It’s simple but it packs in loads of flavor for a one-dish meal. At Between Carpools, we love those one dish meals that are healthy and light and do a good job pleasing at least a majority of the people. If you’re looking for salads that are a meal, we have this Ramen Crunch Salad…

Caramelized Onion Chicken
It might take a couple extra steps–but this dish is that “notch up” chicken you’ve been missing on the menu. One afternoon, I set out to make Chicken Marsala for dinner. I didn’t, though, like the look of the mushrooms I had on hand. It was time to improvise. I worked with the remaining ingredients…
The 9×13 Life: Peruvian Chicken
Just the right spice is the easiest way to fast flavor. In my house, aside from our Between Carpools favorites, I have my “top three go-to fast prep dinners.” One is my side of salmon, simple seasoned (curry + cumin + dill + garlic + salt + pepper) roasted at 425°F until crispy at the…
Chili Lime Chicken Poppers
It’s always great to have more versions of your favorites. Our oven baked hot poppers from Dinner Done is hands down our family’s favorite recipe. This winter, I changed things up by using a new sauce on the poppers, creating BBQ Sticky Poppers. Yes, I know that when you find a good recipe that the…
Crispy Pargiyot over Caulirice and Israeli Salad
That easy, comes-together-in-minutes Chol Hamoed dinner that’s fresh and flavorful. I believe Pesach foods should be just as delicious as all year foods–no compromises. So my dinners for chol hamoed mirror my usual weeknight dinners with just slight adaptations. Here I baked pargiyot (skinless, boneless chicken thighs) because they’re incredibly tender and juicy, then chopped…
Sticky Barbecue Chicken Poppers
We love the classic Oven-Baked Hot Poppers from Dinner Done, but, yes, it is time for a new version! Before Dinner Done was released in November of 2022 we knew without a doubt that the most popular recipe would be the Oven Baked Hot Poppers (page 75). How did we know? Firstly because chicken cutlet…

Tangy Asian Chicken Fingers
It’s your favorite crispy chicken fingers, but with a twist that everyone will love. In our house, any sort of fried chicken is always a hit! We love this recipe. It tastes great and has a punch of flavor that is a nice change from traditional schnitzel. I often double the marinade and save half…
What Do You Do With Leftover Chicken After Making Chicken Soup?
Turn that pale and boiled chicken into an amazing meal for another night. Growing up we called chicken that was used to flavor the chicken soup, “chicken of the sea.” My mother would never serve it. She knew all of my siblings wouldn’t touch it. Chicken of the sea was not for us. But then…
