File this one under “go-to chicken recipes” fo File this one under “go-to chicken recipes” for summer grilling season!  Chipotle honey mustard chicken thighs to the rescue for a weeknight dinner the whole family will love. 🍗🙌 

Chipotle Honey Mustard Chicken Thighs
1/3 cup honey
1/3 cup whole grain mustard
3 tbsp olive oil
1.5 lemons, juiced
2 gloves minced garlic
3/4 teaspoon chipotle powder
1 teaspoon coriander 
1 teaspoon kosher salt
Black pepper
2.5 lbs chicken thighs
1 bunch of Green onions

Combine all the ingredients except the chicken thighs in a mixing bowl and stir until smooth.  Set aside 3/4 cup of marinade in a separate bowl. 

Pound your chicken thighs with a rolling pin  until uniform thickness.  Add to the marinade for at least 4 hours or overnight.

Turn on your grill to medium high and brush with oil to keep from sticking.  Place your green onions on the grill for about 5-7 minutes or until softened with grill marks. Place your chicken thighs on the grill for 4-5 minutes.  Flip to the other side and brush with the marinade that was in a separate bowl.  Continue cooking until internal temp reaches 165 degrees F.  Cover with foil and let rest for 5-10 minutes so internal temp can continue climbing to 165F.

Arugula and pistachio pesto pasta salad with burra Arugula and pistachio pesto pasta salad with burrata for that time when you need an impressive cold dish to bring to a potluck, bbq or graduation party.  The pesto is worth making from scratch because the peppery arugula mixed with the buttery pistachios makes for incredible flavor.  And the food processor does all the work for you!  Keep the toppings simple with extra arugula, cherry tomatoes and creamy, dreamy burrata for a simple but elegant dish.

8 cups cooked pasta like rotini
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
2-3 balls of burrata torn into pieces
2 cups packed arugula
1 cup roasted pistachios 
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 Tbsp lemon zest
1/4 cup lemon juice (~2 lemons)
1/2 cup grated parmesan
pinch red pepper flakes
1/2 tsp flaky sea salt or 1/4 tsp kosher salt
1 cup spinach
6T extra virgin olive oil

Combine the arugula, pustachios, garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, parm, red peoper flakes, and salt in a food processor and pulse a few times to combine.

Toss with your cooked pasta and cherry tomatoes. Top with torn burrata and extra arugula. Drizzle with evoo and top with cracked black pepper and flaky salt.

#salmonrecipe #salmonrecipes #ebtb #bagelporn #summersalad #summersalads #summerrecipe #healthyrecipes #healthyrecipeideas #seafoodrecipes #weeknightdinner #weeknightmeals #weeknightcooking #saladsofinstagram #healthysalads 

1/2 lb salmon filets, bones removed
6 cups shredded kale
1 everything bagel, cubed
1 avocado, sliced
1 tbsp everything but the bagel seasoning, divided
1/3 cup caesar dressing
2 tbsp olive oil
1/3 cup shaved or shredded parmesan
1 tsp olive oil
INSTRUCTIONS
 
•Preheat oven to 400 degrees F
•Toss cubed everything bagel with 2tbsp olive oil and 2 tsp of everything but the bagel seasoning. Spread onto a sheet pan and bake for 10-12 minutes, rotating the pan and giving it a little shake halfway through.
•Bake until golden crown and crunchy throughout with no softness in the center of the cubes.
•Spread a teaspoon of olive oil onto the salmon filet. Sprinkle the remaining 1 tsp of everything but the bagel seasoning over the top of the salmon. 
•Bake at 400 degrees for 8-10 minutes or until cooked to your liking.
Depending on the thickness of your filet, 8 minutes should cook through to medium rare. To be cooked well done, it will take closer to 10-12 minutes.
•While the salmon and the croutons cook, put the shredded kale into a bowl. Drizzle over the caesar dressing and massage it into the kale using your hands.
Massage well for 1 minute and then left the kale rest for 5-10 minutes while the items in the oven finish cooking.
Assemble salad by dividing kale into two bowls. Place a salmon filet on the top of each and scatter around croutons. Shave or grate parmesan over the top. Place sliced avocado around and serve with a fresh lemon wedge.
