Join me in a moment of silent appreciation for these crispy oven baked chicken tenders + sticky/spicy/sweet/savory glaze, please and thank you. *** Moment of silence over. Hello!

The Trick to THE Juiciest Chicken Breasts
Chicken breasts are so blah. I am just not a huge fan...they almost always turn out dry and boring. I don't mind using chicken in things, but I almost never ever just sear up a chicken breast for dinner. So this recipe didn't come about from me experimenting - the creds for these babies go to my husband, Seth. We got hungry SUPER late at night this past weekend (because we had had popcorn a few ...
Baked Chili Lime Chicken Breasts
Cooking is hard when life is crazy. I've been told that no one truly understands what "busy" really means until they have kids, and maybe one day I'll agree with that when I have multiple kids, but I still feel like life can get pretty crazy right now.

I have baked whole chickens before, but never just chicken breasts. ...

Baked Garlic Parmesan Chicken Strips
Okay, I love these. ???. LOVE. I worked at a sports bar in college, and we served garlic parmesan chicken wings, aaaand they were basically the best things ever. A few months ago, Seth and I went out to eat, and guess what I saw on the menu?? Garlic Parmesan chicken strips. They were just as delicious if not more delicious than the wings from college. So I was determined to recreate this ...
