Wild Rice & Chicken Casserole
I used to make this Wild Rice & Chicken Casserole when we were first married for dinner parties. It was "cheap and cheerful" as we would say. It features cooked chicken, wild rice (personally, I prefer to use a wild rice blend when making this dish, which does make it cheaper!), mushrooms, pimentos, and a creamy sauce. It's then topped with slivered almonds and baked in the oven until bubbly and golden brown on top.

Judy Hesser’s Oven-Fried Chicken
This Oven-Fried Chicken is a recipe for delicious fried chicken made in the oven, skipping the mess and hassle of deep frying. The chicken is dredged in a seasoned flour mixture and baked in the oven. There's minimal flipping involved, making it a relatively hands-off approach. Despite using minimal butter, the chicken achieves a crispy, flavorful crust.

Chinese Lemon Chicken
Chinese Lemon Chicken is coated in a sweet, savory, and tangy lemon sauce. It's a delicious and refreshing and a nice alternative to the usual sweet and sour chicken. Making Chinese food at home allows you to control the ingredients and adjust the flavors to your taste. It's generally healthier and more economical than takeout.

Chicken Cordon Bleu
Contrary to popular belief, Chicken Cordon Bleu isn't French. It likely originated in Switzerland around the 1940s. The first documented recipe appeared in a Swiss cookbook in 1949. It is based on schnitzel, a thin, breaded cutlet, filled with cheese in this case. Most recipes roll the ham and cheese in the chicken. This recipe puts the ham, cheese and bread crumbs on top and it gets baked in the oven, which makes it way easier. It’s served with this Parmesan-Dijon Cream Sauce sauce, which makes this dish outstanding.

Lemon and Dill Risotto with Roast Chicken
My daughter Grace made us this fabulous Lemon and Dill Risotto with Roast Chicken. It's so easy and all done in one pan. If you are intimidated by risotto, just relax, the rice gets cooked under the chicken. All the juices from the chicken adds depth of flavor to the risotto. If you don't want to spatchcock your chicken, just use bone-in chicken pieces or thighs.

Creamy Lemon-Parmesan Chicken Casserole
This Creamy Lemon-Parmesan Chicken Casserole is delicious and kind of a more elegant version of what my family calls Nancy Drew Casserole (officially called Hannah Gruen's Chicken and Rice Casserole), which is basically shredded chicken, mushroom soup, uncooked rice and water. Anyway, back to this much more flavorful version, which uses shredded chicken (I used a rotisserie chicken), broccoli, and orzo, which is enveloped in a creamy lemony sauce and topped with toasted panko.

Million Dollar Chicken
Million Dollar Chicken is a dish inspired by Neiman Marcus Dip, a recipe created by chef Helen Corbit in the 1950s. She worked at the Zodiac Room, a restaurant in the Neiman Marcus department store in Dallas, Texas. The recipe was never officially released, but it is believed to have been a combination of cream cheese, mayonnaise, sharp cheddar cheese, bacon, green onions, and almonds. The name "Million Dollar Dip" is said to have come from the fact that the dip was so good, it tasted like it cost a million dollars.

‘Marry Me’ Chicken Pasta
Marry Me Chicken is a dish that gained popularity on TikTok in 2021. It's a creamy, flavorful chicken dish with sun-dried tomatoes, garlic, spinach and herbs.

I have to say, I would be tempted to marry myself! It's really delicious.
