Thai-Style Chicken Curry with Basil and Jasmine Rice

View Recipe this link opens in a new tab

Because it calls for a full cup of fresh basil, this is a great dish to make in early fall, when the plants in your garden are huge and you're looking for ways to use them. This dish starts on the stove top but finishes out of the way in the oven, leaving just enough time to make rice for sopping up the creamy sauce.Ā

Wild Rice and Chicken Soup

Chicken, Tomato and Spinach Mac and Cheese

View Recipe this link opens in a new tab

We gave homey mac and cheese a refresh. The saucepan sauce is made without a flour thickener, so it's lighter-tasting than baked versions. And adding veggies and chicken makes it a well-rounded meal.
