Damn Delicious
Monday: Honey Mustard Chicken Salad
Start off your week with a healthy, vibrant salad. Overflowing with strawberries, avocado and chicken, the recipe is a breeze to whip up because the dressing doubles as chicken marinade. You probably won’t be able to find fresh corn at this time of year, so seek out frozen or canned.
Half Baked Harvest
Tuesday: Sheet-pan Cuban Chicken With Citrus Avocado Salsa
The chicken is seasoned with fresh orange and lime juice, plenty of garlic, oregano and cumin. If you have extra time, marinate the chicken for a couple of hours before roasting to intensify the flavor and make the chicken extra tender.
Pinch of Yum
Wednesday: Roasted Veggie Pitas With Avocado Dip
It doesn’t get any better than spicy roasted cauliflower and chickpeas smothered in creamy avocado, right?
The Pig and Quill
Thursday: Crispy Pan-roasted Chicken Breasts With Lemon-scallion Drippings
This dish is elegant enough for company, but simple enough for any night of the week. Start the bird on the stove, finish cooking it in the oven and serve it with lemony shallot pan sauce and beluga lentils.
Spoon Fork Bacon
Friday: Burrata Topped English Pea, Basil And Pistachio Pesto With Linguine
Plain old pesto? Snooze-fest. This fresh take combines Parmesan, basil, pistachio and fresh peas. Spoon it liberally over pasta and finish with creamy burrata.

Saturday: Wild Rice Bowl With Ramps, Asparagus And Snap Peas
Save this recipe for the weekend when you have time to stop by the farmers market (or the “good” grocery store near you). Vibrant spring produce totally makes this simple dish.

Dinner at the Zoo
Sunday: Mongolian Chicken
Mongolian chicken > Mongolian beef. Why? The chicken is so tender it practically falls apart, while its skin is crispy on the outside thanks to a light coating of cornstarch.
