Spring Meal Plan #8
Four dinners, one protein that does double duty, and a no-bake snack to keep your people fueled.
This week we are keeping things fresh with a mix of tried and true favorites and a recipe or two that might just become a new staple in your house. The best part? One of our proteins does double duty, which means less time cooking and more time at the table. Paid subscribers get four dinners including a crowd pleasing sheet pan gnocchi, cilantro lime chicken that pulls double duty for taco salad night, a saucy gochujang noodle situation that is completely customizable, and a no-bake energy bite recipe to keep your people fueled all week. If you’ve been thinking about upgrading your subscription, this is a great week to do it!
DINNER #1: Cilantro Lime Chicken | Total time: 35 minutes | Serves: 6 | Versatile
This cilantro lime chicken is the first recipe I made from Modern Proper and I’ve been obsessed with their recipes ever since. These chicken thighs are flavorful, can be used in a bunch of ways and never disappoint. We recommend that you serve these with rice and a veggie on the side, but do whatever you like! Remember you are making double for taco salad later this week!
Notes:
On quantities: The recipe as is serves 6 with 3 pounds of thighs, so adjust your quantities based on how much your crew eats and how much you want leftover. I would recommend growing the recipe a little (to 4-5 pounds of thighs) if you are feeding more than 2 people and want leftovers.
Cook how you like: The recipe calls for making these in a skillet, but feel free to cook how you like. We grill often!
