Monday: Skillet White Chicken Lasagna
This Skillet White Chicken Lasagna will cure any case of the Mondays. Lemons for Lulu keeps it simple without skimping on any of the flavor — a rotisserie chicken cuts the prep time down to five minutes and the rich and creamy Greek yogurt sauce camouflages healthy veggies for even the pickiest of eaters.
Quick Tip: Be sure to keep your Greek yogurt for Wednesday’s recipe and go ahead and slice up extra mushrooms and onions, you’ll use them on Thursday!
Tuesday: Chipotle Lime Chicken Taco Bowl
Add a twist to Taco Tuesday and serve up this Chipotle Lime Taco Bowl from Spoonful of Flavor. Make the creamy mango sauce ahead and serve alongside the tender chipotle lime grilled chicken and other fresh flavors that will turn your weeknight into a DIY taco bowl fiesta!
Quick Tip: While you are already handling raw chicken, cut the chicken strips for Wednesday night’s meal. You can even get a head start by mixing up the yogurt sauce and letting it marinate overnight.
Wednesday: Honey Mustard Yogurt Chicken Skewers
Made with just four ingredients, you’ll spend more time eating Garnish with Lemon’s Honey Mustard Yogurt Skewers than you will prepping! The Honey Mustard Yogurt sauce even performs double-duty as a marinade and a dipping sauce — a convenience that will surely get you over the mid-week hump.
Quick Tip: When using leftover yogurt, be sure to stir in the liquid that may have settled on the top. The “water” is actually whey which contains essential nutrients like calcium and protein!
Thursday: Smoked Swiss and Mushroom Grilled Cheese
Is grilled cheese already a weeknight staple? Upgrade your classic go-to with NeighborFood’s Smoked Swiss and Mushroom grilled cheese. Caramelized mushrooms and onions topped with smoky Swiss cheese quickly take this weeknight favorite to the next level.
