One of last week’s most popular recipes was a creamy garlic chicken skillet—tender, juicy chicken breasts simmered in a velvety garlic cream sauce, ready in under 30 minutes. It’s a comfort-food favorite that pairs beautifully with pasta, rice, or crusty bread.
Another big hit was a fresh strawberry shortcake, layered with soft biscuits, sweetened whipped cream, and juicy berries. It’s light enough for spring and summer but indulgent enough to satisfy any dessert craving.
For a healthier option, people couldn’t get enough of the Mediterranean chickpea salad, loaded with cucumbers, tomatoes, feta, and a tangy lemon-olive oil dressing. It’s refreshing, protein-packed, and perfect for meal prep.
If you’re a pasta lover, the easy baked ziti was a clear favorite—cheesy, saucy, and bubbling hot from the oven. It’s the kind of recipe you can make ahead, freeze, and bake when you need a no-fuss dinner the whole family will love.
Rounding out the list was a one-pan lemon herb salmon with roasted vegetables, a quick yet elegant meal that’s as healthy as it is flavorful. The combination of bright citrus and fresh herbs makes this dish feel special while still being weeknight-friendly.
