My main goal is to create easy meals that can be enjoyed by the whole family. These days it seems like we are getting pulled in a thousand ways, except toward our homes and our dinner table. Dinner is the perfect time to take a deep breath and talk as a family, doesn’t matter if there are 2 of you or 10.

Tips

I suggest cooking your grilled cheese with just the cheese and then adding the chicken because this gives the cheese time to melt. It is also harder to flip the sandwich when it has the chicken on it.
