This salad is loaded with delicious ingredients like flavorful steak, jalapenos, and all of your favorite veggies, all tossed in the dressing of your choice.
Pesto Chicken Sandwich
Sandwiches are the kings of easy, low-effort meals that you can quickly slap together -- but let’s face it, they can also be really boring and tasteless. Enter: this mouthwatering pesto chicken sandwich made with Kevin’s Roasted Garlic Chicken Entree. It’s as easy as tossing your favorite veggies in a tangy vinegar while cooking your chicken, then assembling it all together.

Lemongrass Vegetable Soup
Spending all your money on takeout is definitely not necessary to enjoy the tangy, comforting flavors of lemongrass veggie soup! It’s also way easier to make than you may think: just sautee your veggies, simmer in an easy broth for fifteen minutes, and you’ll have a warm bowl of soup perfect for those cold nights you just want to get cozy.
Kung Pao Chicken Cashew With Peppers And Scallions
On the nights when you’re tempted to just call in an order to your favorite Asian restaurant, whip up this ten-minute kung pao chicken instead!
