Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo
We made this comfort food lighter by using "half and half" instead of full cream and by eliminating most of the butter. It still has the rich flavors and creamy texture but we don't feel so guilty after each bite!

Chicken Parmesan Sandwich
Wednesday, February 24, 2010
This is a simple meal but your kids won't even notice that they are eating tomatoes because the lycopene-packed fruits are perfectly disguised in this cheesy, saucy sandwich. And it's a great way to use the yummy breaded chicken from our Chicken Parmigiana either as a leftover sandwich or as the primary meal.
Chicken Tikka Masala
Saturday, February 20, 2010
Over the past couple of years we have made Tikka Masala many times in an effort to perfect it. It typically has heavy cream so our goal has been to create a lighter version while matching the restaurant creaminess and flavor. The last time we made this, our fifteen-month old son couldn't get enough of it!
Chicken Pistou Pasta
Friday, February 19, 2010
I'm a fan of pistou, the French version of pesto, because it doesn't have pine nuts. The sauce is light and doesn't overpower the pasta. Made without chicken, this pistou pasta would also make a yummy side dish.
Teriyaki Chicken
Thursday, February 11, 2010
This teriyaki chicken is the closest I've come to matching the teriyaki chicken served at our favorite local sushi restaurant. I use my Flank Steak Marinade recipe with the addition of cornstarch or flour to help thicken the sauce into a rich teriyaki glaze.
Lime Chicken
Thursday, February 11, 2010
My family loves this lime chicken in tacos and on salads and nachos. The chicken caramelizes when cooked in the lime juice, creating browned, slightly crispy edges with a tender and juicy interior.
Chicken Nachos
Sunday, January 10, 2010
Nachos are a fun and colorful way to serve a meal to your family and they are also the perfect party fare. While the tortilla chips are a splurge, the loaded nachos provide a lean protein, vegetables and calcium. Load 'em up with lime chicken {or your favorite meat}, beans, guacamole, salsa and chopped tomatoes and let everyone dig in.
Cajun Fajitas
Saturday, January 9, 2010
This fajita marinade is super easy to throw together at the last minute but the fajitas are even better the longer the meat has to marinate. Serve the fajitas with avocado slices and a fajita pepper mix for a colorful and healthy meal.
Taco Meat
Monday, January 4, 2010
This taco meat doesn't require any store-bought seasoning packets but it is just as easy to make. It is so juicy and flavorful that you can easily substitute ground turkey or chicken for a healthier option (and some people might not even notice a difference!).
Baked Chicken Tenders
Tuesday, December 29, 2009
Make this healthier baked version of fried chicken tenders without sacrificing any of the flavor. For a fun and creative dinner, have a dipping sauce competition where every member of the family makes a dipping sauce. Then act as taste testers during dinner to select your favorites.
