Honey-Lime Chicken with Brussels Sprouts

A little sweet and a little tangy, this is an easy weeknight dinner that’s full of flavor. Chicken thighs stay tender and juicy, but you can substitute breasts or drumsticks, if you like. Use this same cooking method with carrots, potatoes, or even broccoli.

Pickled Onion and Jalapeño Relish

This relish will quickly become a refrigerator staple. Bright and acidic, this mixture of red onion and chiles is at home as flavorful garnish on tacos, but you’ll also love it mixed into the filling of deviled eggs, folded into a bright corn salad, or crushed with avocado for a brunch toast topper. Use the leftover pickling liquid as part of a brine or as the base for a vinaigrette.
