Favorite Salsa Verde Chicken

Posted in 30 minute meals, AP's Favorites, chicken, comfort food, main meal, mexican, trader joes by

This 30-Minute One-Pan Salsa Verde Chicken is perfect for a busy weeknight.  It’s healthy, tasty, and super easy.

This Salsa Verde Chicken needs only a few basic ingredients and a casserole dish.

I always keep a jar of my favorite salsa verde from Sprouts in my pantry.  Trader Joe’s has a yummy version too, but I prefer the Sprouts version as it has a little more kick (from Jalapenos).

You can use either bone-in chicken thighs (my favorite) or boneless skinless chicken thighs works too.

Perfect over rice, tortillas, or chips.

Curry-Spiced Chicken

I always love it when the Blue Apron box arrives at my doorstep!  I tear open the box like a kid at Christmas to see what I’ll find.  This occasion was no different.  Here was what I made last night.  Thank you Blue Apron!  This is a great new addition to my recipe collection.

Curry-Spiced Chicken Thighs with Sugar Snap Peas & Fingerling Potatoes

Makes: 2-3 Servings

Cooking Time: 35 to 45 minutes

This Indian-inspired recipe from Blue Apron uses classic spices and preparations along with seasonal vegetables to create wonderfully balanced, fresh dish. In addition to Madras curry powder (a blend of chiles popular in Southern India), a flavorful yogurt sauce with cucumber and lemon juice tops this dish. Similar to raita (a traditional, versatile Indian yogurt condiment), the sauce’s cool richness beautifully contrasts the spiced chicken.
