Chimichurri Chicken Thighs with Potatoes
An herb-packed chimichurri sauce makes this meat-and-potatoes main vibrant and exciting. Double the mixture and spoon it over grilled steak or fish on another night. For less heat in both the chimichurri and the potatoes, remove the seeds from the Fresno chile.

Waldorf Chicken Salad
The origins of the nut and apple Waldorf salad began at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel in New York City in 1896. Since then, it has remained a classic and has influenced many variations and twists on the original. By adding chicken and grapes to the salad, you can create an element of heartiness to this dish that makes it perfect for lunches all week. Among taste tests of multiple chicken salad dishes, this 20-minute recipe ranked the highest.

Blackberry Gin Fizz
For the perfect layer of creamy froth on top of each cocktail, be prepared to shake the cocktail shaker (with no ice) vigorously; the half-and-half helps set the egg white for a more stable foam.
