Chicken Tortilla Soup
This Chicken Tortilla Soup is from The New York Times. This is a nontraditional method. There are many variations of tortilla soup. This one is made in a slow-cooker, but I have also included the stovetop version. The soup gets its depth of flavor from roasting the tomatoes, onions, jalapeños, and garlic until they become charred. It's then put in a slow-cooker with the chicken for about 5 hours. To me the toppings are key. I like adding fried tortilla strips, avocado, cheese, cilantro, etc. I also have another version on this blog here.

Spatchcock Chicken with Miso and Sesame Seeds
Spatchcock Chicken with Miso and Sesame Seeds is butterflied and roasted, so it cooks evenly. The miso glaze adds a rich, buttery flavor and it's finished with sesame seeds, which adds a nutty crunch. You could also just cut up the chicken instead of spatchcocking it to make it easier.

Jalapeño Popper Chicken Chili
This Jalapeño Popper Chicken Chili is made with ground chicken, jalapeño peppers, corn, black beans, cream cheese, and a variety of spices. The chili can be cooked in either a pressure cooker or a slow cooker; I have given instructions for both.
The chili gets its heat from the jalapeño peppers, but you can adjust the spiciness to your liking by removing the seeds from the peppers or by adding more or fewer peppers. The cream cheese adds a richness and creaminess to the chili, and the spices give it a depth of flavor.
The chili can be served with a variety of toppings, such as shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream, chopped bacon, and additional jalapeños. It is also great for meal prep, as it can be made ahead of time and stored in the fridge or freezer.

Mexican Chicken Zucchini Noodles
I am on the east coast at my brother David's house. He made these Mexican Chicken Zucchini Noodles, which is healthy, delicious, low in calories and fat, and high in fiber. This dish is made with zucchini noodles, which are made by spiralizing zucchini into long, thin strips that resemble pasta. The zucchini noodles are then cooked in a skillet with chicken, cumin, and pico de gallo. It's a healthier alternative to traditional pasta dishes. Oh, and it's gluten-free.
