The Weekly Feel Good: 🍗 2 dinners from 1 batch of chicken + a bonus protein dessert drop

Hello hello!

Okay so this week’s issue is basically a love letter to the recipe that started it all for me: the Cobb salad. There is something about a big platter of chopped up everything that makes me feel like I have my life together, even on the weeks I very much do not. And this particular version came out of a very specific Sunday where I stood in front of my fridge, looked at a pack of chicken breasts, and thought “I do not have it in me to make two totally different dinners this week.”

So I made one batch of ranch chicken, ate half of it plain over rice that same night, and turned the other half into a loaded Cobb salad with all the fixings two days later. Same protein, two completely different vibes, and my grocery list stayed short because of it. That is the whole philosophy behind this newsletter if I am being honest: cook once, eat like you tried twice.

And because a girl needs balance, I could not let a whole issue of savory chicken go out without a dessert to match. Birthday cake flavored anything makes me feel about six years old in the best way, so that is where the Ninja Creami went this week.

Here is everything you need for the week ahead👇🏼
