9 Easy Dinners to try this Summer Recipes included Hot Honey Chicken Biscuits Ingredients Frozen chicken patties Pillsbury Grands biscuits Pepper jack cheese slices Dill pickle slices Hot honey Sauce (I use Trader Joes) 2 tablespoons melted butter 1 tsp. Garlic powder Salt and pepper (as needed) Directions Preheat the oven to 380°F. Line two half baking sheets with parchment paper and line one with the chicken and the other with the biscuits. Bake until the biscuits are almost done (about 10-12 minutes) then remove and let cool slightly until you can hold them. Slice the biscuits in half. When the chicken is done, drizzle generously with the hot honey. Add a patty to each biscuit. Top with cheese and pickles and place the tops on. Mix together the melted butter, garlic powder, and a little more hot honey. Brush over the warm biscuits. Bake for another 5-7 minutes until the biscuits are golden brown. I served with french fries and fresh fruit/veggies. Enjoy!

I like to add the water to the marinara jar and shake it to get all the remaining sauce out of the jar. Let simmer for a few minutes before removing from the heat and setting aside.

Home with Hart White Chicken Lazy Lasagna Ingredients • 1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter • 2 cups heavy cream • 3-4 cloves garlic, minced • 1½-2 cups freshly grated Parmesan cheese • 2 teaspoons Italian herb seasoning • Salt and pepper to taste • 1 packed cup baby spinach, chopped • 2 packages Chicken ravioli • 1½ cups mozzarella, shredded Directions Preheat the oven to 375°F. Start by adding the butter to an oven-safe pan. Let it melt over medium low heat before pouring in the heavy cream. Bring the butter and cream to a low simmer then add in the minced garlic Slowly start to incorporate the parmesan cheese- gently whisking to avoid any clumps. Turn down the heat to low then add in the seasonings and chopped spinach. Let the sauce simmer for 2-3 more minutes until it's thickened to your liking. If it gets too thick add in another splash of heavy cream or milk. Remove from the heat and reserve ½ cup of the sauce. Nestle all of the ravioli into the sauce. If you're using two packages, you will need to layer some of the noodles on top of each other and that's ok! Use the reserved sauce to cover any of the exposed noodles before sprinkling on all of the cheese. Bake for 15-20 minutes until the cheese is all golden brown. Serve and enjoy!
