Creamy Cajun Chicken Pasta

If you want a weeknight dinner that feels like restaurant food but takes less than 30 minutes, this Cajun chicken pasta is perfect. The sauce is rich and creamy, with a mild kick that keeps you coming back for more. Ingredients: 2 chicken breasts (sliced), 1 tbsp Cajun seasoning, 2 cups heavy cream, 1 cup grated Parmesan, 3 cloves garlic (minced), 8 oz fettuccine, 1 tbsp butter, salt, pepper. How to make: Cook the pasta according to package instructions. Drain and set aside. Season the sliced chicken with Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper. Heat a skillet with butter, then sear the chicken on medium-high heat until golden and fully cooked. Remove the chicken and set aside. In the same pan, add garlic and sauté for 30 seconds. Pour in heavy cream, stirring until it starts to thicken. Add Parmesan and stir until smooth. Toss the pasta into the sauce, coating every strand. Add the chicken back on top. Serve warm with extra Parmesan and fresh cracked black pepper. #FoodTok #EasyDinner #HomeCooking

Crispy Oven-Baked Chicken Tenders

These chicken tenders are a huge hit in American homes, especially because they’re baked, not fried, but still incredibly crispy. They’re perfect for kids, adults, or anyone craving comfort food without the mess. Preheat your oven and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Start by cutting chicken breasts into even strips. In one bowl, mix breadcrumbs with grated parmesan, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. In another bowl, whisk eggs with a splash of milk. Dip each chicken strip into the egg mixture, letting the excess drip off, then press it firmly into the breadcrumb mixture so every side is coated. Lay them on the baking sheet and lightly spray or brush the tops with oil—this helps them brown beautifully. Bake until golden and cooked through, flipping once halfway. They come out crunchy on the outside and juicy inside. Serve them with ketchup, ranch, honey mustard, or buffalo sauce. These are great fresh out of the oven, but they also reheat surprisingly well. #Food #EasyDinner

Skillet Lemon Pepper Chicken Thighs

This is a very American way of cooking chicken: simple seasoning, strong flavor, and one pan to clean. Lemon pepper is classic, bold, and never boring. Pat chicken thighs dry and season generously with salt, lemon pepper seasoning, and a touch of garlic powder. Heat oil in a skillet and place the chicken skin-side down. Let it cook undisturbed until the skin becomes deeply golden and crispy. Flip the chicken and add butter, sliced lemon, and a splash of chicken broth. Lower the heat and let everything simmer until the meat is tender and juicy. The butter and lemon melt together into a light sauce that coats the chicken without overpowering it. Serve this with rice, roasted potatoes, or green beans. It’s simple food, but it feels intentional and satisfying. #Food #EasyDinner
