When spring is inconsistent in its warm sunny days, this creamy chicken soup with spinach and artichokes, together with some homemade bread, make a perfect light supper.

Indian Chicken Fried Rice
An Indian rice dish that is completely adaptable to any protein and vegetable combination you have on hand. Made here with chicken, zucchini, snap peas, red pepper, carrots, and onion.
This is similar in flavor to a biryani, but a simpler preparation, and packed with more vegetables.
For a low carb version, use cauliflower rice instead of basmati rice.

Grilled Nashville Hot Chicken
Grilled dry rub chicken, then glazed with a spicy hot sauce. I paired this grilled chicken with a sweet Peach Caprese Salad, which offered a nice contrast to the spicy chicken.
If you are making sandwiches with the hot chicken, top with sliced dill pickles, if desired

Pizza Stuffed Chicken
All of the delicious flavors of pizza, without all of the bread. This makes a fun alternative to traditional pizza, even for the one child who doesn’t let me fill hers with sausage, pepperoni, or mozzarella cheese. But then- she also doesn’t eat pizza, so at least she likes a basic version of this meal.
To make these chicken rolls, it is important to pound the chicken breast thin between layers of plastic wrap. If you are starting with a large breast, you can either cut it completely in half into two thinner pieces before pounding, or you can butterfly the breast first before pounding.
I like to fill them with pepperoni, cooked sausage, and just a little bit of sauce and cheese. Here are a few process pictures (ignore the skinny little roll on the end without any of the delicious meat inside).

Chicken Tikka Masala
After a week spent outside in the beautiful sunshine and warm weather (in mid-February!), the temperature has taken a nose dive this weekend. That makes this a perfect time to make a hearty curry for (maybe?) this last venture into winter.
Chicken Tikka Masala is a spice-filled, tomato-based Indian curry full of delicious tender chicken.
I use a Tandoori spice blend from Spiceology to marinate the chicken before roasting it and adding it to the curry base. You could also use a prepared tandoori paste, or a mixture of garam masala, turmeric, coriander, and Kashmiri chili powder.
Serve over rice with naan bread, if desired. Recipe for homemade Naan Bread:

Basil Coconut Curry Chicken
Chicken breasts cooked in a coconut milk yellow curry and seasoned with dried and fresh basil.
I left the chicken in serving-sized pieces and served over brown rice and roasted asparagus. Without the rice, the meal is a perfect low-carb main dish.
You could also cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces and stir-fry with other vegetables (any selection of: asparagus, zucchini, red peppers, green beans, pea pods, carrots, mushrooms) and serve the dish in a bowl as a curry/soup.
