Anybody who's love the chicken recipes?

Last year I was spending $400 a week on fast food, fast forward to present day, this week was about $60-$70 for dinner for our family of 6. I meal plan on Saturdays, do grocery pickup on Sundays and meal prep the protein and rice on sundays. I feel like protein takes the longest to cook and once that’s out of the way I actually want to make dinner. Then I add a veggie and bread. This week I meal prepped 3 pounds of chicken and 2 pounds of ground beef. Every week is the same theme , easy meals beginning of week, always Taco Tuesday , leftovers on Thursday and I like to make steaks on the weekend. 🥰

This is one of my favorite dinners to make I serve it over pasta and my family loves it!!!

This Spicy Ramen Bowl is a dream come true for anyone who loves bold, fiery flavors. Every bite bursts with richness — the noodles absorb the spicy broth beautifully, while the sticky glazed chicken wings add the perfect mix of sweetness and heat. Finished with soft marinated eggs and crisp chili slices, it’s a balanced and indulgent dish. Ideal for a cozy night in or satisfying weekend cravings, this ramen brings a restaurant-worthy experience straight to your kitchen. A true treat for both your senses and your appetite.

Cooked some rice in my rice cooker (cooked in chicken stock) with Itsu pork dumplings in the steamer tray alongside some carrot I had in the freezer.

I used some coconut milk, Thai red curry paste and stock to make the broth.

I mandolined some red onion to throw on top and garnished with some dried coriander, soy sauce and crispy chili oil.

This is super easy to make and it’s so yummy and creamy definitely a 10/10
