The ultimate comfort food just got an upgrade, and it’s perfect for your Thanksgiving table or a cozy weeknight dinner. Say hello to cranberry brie stuffed chicken – an easy, flavorful way to turn simple ingredients into something truly special.

Growing up, Thanksgiving dinner was always a big deal in my family. But as life got busier, we started experimenting with ways to keep those bold holiday flavors alive without spending hours in the kitchen. This cranberry brie chicken recipe brings all of that festive coziness to the table in less time, with fewer dishes, and I can’t wait to share it with you.

- 4 boneless chicken breasts
- ½ cup cranberry sauce (store-bought or homemade)
- 4 oz brie cheese, sliced
- 1 cup stuffing mix, prepared
- Salt, pepper, and a little olive oil

1. Carefully cut a pocket into each chicken breast (don’t cut all the way through). Fill each one with cranberry sauce, a slice of brie cheese, and a spoonful of prepared stuffing.
2. Secure with toothpicks and season with salt and pepper.
3. Heat a bit of olive oil in an oven-safe skillet, sear the chicken on both sides until golden, then transfer it to a 375°F oven for 20–25 minutes, until fully cooked.
4. Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing to keep all that delicious filling intact.

This dish is guaranteed to impress your family without the stress. If you’re missing the full Thanksgiving spread this year, cranberry brie stuffed chicken might just be your new favorite tradition.

Creamy, comforting, and perfect for busy nights – this one-pot creamy Rotel pasta with ground beef will be your new family favorite.

Growing up, my mom always knew how to stretch a meal to feed a hungry family of five without sacrificing flavor. Her go-to recipes like this one were warm, hearty, and filled with ingredients she always had on hand. Now as a parent, I find myself reaching for dishes like this too – quick, filling, and guaranteed to make everyone at the table ask for seconds.

You'll need:
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 can Rotel tomatoes (original or mild)
- 8 oz cream cheese
- 2 cups uncooked pasta (penne or shells work great)
- 1 cup shredded cheese (optional for topping)
- 2 cups chicken or beef broth

Here’s how to make it:
1. Brown the ground beef in a large skillet or pot, then drain excess fat.
2. Stir in the Rotel tomatoes, broth, and uncooked pasta. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer covered for 10–12 minutes until pasta is tender.
3. Add the cream cheese and stir until melted and creamy. Top with shredded cheese if desired and let it melt before serving.

It’s creamy, flavorful, and ready in about 30 minutes – the kind of dinner idea with ground beef that every busy parent needs!

It’s hearty, simple, and perfect for busy evenings when everyone’s hungry and you need dinner ready fast.

3. Sprinkle the shredded cheese on top, cover the skillet, and cook for another 2-3 minutes, just until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

The perfect comfort food for game night or a cozy family dinner: crispy, golden baked chicken wings straight from the oven.

Growing up, Sunday evenings were all about family dinners, and one of the highlights was my mom’s chicken wings. She’d bake them until perfectly crispy, and we’d fight over the last piece every time. Now, I’ve passed this tradition on to my family, and these wings always bring everyone to the table, no matter how busy life gets.

All you need are simple ingredients to make the crispiest wings ever — no fryer required:
- 2 lbs chicken wings
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste

1. Preheat your oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with foil. Place a wire rack on top for even crisping.
2. In a large bowl, toss the chicken wings with baking powder and seasoning. The baking powder is the secret to that extra crispy texture!
3. Arrange the wings in a single layer on the rack. Bake for 40-45 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they’re crispy and golden.
4. Serve as is or toss in your family’s favorite sauce. Ranch or blue cheese on the side? Yes, please!

What’s your go-to dipping sauce for wings? I’m always looking to try something new! Let’s swap recipes!

Is there anything better than a comforting, home-cooked meal that practically makes itself? This Crockpot Honey Garlic Chicken has become a family favorite in our house, especially on busy weeknights!

Growing up, my mom had a knack for turning simple ingredients into meals that brought everyone to the table. Now that I have a family of my own, I find myself leaning on those same recipes, but with a modern twist – like this easy crockpot meal. It’s sweet, savory, and so simple that even the busiest days end with a dinner everyone can’t stop talking about.

Here’s what you need:
- 4–6 chicken thighs (bone-in or boneless, skin removed for a lighter option)
- 1/3 cup honey
- 1/3 cup soy sauce
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/4 cup ketchup (for that tangy kick)
- 1–2 tablespoons rice vinegar or apple cider vinegar
- Optional: chopped veggies like carrots, broccoli, or snap peas

Steps to make it:
1. Place the chicken thighs in your slow cooker, then whisk the honey, soy sauce, garlic, ketchup, and vinegar in a small bowl to create that irresistible sauce.
2. Pour the sauce over the chicken and toss in any veggies if you’re adding them.
3. Cook on low for 6–7 hours or high for 3–4 hours, letting the slow cooker work its magic while you take care of your to-do list.
4. Before serving, thicken the sauce with a quick cornstarch slurry if needed, or simply spoon it over your chicken as-is.

Pair it with rice or noodles, and dinner is done!

2. Cover and cook on low for 4–5 hours or high for 2–3 hours, until the chicken is tender and cooked through.
3. For a sticky Honey Chicken Sauce, remove the chicken, whisk cornstarch with water, and stir it into the sauce. Let it thicken for about 5 minutes in the slow cooker.

3. Rub the chicken lightly with olive oil, then coat well in the breadcrumb mixture. Arrange in the baking dish.
4. Bake for 25–30 minutes until golden and cooked through. Pair with a simple salad, rice, or a low-carb veggie side for a wholesome dinner.
