We glazed sizzling bites of chicken with fresh broccoli and carrots in a sweet and savory Asian-inspired stir-fry sauce. This speedy weeknight dinner is healthier and tastier than takeout — and since it’s ready to eat in just 30 minutes, it’s also faster than waiting for the delivery guy.

One of the best aspects of chicken is how it tastes amazing fried, baked, or grilled. Some options are healthier than others, but if done correctly, they’re all delicious. Naturally, if you’re going healthy you’re going to opt for grilled. Our favorite way to enjoy grilled chicken is with this margarita twist. A little tequila on your chicken never hurt anyone.

6. Rosemary Portobello Chicken

Not everyone loves mushrooms (my own mom can’t even stand the sight of them!) but there are some of us who go nuts for their earthy flavor and almost creamy consistency. If you’re a mushroom maniac, this flavorful rosemary Portobello chicken, draped in a mushroom sauce, is a must-try.
