Chicken Parm Smashed Tacos with Caprese Salsa

If you're looking for an easier take on the delicious (but a little labor-intensive) Chicken Parmesan, give this taco version a go. The ground chicken on these tacos gets the Parm treatment—seasoned, then dipped in egg, then breadcrumbs. Instead of a marinara, a fresh Caprese salad serves as the taco topper. Fresh, delicious, and so darn easy!

Sunny Side Up Cookies Are the Adorable Treats We're All Making for Easter

"These lemony-almond sunny-side-up sandwich cookies, with lemon curd filling, are shaped to look like little hard-boiled eggs," says Allrecipes Allstar Kim Shupe, who shared this adorable recipe. "They're a bit of a project, I won’t lie; but when the end result is both adorable and delicious, it's worth the time it takes. Plus, they’re a fun and tasty treat to make for Easter, or whenever the mood for egg-shaped cookies strikes!"

Cowboy Butter Chicken Pasta

Inspired by our ultra-viral Cowboy Butter, this chicken pasta recipe has a "perfectly seasoned, creamy cheese sauce with a smoky edge and a little bite," according to Allrecipes member Debbie Hendrix, who created this tasty dinner. The recipe calls for two chicken breasts, but feel free to use leftovers (any cut) or rotisserie chicken to make it even easier.

Parmesan Pesto Crusted Chicken

"This Parmesan pesto crusted chicken is perfect for a quick dinner or a special date night at home," says The Daily Gourmet, who shared this recipe. "A crust of panko, herbs, and grated Parmesan covers chicken breasts coated in pesto. Fried briefly in a skillet, they finish cooking in a hot oven. This recipe delivers big flavor with minimal effort."
