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.
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.
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.
