    • 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.

      • 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…

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 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.

Sautéed spinach and leeks

Sautéed spinach and leeks is a quick + easy, healthy side dish with simple ingredients and delicious flavor!Sautéed spinach and leeks is a quick + easy, healthy side dish with simple ingredients and delicious flavor! #spinach #leeks #sidedishes #veggierecipes

It’s been an emotional week here.

The kiddos are wrapping up their school years… J has his last day of 3-year-old preschool today, M’s last day of kindergarten is tomorrow, and I’m just amazed by how much they’ve grown this year. My babies aren’t such babies anymore!

And while it’s bittersweet to see them move on from those early stages, these are happy days and it’s been a fun week of parties. ❤️

On the flipside…

My cousin passed away last weekend and we had her funeral service yesterday.

She was a bit older than me and someone I’ve looked up to all my life. (Literally, in fact – she was super tall and oh so glamorous!)

In my mind, she was bigger than life. She was so funny, so smart, so stylish, so beautiful. And far, far too young.

Needless to say, I’ve been moving in and out of tears and sadness at a moment’s notice. It’s a reminder that life is precious, life is short and life is not guaranteed.

She will be dearly missed. And yet loved and remembered by so, so many. It was a huge crowd at the service and so uplifting to see so much of our family and her friends come to honor her.

For me, I also hope to honor her by living my life more fully, and as beautifully, honestly, confidently and openly as she always did. A good goal, right?

Now, as always, let’s dive into the food. And these gorgeous babies:

Sliced leeks being cleaned and soaked in a bowl of water

It’s been a long time since I told myself I’d start eating more leeks. Like, on a weekly basis. (I talk about this in my salmon and leeks recipe post too.)

Cause leeks are really that good for you.

Or, actually, they are that good for the bacteria that live in your gut.

Now, that may sound weird but trust me, it’s a thing and it’s going to be something you’ll hear lots more about in coming years.

See, I’m a health and nutrition editor so I read and hear about new research day in and day out.

The gut microbiome — which means all the bacteria, good and bad, that live in your digestive tract — have been found to have ties to all kinds of other aspects of our health. Not just digestive stuff, it’s even been linked to mental health.

I took a whole course on the gut microbiome. Not in college, not for my job, just on my own a couple of years ago. Cause I find it fascinating.

And cause I’m a nerd like that! 🤓

Sliced leeks cooking in a pan

Anyway, leeks are great fuel for those good bacteria in your gut and I for sure want to keep mine happy.

But you know, life gets in the way and I haven’t been eating leeks on the regular like I wanted. So recently I tried to get back in the habit and find some quick + easy ways to incorporate leeks. Hence, this recipe.

Quick + easy sautéed spinach and leeks

This simple side dish is now a go to for us.

We like sautéed spinach on its own, and it’s one of our go-to veggie side dishes. (Check out these ways to use fresh spinach – it’s such a versatile veggie.)

But I thought, what if I could just add in a sliced leek and have that be one easy way to sneak more leeks into our diets.

And sure enough, both my husband and I really liked it! (I haven’t tried this on the little ones. Yet…)

Sautéed spinach and leeks is a quick + easy, healthy side dish with simple ingredients and delicious flavor! | www.familyfoodonthetable.com

The leeks get just barely tender and soft and they melt right in with the silky spinach. The garlic adds a little background flavor and the Parmesan, which is completely optional, gives it a nice, rich finish. 👌

Plus, this recipe is just 3 ingredients! 🙌

Oh, and if you are new to leeks, here’s a couple tips on cleaning them.

How to clean and prepare leeks:

– Leeks are grown in sandy soil, so they need a good cleaning before they are ready to use in a recipe.

– First, rinse the entire leek. Then cut off the dark green leaf end and trim the root end, leaving just the white and green stalk area to work with.

– Thinly slice the stalk into rings.

– Place the sliced leek rings into a large bowl of cold water. Toss them around in the water to remove any sand, dirt and grit from the inner layers. Let them sit for at least 2-3 minutes.

– Gently lift the leeks from the bowl of water and place in a colander. This way you leave behind the dirty water and any grit that’s fallen to the bottom of the bowl.

Now they are ready to use!

If you haven’t used leeks yet, I hope you’ll give this sautéed spinach and leeks recipe a try. And maybe join me in my goal to make leeks a regular staple. Let’s keep those good gut bacteria happy and thriving!

(Speaking of, if you have a favorite way to use leeks, please leave me a comment below – I’m always up for new ideas!)

Wishing you lots of love and a wonderful weekend!

XO,

Kathryn

    First of all – so sorry to hear about the passing of your cousin. She sounds like she was a beautiful person, inside and out. Unfortunately, its only moments like these that we realize how short life is and how we should live each day to the fullest and not dwell on unimportant things. Hugs to you, my friend.
    About this recipe…I love leeks! I didn’t realize how good they were for you so I’m going to have to up my intake for sure! I tried growing them in the garden the other year and it didn’t work out so well for me for some reason so to the grocery store it is. I would definitely have to use parm here because CHEESE 🙂 Pinning! I usually like mine sautéed with pasta, but I’m pretty sure I would like ’em any way!
    Try to have a nice weekend and my thoughts are with ya! XOXO

    Oh my gosh, I’m so sorry! My deepest, sincerest condolences for the loss of your cousin. My prayers go out to you and your family, Kathryn! It sounds like she was an amazing woman, inside and out, and the world will be a lesser place without her in it. But know she is up there in heaven and smiling down upon you. <3 Life is entirely too short and it's a painful reminder whenever someone is taken from us much too soon. I'm sending you all the love and hugs, dear friend!!!
    Hard to transition, but this dish looks absolutely delicious! I adore a big 'ole beautiful plate of green deliciousness, so you know I'd gobble this up in about 3 seconds flat. Pinned!
    I'll be thinking about you, my dear. Take care of you and your family. XOXO

    We were looking for something different to serve as a side for our dinner party last night and came across your recipe on pinterest. It was so simple and delicious! We will definitely be making this again.
