My Favorite Chicken Marinade

July 17, 2026 / Jenny / 0 Comments

I love to try new recipes, but there are certain ones I keep coming back to time and time again. This chicken marinade recipe finds a beautiful balance between savory, sweet, and citrus. The combination of ingredients not only infuses the outer layer of the chicken with delicious flavor, but it also helps tenderize the meat and allows it to retain more of its natural juices.

With just a few key components, you can add that extra tang and zing to your chicken. Staples like freshly squeezed lemon juice, balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, extra-virgin olive oil, brown sugar, and a few other seasonings all come together to create a deeply flavorful end result.

Lemon Chicken Asparagus Pasta

June 25, 2026 / Jenny / 2 Comments

Lemon chicken asparagus pasta is a great weeknight meal that combines the vibrancy of asparagus and fresh lemon juice with the comforting flavors of chicken and pasta, all surrounded with a lush, velvety sauce. It is one of those dinners that I turn to when I am short on time, yet want something wholesome, nourishing, and comforting.

This easy meal takes only about 30 minutes from your kitchen to your table and it checks lots of important boxes. Protein? Check. Flavorful, nutritious vegetable cooked till it’s just tender and not mushy? Check. Deliciously light, creamy, lemon garlic sauce? Check. Tastes great as leftovers? Check.

Chicken and Gnocchi One-Pan Dinner

Flavor, texture, and comfort all combine to make this meal a definite keeper. Tender chicken, pillowy gnocchi, tangy sun-dried tomatoes, and spinach are all gently cooked in a luscious, golden sauce made of cream, chicken broth, garlic, and Parmesan cheese. What could be better on a cold winter evening?

The Chicken and Gnocchi One-Pan Dinner recipe I am sharing today has become a favorite in my household. It is one of those classic meals that tastes like it was more difficult to make than it actually was. And it all comes together in one skillet, which is an added bonus.
