Monday

Air Fryer Chicken Parmesan

Why You’ll love this recipe:

  • Crowd Favorite: Crispy air fryer chicken topped with tomato sauce and melty mozzarella? No one can resist that!
  • Make in the oven! If you don’t have an air fryer, simply fry the breaded chicken until golden then top with the sauce and cheese and bake until melted.
  • Add a side: We always eat Chickken Parm with pasta (I make extra sauce to toss the pasta in) but a side of garlic bread and a big zesty salad will complete the meal perfectly.

Tuesday

Seared Fish in Puttanesca Sauce

Why You’ll love this recipe:

  • Low carb, high protein:ย This is a great recipe if you’re trying to reduce carbs. Healthy without compromising on flavor.
  • Versatile: We love serving the fish with sautรฉed broccolini and if you’re not counting carbs, some focaccia bread would be dreamy swiped through that sauce.
