Chicken Recipes & Ideas

When you think of Louisville, what do you think of?

The offerings run the gamut from budget to budget-buster.

If chicken tikka masala is your go-to Indian restaurant order but you’ve never tried making it at home, here’s your invitation.

Wondering what to do with the chicken thighs you bought this week? Let your slow cooker transform them into the juiciest, nuttiest taco filling with just two extra ingredients. When it’s done, fold the slow-cooked chicken into a tortilla with crunchy-sweet honey-roasted peanuts and a few sliced scallions for an impossibly easy weeknight dinner.

From Italian antipasto skewers to steakhouse-style kebabs.

Feast your eyes on the impossibly easy three-ingredient dinner that my kids asked for seconds of the last time I served it. While some might say that it’s totally unnecessary to share a “recipe” for oven-baked frozen nuggets and bagged broccoli, I say that if it inspires you to cook at home instead of grabbing takeout, that’s a win in my book. This sheet pan recipe is, after all, the idea that launched our Miracle Meal series.

Just trust me on this one.

This is the quick weeknight meal that takes everything you love about Buffalo wings, from the fiery sauce to the creamy blue cheese to the crunchy celery, and stuffs it into a warm baked potato.

There are options aplenty, so choose what works best for you.
