Sheet-Pan Chicken with White Beans & Mushrooms
This sheet-pan chicken and mushroom recipe features kale, mushrooms and beans—all prebiotic foods that offer plenty of fiber to help you maintain a healthy gut. We use a mini food processor to make quick work of making the chimichurri sauce, but you can easily make it by hand by finely chopping the ingredients and whisking in the oil at the end.

Chicken, Mushroom & Ricotta Pasta
Ricotta cheese is the key to this easy pasta dish. Combined with Parmesan cheese, lemon juice and a little bit of pasta cooking water, it adds richness and texture that clings to the pasta and veggies perfectly. For the smoothest results, use freshly grated Parmesan—pre-grated cheese often contains cellulose that can prevent melting.

Creamy Balsamic Chicken & Mushroom Skillet
The sauce in this creamy balsamic chicken and mushroom skillet recipe strikes the perfect balance of acidity and sweetness. The shallots, garlic and thyme add aroma and flavor to the dish. Thin-cut chicken cutlets are key for getting dinner on the table quickly. If you can’t find chicken cutlets, make your own: Look for boneless, skinless chicken breasts that are about 8 ounces each. Slice them in half horizontally and pound to an even thickness.

Chicken Cutlets with Creamy Mushroom & Sun-Dried Tomato Sauce
This delectable dinner features tender chicken cutlets smothered in a rich and creamy sauce infused with savory mushrooms and tangy sun-dried tomatoes. You can achieve crispy baked chicken in the oven, as we do here, with a light coating of cooking spray—make sure all the breading is coated. We love chicken cutlets for how quickly they cook, but feel free to swap them out for chicken thighs or even pork loin. Just be sure to pound them thin with a meat mallet or small saucepan so they cook all the way through.

Quick Chicken Marsala
Marsala cooking wine is a worthy addition to your pantry; it’s dry and sweet without being overpowering, and can cut through the richness of cream or stock. The alcohol will cook off as the sauce simmers. Adding butter at the end, a classic technique, gives the sauce its body and gloss. Serve this skillet main over polenta, mashed potatoes or hot cooked brown rice. If you have leftover thyme, try steeping in chicken stock before making a risotto, tossing with roasted vegetables or adding to a frittata.
