This deliciously tender baked chicken recipe involves only a few steps and can be served with salad or fresh vegetables for dinner. You could even use the chicken in a salad for lunch or divide them into containers for your weekly meal prep. A hearty, satisfying, yet good-for-you meal.

The ricotta cheese has a light and airy taste – not as overwhelming as mozzarella. It also works well in so many dishes and most diets like the paleo diet as a healthier alternative. Once baked in the oven, the chicken becomes all over crispy and golden in colour. So good!

Chicken is a great alternative to red meat. You can choose not to bread the chicken or you can use the breadcrumbs of your choice. For a gluten-free alternative to regular Italian breadcrumbs, I used Gluten-free Italian breadcrumbs.

For more chicken inspired dinners:

  • Buffalo Chicken Lettuce Tacos (Gluten-Free, Paleo)
  • Easy Gluten-Free Butter Chicken

Also, when you’re short for time, it won’t take long to prep the chicken before it goes into the oven. The chicken will be tender and delicious, taking only a few easy steps to get there!

#AD The living room is the heart of our home, and #AD The living room is the heart of our home, and so is our television. We live for all of the cozy movie nights together as a family, or the simple everyday uses, like asking “Hey Google” to tell us the weather or to play a favourite song, not to mention navigating through apps like it’s nobody’s business! (our old TV lagged like crazy and would completely freeze).

It was time for an upgrade — our new @HisenseCa TV exceeds our expectations and is everything we wanted and needed for our family. It’s affordable, functional and convenient, and the quality is outstanding. They really hit it out of the ball park by making a luxury TV with all of the essential features at an affordable price. The picture is crystal clear, it’s easy to mount, quick start-up, and looks perfect over our fireplace!

A few specs of the 65U88G Android 4K QLED Premium:

-Access to a huge selection of apps (400,000 TV shows and movies in Canada)
-Native4K UHD Resolution
Dolby Vision + HDR10
-Chromecast & Google Assistant built-in
-120Hz refresh rate, 6ms response time
-Hisense proprietary ULED technology meets Hisense QLED (Quantum Dot)

Let’s settle a debate. Android or Roku? Which model would you choose?
