---

Ingredients

• 6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced into thin cutlets
• ½ teaspoon kosher salt
• ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 6 tablespoons all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 3 cloves fresh garlic, minced
• 1 cup chicken stock
• 1 cup heavy cream

Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

---

Instructions

1. Season the chicken breasts evenly with kosher salt and black pepper. Lightly coat each piece in flour, shaking off any excess.
2. Heat the olive oil and butter together in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the butter is melted and foamy, add the chicken in a single layer. Cook for 4–5 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer the chicken to a plate and set aside.
3. Reduce to a medium low heat. Add the garlic to the same skillet and cook for about 30–60 seconds, stirring constantly, until fragrant.
4. Pour in the chicken broth and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Stir in the heavy cream and bring the sauce to a gentle simmer.
5. Add the Parmesan cheese, oregano, thyme, and crushed red pepper flakes (if using). Stir until the cheese melts and the sauce begins to thicken.
6. Stir in the sun-dried tomatoes, then return the chicken to the skillet. Spoon the cream sauce over the chicken and let everything simmer together for 3–5 minutes, until the sauce has thickened slightly, reaching the desired consistency, with the chicken heated through.
7. Remove from the heat and sprinkle with fresh basil before serving.

Notes

Using a full cup of sun-dried tomatoes gives the sauce a bold, savory punch. If the sauce becomes too thick, loosen it with a splash of chicken broth or cream.

Baked feta pasta became popular on TikTok and is also known as TikTok Pasta. Still, this is not just a trending dish that will go out of fashion, but a recipe that you'll want to go back to again and again.

Baked feta pasta is known for its creamy texture and rich flavor from the melted feta and roasted tomatoes. There's a lot going on, flavour-wise, and you can add your own unique twist the addition of your favourite accompaniments.

Why you'll love this recipe

• This recipe is based on a viral TikTok recipe. There's a reason it went viral – it's absolutely delicious!
• Ingredients include cherry or grape tomatoes, feta cheese and lots of fragrant seasonings. For such a simple recipe, there's so much to it.
• Tomato and feta are a match made in heaven – salty feta, juicy tomatoes... what's not to love?
• Incredibly easy to prepare, this recipe is a low-effort maximum impact homemade pasta sauce.

How to make slow cooked feta and tomato pasta

You need cherry tomatoes, roasted peppers, pasta, feta cheese, garlic and basil for this recipe.

Place all the ingredients in the slow cooker. Cook on high for 2.5 hours.

Meanwhile, cook the pasta according to packet instructions.

After cooking, the contents should be fully cooked and tender.

Transfer to a food processor. I like my sauces smooth, but you can make your as chunky as you like.

Mmmmmm.... smooth sauce.

Place the cooked pasta in the slow cooker dish.

Pour the sauce over the pasta and stir until all surfaces of the pasta is covered with the sauce. Serve immediately. Enjoy!

What to serve with slow cooker feta and tomato pasta

Garnish

Scatter fresh basil, parsley, thyme, mint or rosemary on top for an extra herbal flavour.

To add a little crunch, use toasted pine nuts or walnuts. Lemon zest or lemon juice brings a zing, while a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil or balsamic vinegar adds a different flavor dimension.

Sides

I love serving slices of garlic bread with this recipe. If you're not a fan of garlic, any type of crusty bread will do. Freshly baked is always best, of course!

Lighten the meal with a light salad. A caprese salad would be a good choice. A simple rocket salad would also be ideal.

You could also add a few roasted or sautéed vegetables such as zucchini, roasted bell peppers, asparagus or broccoli.

Wine pairing

The tomato and feta bring high acidity and saltiness, so you need a wine that cuts through both, while bringing character. Crisp white wines or dry, light, fruity reds are ideal.

An Italian Pinot Grigio, a French Cabernet Sauvignon or a refreshing Greek white wine would also be perfect wine pairings for this dish.

Dessert

For an indulgent dessert you can make this slow cooker chocolate lava cake.

Popular variations

• Incorporating lean proteins such as cooked chicken or shrimp can increase the dish's nutritional value.
• Adding vegetables like spinach or kale during the last minutes of cooking enhances nutrition without requiring extra steps.
• If you don't have a slow cooker, you can bake in a baking dish in the the oven at 400°F / 200°C
• Add red pepper flakes or red chili flakes for a little extra heat.
• Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil for that extra touch of the Mediterranean.

Substitutions

• If you're not a feta fan, swap it with goat cheese, brie, camembert or cream cheese.
• If you don't like tomatoes, use red peppers or mushrooms in their place.
• Watching your carb intake? You can use wholemeal pasta. Alternatively, use chickpea or lentil pasta or zucchini noodles.
• You can use crumbled feta instead of a block of feta is you prefer.

A bright and zesty lemon pie with a smooth, tangy filling and buttery crust. Sweet, refreshing and perfectly balanced for a light, sunshine-filled dessert

---

Ingredients

For the Pie Shell

• 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
• ¼ cup granulated sugar
• 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

For the Lemon Filling

• 3 large egg yolks
• 2 (14-ounce) cans sweetened condensed milk
• ¾ cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 3-4 lemons)
• 1 tablespoon lemon zest

Optional Toppings

• Homemade whipped cream
• Sour cream
• Greek yogurt
• A little lemon zest or lemon slices
• Fresh berries
• Powdered sugar

Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

---

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish. In a medium bowl, stir together the graham cracker crumbs and sugar. Pour in the melted butter and mix until evenly moistened. Press the homemade graham cracker crust mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of the pie dish. Bake the crust for 8–10 minutes, until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and set aside.
2. In a large bowl, whisk the egg yolks until smooth. Add the sweetened condensed milk and lemon juice. Add lemon zest, whisking until fully combined and creamy.
3. Pour the creamy lemon filling into the warm homemade crust and smooth the top.
4. Bake for 18–22 minutes, until the edges are set and the center still has a slight jiggle.
5. Remove from the oven and allow the pie to cool at room temperature. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until fully chilled and set.
6. Slice and serve cooled lemon pie, topped with whipped cream and extra lemon zest if desired.

Notes

The filling firms up as it chills, so a slight wobble in the center when it comes out of the oven is exactly right.

For clean slices, wipe the knife between cuts.

This pie keeps well, covered, in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

For a UK version, swap the graham cracker crumbs for 1½ cups finely crushed plain Hobnobs.

Crispy air fryer baby potatoes with fluffy centres and golden, seasoned skins. Quick, easy and packed with flavour, they’re a great side for any meal.

---

Ingredients

• 1 ½ lb baby potatoes, washed, dried, and halved
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon garlic powder
• 3 tablespoons fresh rosemary, finely chopped (or 3 teaspoons dried rosemary)
• 1 teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
• ⅛ teaspoon black pepper

Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

---

Instructions

1. Add the cut potatoes to a large bowl and drizzle with the olive oil. Toss potatoes until evenly coated.
2. Sprinkle over the garlic powder, rosemary, paprika, salt, and black pepper, then mix well so the seasoning coats all sides.
3. Lightly spray the air fryer basket with oil and place potatoes in a single layer.
4. Air fry at 400°F (204°C) for 15 minutes. Shake the basket or simply toss the potatoes halfway through cooking.
5. Check for doneness by piercing with a fork. If needed, continue cooking in 2-minute increments until fork tender inside and super crispy on the outside.
6. Remove from the air fryer and serve hot alongside meat, fish, or your favorite main.

Notes

For metric measurements, use 700 g baby potatoes, 30 ml olive oil, and 7 g fresh rosemary (or 3 g dried rosemary). The seasoning amounts stay the same: 1 teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon paprika, and ⅛ teaspoon black pepper.

These potatoes work best when spread in a single layer, so if your air fryer basket is small, cook them in batches for the crispiest results.

Ingredients

• 2 French baguettes or sub rolls

• 3 cloves garlic, finely minced
• 2 tablespoons fresh chopped parsley
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ¼ teaspoon black pepper
• 1 ½ cups shredded cheese (see cheese options below)

Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

---

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a small bowl, mix the softened butter with the minced garlic and fresh parsley. Add salt, and black pepper until well combined.
3. Slice the French bread loaf (see slicing options below), then generously spread butter evenly over the bread halves, pressing it into the bread so it melts into the crevices.
4. Place bread on the parchment lined baking sheet. Sprinkle evenly with shredded cheese.
5. Bake for 12–15 minutes, until the bread is crisp at the edges and the cheese is fully melted.
   For a golden top, switch the oven to broil for the final 1–2 minutes, watching closely.
6. Remove from the oven, slice if needed, and serve hot.

Notes

How to Slice the Bread

In half lengthwise: Slice French bread straight down the middle. This works best when you want generous garlic butter and plenty of melted cheese on top.

Accordion (Hasselback) style: Cut the bread at ¾-inch intervals without slicing all the way through. The butter and cheese melt between the cuts, creating pull-apart garlic bread.

Individual slices: Cut the baguette fully into rounds before baking. This is ideal for serving with soup or for party platters and crisps up the fastest.

Cheese Options

Classic and melty: Fresh mozzarella, Monterey Jack, Colby Jack cheese, or a blend of mozzarella and cheddar.

Bold and savory: Sharp cheddar, Gruyère, or Fontina for deeper flavor.

Italian-style: Mozzarella with Parmesan, provolone, or Asiago.

Extra indulgent: Combine mozzarella, cheddar, and Parmesan, or finish with a light sprinkle of Parmesan after baking.

Flavor Boosts

Add red pepper flakes for a little heat.

Sprinkle in garlic powder for extra garlic flavor.

Swap finely chopped parsley for fresh basil or chives.

Finish with a light drizzle of olive oil after baking for added shine and richness.
