The flavor of bright lemon mixed with the tangy sweet kick of cranberries make this meal a win. With minimal prep and mess, this dinner is ready from fridge to table in just 50 minutes. This dish looks beautiful when served in the same pan, but you can also toss all the cranberries into a bowl or blender to make a side sauce. Squeeze the lemon into the cranberries, add a touch of sweetness with sugar or honey and in just a few minutes have yourself a cranberry dipping sauce for both the chicken and Brussels sprouts. Feel free to get fun with the veggies, too! Add any other greens or root veggies your family loves — especially if you are serving any picky eaters.

Can you say Thanksgiving worthy, or what?! This dish is perfect for special occasions, parties or even holiday dinners. But you’ll probably want to make it more often than that!

The flavors of this dish are divine; the classic, crispy chicken stays perfectly moist and the stuffing is unlike anything you’ve tried before. Make sure to add bits of color, like fresh parsley, whole cranberries or even sprigs of sage, when you plate.

This chicken dish is surprisingly light and refreshing, with a kick of heat and a pop of color thanks to the zesty Argentinean-style sauce.

Double or triple the recipe so you have plenty of leftovers or if you’re serving a large crowd. FYI: Leftover drumstick meat and spicy chimichurri put a unique spin on your everyday chili recipe.

With all the classic flavors of a beef bourguignon, this paleo beef stew cooks slowly in a crock-pot, which means melt-in-your-mouth beef chunks. Serve up with a hearty loaf of your favorite French bread and a glass of red wine from the same bottle you used in the stew.
