"This recipe could not be easier to make, and I always have the ingredients on hand, so it's a great go-to when I've been forgetful or lazy. Based on another reviewer's recommendation, I use salsa verde-I also add chili powder and cumin, just to give it additional flavor. Definitely shred the chicken before you add the cream cheese (I use reduced fa..."

"This is a very easy chowder, but tastes like a lot of time and effort went into preparation. It's a little thinner than most clam chowders I've had in the past, but I actually like that. The leftovers heat up well, and make for a great lunch the next day. I haven't made the sandwiches, and don't intend to-the chowder with some crusty bread works j"

"I never quite know what to do with shrimp, and this recipe is a great way to use frozen shrimp that one can get at Costco or other big box stores. Serve it over pasta, and it makes for a quick and easy weeknight meal. My only complaint is that is doesn't make for good leftovers-the shrimp toughen up. Overall, a very nice go-to recipe. Thank you Gi"

"This is my husband's most requested meal, served alongside Giada's fiery angel hair pasta. It's simple, quick, and I usually have all of the ingredients on hand (which makes it a great go-to recipe). Don't skip the chili oil step-it makes a big difference, and any extra can be used in other recipes (it's excellent to pop popcorn in!). Thanks Giada!"

"This is a tasty, easy dish to make on a busy weeknight, and my family always loves it. The only catch? Yikes, there's a lot of butter and oil! I typically cut the amount of both in half, and forgo the butter at the end-the lemon and capers impart enough flavor that you can definitely ease up on the fat. I like the fact that I always have these ing"

"This is a fantastic chicken recipe, and so easy! I don't even bother making the sauce, the chicken already has so much flavor. Perfect for a weeknight meal, paired with roasted potatoes and salad. Thank you Giada!"

"This recipe won't blow your mind, but it's tasty and comes together quickly. Because there isn't a thick breading on the chicken, this dish feels lighter than traditional chicken parmesan; and, like I often do with Giada's recipes, it's easy to lighten up in terms of fat and calories (easing up on the cheese and butter, for example). I use Mario B"
