As seen on the Today Show... Forget the appetizer, we’ve turned the classic jalapeño popper into a main event. These bone-in chicken breasts are stuffed under the skin with a savory blend of garlic, shallots, and spicy jalapeño cream cheese. As it roasts, the skin gets golden and shattered-glass crisp, while the filling melts into the meat for the ultimate juicy, "how-is-this-so-good" dinner.

This is a mid-week can't miss meal features a Valerie fave ingredient, chicken thighs, and transforms them into the most delectable Chicken Parm you'll ever eat.

Imagine if a classic Italian dinner and a busy Tuesday had a very delicious baby. That’s this Chicken Milanese-ish. It’s the ultimate "fancy-casual" meal: sophisticated enough to impress a date, but simple enough to make while you’re still wearing your favorite sweatpants.

Chicken breasts are marinated in a Meyer lemon-tarragon-Dijon-honey dressing, grilled until charred and juicy, then served over peppery arugula with shaved Parmesan and grilled lemon halves. This bright, herbaceous preparation proves that a well-marinated chicken breast can be just as exciting as any fancy cut.
