    • Easy Chicken Dinner Recipes -->This collection of easy chicken dinner recipes features some of our favorite family dishes, perfect for making a healthy, delicious home cooked meal on a busy night! Getting a healthy, home cooked meal on the table every night can be challenging. Particularly with the demands of work, school, activities and social obligations, well, it can be the last thing we want to do at the end of the day. So I’ve got tons of easy chicken recipes at my disposal that I turn to when I need to whip something up for us on one of those busy weeknights. (Or even busy weekends – dinners can be tough then, too!) And this collection of easy chicken dinner recipes has some that we make over and over again. It includes everything from skillet chicken dinners to slow cooker chicken recipes, one-pot chicken pastas, soups and salads with chicken, chicken burgers and meatballs, sheet pan chicken dinners and easy chicken casseroles. Are you looking for fast as well as easy? Me too. I’ve got collections of chicken recipes in under 30 minutes and, faster still, chicken recipes in under 15 minutes. Or if you want to browse them all, my quick chicken recipes…
      • Easy Chicken Recipes with Few IngredientsThese easy chicken recipes with few ingredients include some great healthy lunch and dinner options, all made with 5 or fewer ingredients! I am all about the EASY when it comes to cooking. I don’t like to fuss much over my food and I certainly don’t like to spend a ton of time in the kitchen at the end of a long day. Easy chicken dinner recipes and healthy lunch recipes with chicken are much more my style. (As are chicken recipes in under 30 minutes and, faster yet, chicken recipes in under 15 minutes. Cause life.) Speaking of life, a million trips to the grocery store also aren’t fun during a busy week. (Especially with little ones in tow!) So I’ve got these go-to easy chicken recipes with few ingredients that help me keep dinnertime simple. And my sanity intact. In fact, one of the first cookbooks I bought on my own, at a used bookstore in Washington, D.C., where I lived for a few years after college, was titled 3-ingredient recipes. I was pretty new to cooking and thought, I think I can handle that. My cooking skills have improved, but I still go for the simple chicken recipes…
      • Quick Chicken RecipesThis collection of quick chicken recipes features some of our favorite family dinners and go-to lunches, all ready in 30 minutes or less! From chicken skillet dinners to one-pot pastas, salads to burgers, you’re sure to find some new favorites! If you know me, you know I am ALL about the quick and easy recipes. I love making all of our homemade meals and home cooked dinners, but like you, I’ve also got a hundred other things to juggle and so keeping things simple in the kitchen is a must. And these quick chicken recipes include all of my chicken recipes in under 30 minutes and, even faster, chicken recipes in under 15 minutes. Sanity savers for sure. Busy weeknights have nothing on us! A few of our favorites from these quick chicken recipes: Healthy chicken Alfredo with broccoli Creamy chipotle chicken 20-minute chicken and tortellini soup with kale Skillet salsa chicken Easy creamy chicken This collection also has some healthy lunch recipes with chicken for mixing up your lunch routine. (It doesn’t include my slow cooker chicken recipes though, since those aren’t ready in 30 minutes. But they can be super quick to prep in the morning and then…
        • Chicken Recipes in Under 15 MinutesThese easy chicken recipes in under 15 minutes are perfect for dinner on a busy weeknight! From one-pot wonders to salads, chicken skillets to tacos, you’re sure to find some new fast favorites! You know those nights when you walk in the door and need dinner pronto?! Like, 5 minutes ago? That’s when I turn to these quick and easy chicken recipes in under 15 minutes. I can make a healthy, home cooked meal for my family and be sitting down to enjoy it in no time. Cause plenty of evenings, 15 minutes is often all the time I have – or want to spend – on dinner. I’m not alone on that, right?! You can browse below but I thought I’d highlight a couple that I make over and over again. A few of our favorite easy chicken recipes in under 15 minutes: 15-minute honey garlic chicken (gets rave reviews!) Southwest chicken skillet dinner (pile on your favorite toppings!) Quick chicken curry (perfect with rice and peas) One-pot low-carb leftover chicken recipe with spinach (my dad’s go-to recipe) This collection also includes some healthy lunch options that are quick to put together — like the Asian chicken mason jar…
        • Chicken Recipes in Under 30 MinutesThese easy chicken recipes in under 30 minutes are perfect for dinner on a busy weeknight! From one-pan meals to burgers, one-pot pastas to healthy salads, you’re sure to find some new favorites! Quick, easy and mostly healthy is pretty much the name of the game for dinner at my house. I love a home cooked meal and we eat a ton of chicken, which means I’ve come up with and found a lot of easy chicken recipes over the years. And this collection highlights some of my easy chicken recipes in under 30 minutes, when you want something delicious but need it on the table pretty quickly. Is that every single night for you too? We’ve got everything from skillet chicken dishes to chicken pasta and from soups and salads with chicken to chicken meatballs and burgers. All the chicken love! Many of these recipes use boneless, skinless chicken breasts (though you could substitute chicken thighs if you prefer) while others use ground chicken and some rely on pre-cooked chicken, such as a rotisserie chicken you pick up at the store or some leftover grilled or baked chicken. Lots of these 30 minute chicken dinners are complete meals but…
      • Healthy One-Pot Chicken DinnersHealthy one-pot chicken dinners are such a help on busy days! This collection includes everything from one-pot pastas and skillets to easy slow cooker and sheet pan recipes to help you get an easy, healthy and delicious dinner on the table any night! I am ALL about quick and easy meals. I cook our dinner 99% of the time, including on days when work has blown up in my face, or the kids have decided to coordinate their melt-downs, or we’re all just wiped out and hungry. And even though I love to cook, I definitely have those days when I’m just not feeling it. Enter some quick and easy one-pot chicken dinners for the win! These are great to have in your back pocket for busy days, busy weeks or in case of a “kids-are-making-me-crazy” kinda moment. (My husband also loves these meals because he’s on clean-up duty and it’s nice not to have a huge pile of dishes staring you down after dinner!) Many of these dishes are complete meals on their own. Others are low-carb as written, but can easily be paired with some rice, pasta, bread or potatoes to bulk them up a bit. Here are…
      • Slow Cooker Chicken RecipesThese hands-off slow cooker chicken recipes will put your slow cooker to work and have you coming home to a delicious, healthy dinner that’s ready to go! Some days, you just need someone else to make you dinner. I’m not talking takeout or delivery or a restaurant dinner. I’m talking about your crock pot or slow cooker. I find it supremely satisfying to go about my day, knowing that a delicious home cooked dinner is cooking up at home for me. I can play with the kids, take them to practices, run errands or just relax with a book and breathe easy. These slow cooker chicken recipes mean there is just one less thing to do in the evening and that’s a great thing on a busy day! This collection includes slow cooker recipes for boneless, skinless chicken breasts as well as chicken thighs (though you can usually sub either one). And many of these take just minutes to prep in the morning! 👍 Here’s a few of our favorite slow cooker chicken recipes: Slow cooker balsamic chicken Slow cooker bistro chicken thighs Slow cooker apricot chicken Crock pot Mediterranean chicken Slow cooker teriyaki chicken And be sure to check…
    • Easy Vegetarian RecipesEasy vegetarian recipes include main-dish meals that are hearty and satisfying and can stand alone for lunch or dinner (with a few savory breakfast options as well). Everything from one-pot veggie pastas to stuffed squash to chili to veggie burgers and hearty grain bowls and salads, there are meatless options here for everyone! I am a veggie lover through and through. 💚💚💚 I adore getting in as many vegetables as I can, throughout the day really, and I often make easy vegetarian dinners a couple of times a week. (Hello meatless Monday, I’m looking at you!) So over the years, I’ve created tons of great veggie-based meals that can stand on their own for lunch or dinner and be hearty and satisfying. And that are also mostly quick and easy, because I work as a health and nutrition editor and we’ve got a busy family so cooking on a weeknight needs to be low-key. My one-pot vegetarian spaghetti has been a hugely popular recipe here on the blog and you guys can’t seem to get enough of my grain bowls and salads. I know the feeling. 😉 I wanted to round up some of these in an easy-to-browse category that features…
    • Healthy Oatmeal RecipesA collection of healthy oatmeal recipes, including sweet and savory breakfast and brunch options as well as delicious, wholesome snacks and desserts. We are pretty much oatmeal fanatics in my house. ALL of us adore oatmeal and it’s a rare day that we’re not making or eating something with oats or oatmeal in it at some point during the day. And I mean all four of us – my husband, myself and our kids (currently ages 6 and 4). Our go-to 3-minute microwave oatmeal is a morning staple for my husband and a weekly staple for the kids and me. My kids eat overnight oatmeal jars at least twice a week for breakfast and we often have baked oatmeal another morning of the week. For school lunches or afternoon snack, we can be found munching on some no-bake cookie or energy balls with oats, oatmeal cookies of some variety or if they’ve asked nicely, I’ll make a batch of granola and we all just shovel handful after handful until it’s gone. Want to know some of our very favorites of the group below? OK, I’ll share! Our family’s favorite healthy oatmeal recipes: Healthy chocolate chip muffins Overnight oatmeal jars, 3…
    • Healthy Muffin RecipesA collection of easy, kid-friendly healthy muffin recipes for all times of day: breakfast, school lunch, snacking, dinner and dessert! We are BIG muffin lovers in this house, at all times of day! My kiddos love them for breakfast, brunch, school lunch, afternoon snack and sometimes even savory muffins at dinner.

Spinach banana mini muffins and whole wheat pumpkin muffins are some of our constant favorites. Healthy peanut butter and jelly muffins are fun for lunch and easy cheesy cornbread muffins are great for a quick + easy dinner side, especially with soup or chili! And if you’re in the mood for a little chocolate (I know I always am!) you can’t go wrong with my healthy chocolate chip muffins. Hope you find some new favorite healthy muffin recipes! XO, Kathryn
    • Healthy DessertsThis collection of healthy desserts features everything from lightened up cookie bars and brownies to cakes, muffins and breads to no-bake energy bites. It’s the perfect way to satisfy your sweet tooth while staying on track with healthy choices! Healthy desserts are kind-of my jam. I like a dessert that gives back. One that has redeeming qualities. A sweet treat that’s going to treat me right. But of course, it also needs to be delicious so I actually satisfy those sweet cravings! The healthier dessert recipes you’ll find below are some of our go-to treats that are perfect for a healthier late-night option and many of which are great for offering kids a wholesome, but fun, treat for an after-school snack or tucked in their lunch box. Most of these recipes are whole grain and naturally sweetened, others are recipe makeovers that are lower in sugar and/or butter. A majority of them contain chocolate. 🍫❤️ And ALL are easy to make.

These fall recipes are whole grain and most are naturally sweetened for a wholesome, delicious treat at breakfast, snack, school lunch or dessert! Does anyone else get the baking bug when the cooler weather starts to roll in during autumn? I know I do! I get excited for all the apple baking projects, pumpkin baking projects and even getting ready for all the holiday baking to come! 🍎🎃 The spices, the warmth, the aroma of having something in the oven is just part of the season for me. Plus the love that comes from a homemade baked good – it just can’t be beat! ❤️ And y’all know my style is definitely a healthier version of baking. I use whole grains and most of my recipes are naturally sweetened. I try to lighten things up where possible and keep to mostly wholesome treats, maybe with a little indulgence here and there! 😉 Wondering where to start?

Happy almost Friday my friends!

I’m somewhat back in the groove after our Costa Rica trip and if you follow me on Instagram and see my stories, you know I’m eating ALL the veggies and healthy foods all day long.

I’ve had HUGE plates of just veggies for dinner the last 3 nights and I’m not slowing down. #drankallthepinacoladas #ateallthelocalfood #resetwasneeded

And today I’m channeling my love of eating loads of veggies at lunch!

Most days, lunch is a really rushed affair.

Between my day job as a health and nutrition editor, picking up my son at preschool by 1 p.m. and trying to make and photograph recipes for this here blog while I’ve got decent natural light, things can get a little crazy.

And lunch can get pushed until 3:00, before I rush off to pick up my daughter from school.

Sheet pan of roasted veggies including zucchini, mushrooms, red bell pepper and red onions

As a result, most days I’m grabbing for leftovers or turning to a go-to lunch like a veggie burger and carrots. Lots of carrots. With extra carrots on the side. 🥕🥕🥕🥕🥕 #toomanycarrots #myhandsareorange

Once in a while though, I’ve got a little extra time — or I think ahead enough to prep ahead — and I can make something special.

Like this roasted veggie wrap with pesto and goat cheese. ❤️

We are talking layers and layers of veggie goodness. A base of creamy soft goat cheese, spiked with some bold fresh pesto and then covered in ALL the veggies.

Whole wheat wrap with goat cheese and pesto Whole wheat wrap with goat cheese, pesto and spinach

Roasted veggies, fresh veggies. Colorful veggies, crunchy veggies. Veggies upon veggies upon veggies.

Please excuse my drool…

But really, if you are a veggie freak like me, you need this wrap in your life. And you can prep it ahead and take it with you if you are on the go or in an office. 👍

Notes on making a roasted veggie wrap:

  • The veggies below are my basic go-to choices, but you can certainly switch this up and use your favorites. Just be sure to slice or chop them to about the same time so they all roast in the oven in the same amount of time.
  • If you are prepping this ahead, I’d suggest cooling the zucchini slices on paper towels. They are very watery and you don’t want everything getting soggy.
  • I love the goat cheese and spinach combo for my spreads, but you could substitute your favorite sandwich spreads – mustard, mayonnaise, etc. – and use your favorite cheese. Feta cheese would be great here, too.
  • To make this super veggie-stuffed, I like adding some fresh veggies. Spinach is a must on the base for me but I also love this with cherry tomatoes and shredded carrots. Because carrots. Broccoli slaw or bean sprouts would be great too. A little crunch goes a long way!
  • The recipe below makes 2-3 wraps, depending on the size of wrap you choose and how full you stuff it.

And either a store-bought or a homemade basil pesto are great for this, whatever you have.

As for serving this, I always eat it warm when I first make it. Irresistible!

However, I’ve also eaten this as a cold wrap with the leftovers and that was yummy.

You can also make the entire wrap and then microwave it for 30-45 seconds to warm it up if you are prepping these ahead for a healthy lunch.

Or if you roasted the veggies ahead, you can warm up just the veggies in the microwave (or a toaster oven) if you want those warm before you assemble your wrap.

I’ve also wanted to try warming up an extra or leftover wrap in a pan by searing it on both sides to get a slight crust on the exterior. Doesn’t that seem like a good idea?!

If you need a new healthy, delicious and super satisfying lunch, I hope you give this roasted veggie sandwich wrap a try! It always hits the spot for me!

Have a wonderful weekend!

XO,

Kathryn

This roasted veggie wrap with pesto and goat cheese is the ultimate in lunchtime satisfaction!

Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 20 minutes
Total Time 30 minutes

Ingredients

For the roasted veggies:

  • 1 medium zucchini, sliced lengthwise into long strips about 1/4-inch wide
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced in 1/4-inch pieces
  • 5-6 large button mushrooms, sliced into 1/2-inch slices
  • 1/2 medium red onion, cut into 1/4-inch slices
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

For the wraps:

  • 2-3 (8- or 10-inch) whole wheat wraps (see notes)
  • 1/4 cup goat cheese
  • 1/4 cup pesto, homemade or store-bought
  • 2 small handfuls of baby spinach

Optional extra veggies:

  • Halved cherry tomatoes (or sliced tomato), shredded carrots, broccoli slaw, bean sprouts, etc.

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400.
  2. Lay all of your sliced veggies out on a baking pan and season with olive oil, salt and pepper.
  3. Roast at 400 for 20 minutes, or until slightly browned and tender.
  4. In the meantime, prepare the wraps. Spread 2 tablespoons of goat cheese on each whole wheat wrap and top with 2 tablespoons pesto.
  5. Place a layer of spinach on each wrap and then top with the roasted veggies. Add any additional fresh veggies, roll up and enjoy!

Notes

The recipe makes 2-3 wraps, depending on the size of wrap you choose and how full you stuff it.

You can switch up the veggies and use your favorites. Just be sure to slice or chop them to about the same time so they all roast in the oven in the same amount of time.

If you are prepping this ahead, I’d suggest cooling the zucchini slices on paper towels. They are very watery and you don’t want everything getting soggy.

I’ve eaten this as a cold wrap with the leftovers and that was yummy. You can also make the entire wrap ahead of time and then microwave it for 30-45 seconds to warm it up. Or just roast the veggies ahead of time and warm them up in the microwave (or a toaster oven) and then assemble your wrap.
