If only they would bring their own bowls…” - Linda
Chicken Bacon Ranch Pizza
“We loved Elizabeth's take on making this pizza at home. Not only is it yummy, it makes 2 hearty pizzas for a fraction of the cost of ordering out. The chicken really has a punch of flavor. It soaks up the flavor from the ranch seasoning, onions, and sun-dried tomatoes. Adding bacon is sort of equivalent to a cherry on top. So many layers of yummy goodness in this pizza!” - Kitchen Crew

Muna's green chili sauce is so simple to make and amazing on top of the baked chimichanga. Simply delicious!” - Kitchen Crew

This recipe never goes uneaten in my house and I have decided for sure, I will NEVER do dumplings any other way. LOVE this one!” - Lisa

This roasted chicken is an easy weeknight dinner recipe but fancy enough for a dinner party too. It's full-flavored and has a beautiful presentation.” - Kitchen Crew

Crock Pot Chicken Fajitas
“This fajita recipe is such a time saver. Put all the ingredients in a slow cooker, turn it on, and forget about it. The chicken turns out tender and easy to shred. Once shredded, it goes back into the Crock Pot to mingle with the sauce. Spooned onto the tortillas, it makes really flavorful fajitas. These will be great if you're serving a crowd. Set up a fajita bar with the chicken and toppings and let everyone create their own.” - Kitchen Crew
