Hibachi Chicken

The most popular recipe of the year on the blog and in my home, this Hibachi Chicken recipe is the recipe I made the most in the last year and you guys did, too, which makes me super happy!

Here's what one reader had to say, "This was amazing. Very tasty! I checked the container counts so many times because I couldn’t believe I was allowed to eat something so yummy on 21 day fix!"

Ok, I actually think I maybe made these Air Fryer Chicken Thighs even more than Hibachi and you guys for sure did, too. I am obsessed with how tasty, crispy, and delish this Chicken is and I make this rub in bulk and put it on allllll the things!

LOVE this reader comment, "These were AHHHMAZING!! Such a simple recipe, but the flavor was sooo good!! One of my littles, the picky eater one, asked for “meat” for her lunch!❤ This will definitely be on our dinner rotation!"

One sweet reader said, "10 out of 10. My husband was unsure about eating eggplant, and then gobbled up half the pan."

Shrimp Risotto with Lemon and Parmesan [Instant Pot]

"I’m what you’d call a “functional” cook. I don’t love cooking, and I have a few really good recipes that my family repeatedly request, but this one is entirely different. My husband, who usually describes my dinners as “alright” or “good” absolutely RAVED about this dish. His description? “The most incredible dinner you’ve ever made!” Thank you for making me look good, Nancylynn!!!"
