Parmesan Crusted Chicken

If you’re looking for a new and crowd pleasing chicken dinner then I’ve got you covered today. The key to this parmesan crusted chicken is two fold. First, don’t overcook the chicken. We use a Habor thermometer that is very similar to this one linked here. Second, the chicken breasts should be thin. Is that really necessary? Well, no. This recipe will work with normal size chicken breasts, but then you won’t get that perfect ratio of tender chicken to crispy coating. So if you want what you see here then you will need a tenderizer or kitchen mallet to pound …

Simple Chickpea Salad

Simple is the name of the game today. Speaking of games, I’m excited for the big football game this Sunday. I’m not rooting for a particular team this year but I love the fun food that goes along with the celebration. Although, this year the game falls on the day before Valentine’s Day.

This salad is super simple and tasty. It’s a good …

Spicy Butter Chicken

Guys, this chicken is ridiculously delicious. If you know me or you have been following me here on Tina’s Chic Corner for a while, then you know that I’m not the biggest fan of chicken.

As part of this pattern I’ve also been enjoying a lot of “Buffalo” flavored things. Here enters this spicy chicken. I enjoyed it for lunch AND dinner… in the same day! …

Beef Stew

We’re due to get a big snow storm this weekend. Welcome to New England in the winter. In anticipation of the snow days, I’m laying in all the cozy supplies. Warm blankets, cozy sweatpants, candles, new books, wood for the fireplace, and ingredients to cook up some comfort food, like this beef stew. This stew is so easy to make and delicious. We don’t make a lot of stews so I’m always amazed how easy they are. They may take some time to cook but that’s no big deal, especially when you have nothing but time on a snow day. …

Buffalo Chickpea Salad

Guys, I’m obsessed with this salad. I have made buffalo cauliflower three times in the past 2 months. That’s hysterical since I originally said that I wouldn’t make it again because even though it’s delicious there are a lot of steps and it’s kind of a pain to make. Apparently, taste wins over convenience. With buffalo cauliflower on the brain lately, I couldn’t believe my eyes when I found this buffalo chickpea salad recipe. Why didn’t I think of that? I love chickpeas and I love the buffalo spices so this is a win win. You know, the buffalo spices …
