version of this Mexican breakfast incorporates warmed homemade corn tortillas, chunks of chicken, black beans, fried eggs, salsa verde and cilantro.

These BBQ sandwiches are easy to make and a great way to use up basic ingredients. I often make them for a quick and satisfying lunch but they are also great for dinner, especially when you have a busy night planned.

Creating a teppanyaki-style meal at home is easier than you think. Our home-cooked version is full of the flavors that we love but it is much lighter and healthier than the restaurant versions.

This chili is easy to make and can be made on the stovetop or in a slow-cooker. I used leftover BBQ chicken but it would also be good with ground chicken, turkey or beef.

The origins of chicken cordon bleu are unclear but it is thought to be an American dish, not French, as the name implies. I baked the chicken to make the dish lighter, and added a creamy mushroom sauce to complete this rich, comforting (and guilt-free) meal.

We liked the carne asada tacos that we made a while ago so much that we decided to make them with chicken. The marinade is very similar to that which we used on the steak. It is such a simple dinner to pull together but the flavors are so satisfying.

Many variations of arroz con pollo can be found throughout Latin America and the Caribbean but some claim that it is the unofficial national dish of Puerto Rico. The dish, literally meaning "rice with chicken," is thought to have originated in Spain and has definite similarities with the popular Spanish dish, paella. The pimiento-stuffed green olives in this version are a signature addition from Puerto Rico.
