This is a great dish for a cold day. The pistachios and breadcrumbs create a flavorful crunchy crust that pairs perfectly with the plum relish!

Quinoa-Crusted Chicken with Brussels Sprouts & Cranberry Salad
Shredded Brussels sprouts are the new coleslaw, teamed up here with sweet cranberries and tangy feta cheese. Earthy quinoa cooks up so quickly it’s easy to make a small amount for coating tender chicken breasts—a nice counterpoint to the crunch of the salad. Bake Your Day created this recipe from an ingredient list submitted by Tanah B., who was a finalist in the Just Bare Chicken +5 Ingredient Challenge.
Sesame Roasted Chicken with Coconut Rice
For a speedy after-work dinner, get the chicken marinating before you leave the house in the morning. Fragrant jasmine rice rounds out a simple menu—freeze the leftover coconut milk in an ice cube tray to use in a future curry supper. Add a salad of thinly sliced cucumbers or a quick Napa cabbage slaw.

This 5-ingredient recipe was created by Eric G. and was selected as a runner-up in the Just Bare® Just 5 Cooking Challenge in 2011.
Chicken Artichoke Salad with Roasted Potatoes
Baby artichokes are really fully grown, just smaller when ready to be harvested. They are a great source of vitamin C, folate, fiber, and minerals—in addition to being beautiful and a seasonal treat. Try to find dandelion greens, too, as they have a fleeting season.
Maple & Mustard Chicken Breast with Wild Rice & Pomegranate Dressing
This is a perfect dish for a more intimate holiday supper. Enjoy with a lively rich chardonnay or Fume Blanc!
Champagne Chicken Stroganoff
This version of stroganoff—which most often is made with beef and takes much longer to cook—is elegant enough for a New Year’s celebration but won’t take you away from the party. Using a nice pour of champagne, which is similar to cooking with a slightly sweet white wine, adds a fun twist that fits the season.
Savory Caramel Chicken with Roasted Pumpkin
Serve this warming sweet-savory chicken dish with steamed Chinese gai lan (broccoli) and fragrant jasmine rice. Substitute other hard winter squash if you’d like, like Buttercup, Kabocha, or Butternut.
Garlic Lemon Barbecued Chicken with Roasted Cauliflower
In the fall, cauliflower, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, and squashes flood the farmers’ markets. Golden roasted cauliflower is especially delicious with this barbecue-coated chicken, but sub in your family’s favorite. If you’d prefer to grill the chicken, just roast the garlic and cauliflower in the oven.
Grilled Chicken Thighs with Nectarine-Red Onion Relish
If you’d like, grill halved nectarines and thick slices of red onion, then chop and toss with honey and vinegar to serve alongside the juicy grilled chicken.
