This is the kind of recipe I often turn to when I am cooking for guests or planning a table ahead of time. It feels generous and comforting, but it is also practical. You can prepare it in advance, bake it once, finish it just before serving, and it still comes to the table soft and full of flavor. This chicken börek is slightly different from the crisp, dry böreks you might be used to. It is layered with shredded chicken, baked until golden, then finished with warm chicken b

Some nights call for a comforting meal that doesn’t leave you with a pile of dishes. This one-pan creamy chicken and mushroom recipe is exactly that. Tender chicken and earthy mushrooms simmer together in a garlicky cream sauce until everything is rich, cozy, and full of flavor. With just one pan and a handful of ingredients, you get a meal that feels indulgent yet easy enough for any weeknight. Serve it with rice, pasta, or bread to soak up every bit of the sauce.

I sometimes cook this combination quickly in the pressure cooker, but lately, I’ve been leaning on the oven instead — it does the work for you, and the flavors come together beautifully without much effort. The tomatoes melt into a light sauce, the peppers soften and sweeten, and the chicken stays tender. It’s a meal that feels homemade in the best

This yoghurt and cumin marinade turns simple chicken thighs into tender, juicy pieces full of flavour, perfect for busy evenings or an easy family dinner. The yoghurt gently tenderises the meat, keeping it moist as it bakes.

This oven-baked version is the one I make at home when I want something comforting without standing by the stove or dealing with splattering oil. The marinade is easy and familiar. Yogurt keeps the wings juicy, tomato paste adds depth, and a few pantry spices do the rest. Baked in a hot oven, they come out golden, slightly sticky, and full of flavor. Perfect for a r

This is one of those weeknight recipes that earns its place in the rotation.

It’s a simple dinner that feels like you actually cooked. Ingredients 4 boneless, skinl
