Cook, without stirring, until deeply browned on bottom, about 5 minutes. Gently stir; cook, without stirring, for 1 minute. Gently stir in onion mixture; remove from heat.

Italian Sheet-Pan Chicken With Bread Salad
Aubrie Pick
To toast the fennel seeds, heat them in a small dry skillet over medium, stirring often, for 2 to 3 minutes, or until fragrant. Ask your butcher to cut the chicken into leg, thigh, and breast/wing portions, or substitute an equal weight of chicken parts.
How to Make It
Step 1
Place garlic, onion powder, fennel seeds, oregano, salt, paprika, vegetable juice, and oil in the bowl of a food processor. Puree until it forms a rough paste. Place chicken pieces in a resealable plastic bag. Add the paste to the bag, and rub the marinade all over the chicken pieces. Seal the bag, and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours and up to 8 hours.
Step 2
Place 1 rack in middle of the oven and another in top third of the oven. Preheat oven to 400°F.
Step 3
Remove chicken from the bag, and arrange the pieces on a rimmed baking sheet. Place in oven on the middle rack, and roast for 30 minutes.
Step 4
Toss diced bread cubes with oil and 1/2 cup of the Parmigiano-Reggiano in a large bowl. When chicken has roasted for 30 minutes, remove baking sheet from the oven, and scatter the bread cubes around the chicken pieces. Return to oven, this time on the top rack, and cook 15 to 20 minutes longer, or until the bread is toasted and the chicken is golden brown and registers 160°F on an instant-read thermometer. Remove from oven, and let chicken rest for 10 minutes.
Step 5
In the same large bowl used for the bread cubes, combine tomatoes, fennel, basil, lemon juice, toasted bread cubes, the remaining Parmigiano-Reggiano, and all of the juices from the cooked chicken tray. Add a bit of oil, if needed, depending on the amount of juice from the chicken, and toss well. Serve the bread salad alongside the roasted chicken.

Asparagus With Grilled Melon Salad
How to Make It
Step 1
Heat a stovetop grill pan over medium-high.
Step 2
Drizzle oil on the cantaloupe, and place the slices on the grill. Grill the slices, without moving them, for about 30 seconds, or until browned on the first side. Flip the melon slices, and grill on the other side for an additional 30 seconds. Transfer to a cutting board to cool slightly.
Step 3
Cut the melon slices into 1/2-inch pieces, and place them in a medium bowl. Add tomatoes, mint, 1/4 teaspoon of the salt, chili paste, and lime juice. Mix well; set aside to let the flavors mingle.
Step 4
Meanwhile, heat 5 tablespoons of water in a large skillet over medium. Cut butter into 8 pieces. When bubbles just start rising to the water’s surface, begin adding the butter to the pan, 1 piece at a time, whisking constantly to form an emulsion. When all the butter is incorporated, reduce the heat to medium-low to keep the temperature just below a simmer. Add the thyme and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, and swirl the pan to combine. Add the asparagus to the pan, and toss gently to coat it in the butter.
Step 5
Cover the pan, and cook for 5 minutes, or until the asparagus is tender all the way through when pierced with the tip of a sharp knife. Transfer the asparagus to a platter, and spoon the melon salad on top. Scatter a few shavings of ricotta salata over the salad, if desired.
Burrata With Nectarines and Corn
Celebrity chef Giada De Laurentiis is the queen of eating well. Not only does she slay the TV culinary game with shows like Giada at Home and Giada Entertains, but she also pens covetable cookbooks like Happy Cooking and the new Giada’s Italy, which will be in stores at the end of March. We were lucky enough to get our hands on a copy of her latest title, which is full of “recipes for la dolce vita,” like this one for burrata with nectarines and corn
In this video, you’ll see how simple it is to put the springy starter together. All you need to do is marinate naturally sweet nectarines with refreshing basil, hot chili, vinegar, and extra virgin olive oil for 30 minutes. Toast crusty Italian bread and pair it all with super-creamy burrata and quickly sauteed corn. Yum.

Also great: This Italian-inspired starter packs a healthy balance of fats, carbs, and veggies, filling you up so you’re less likely to go overboard on your main meal (or dessert)
We especially love that the combination of rich burrata, grilled bread, bright nectarines, and corn is the perfect warm-up for any springtime dinner you’re planning to serve. Pair the appetizer—which only requires 20 minutes of active time!—with a light entree, like poached salmon or healthier crab cakes, for an impressive menu with minimal prep.
How to Make It
Step 1
Place nectarines, basil, chili, vinegar, 1 tablespoon oil, and the kosher salt in a medium bowl, and combine gently. Set aside, and let mixture marinate for at least 30 minutes at room temperature or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator.
Step 2
Heat a stovetop grill pan over medium-high. Brush bread slices with oil, and grill until lightly marked on both sides, 4 to 5 minutes total. Add corn to the pan, and grill on all sides until warmed with a few charred spots. Use a sharp knife to slice kernels off cobs, and add them to the bowl with the nectarines.
Step 3
To serve, spoon the nectarine mixture onto a platter. Tear the burrata into 8 to 12 good-size pieces, and arrange them over the salad. Sprinkle flake salt evenly over burrata, and drizzle a little extra oil over burrata. Serve with the grilled bread.

These Air Fryer Doughnuts Have Just 4g of Fat

Combine flour, salt, and remaining 1/4 cup granulated sugar in a medium bowl. Add yeast mixture, milk, butter, and egg; stir with a wooden spoon until a soft dough comes together.

Add carrots, celery, and celery leaves to bowl. Drizzle with sesame oil mixture, tossing to coat. Divide mixture evenly among 4 bowls; sprinkle with beef mixture and peanuts.
Strawberry Oat Pockets
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment.
Step 2
Combine flour, coconut sugar, baking powder, salt, and 1/4 cup of the oats in bowl of a food processor. Pulse until oats are coarsely ground, 2 or 3 times. Add butter, and pulse until mixture resembles coarse meal, 8 to 10 times. With motor running, add milk, and process until mixture forms a ball, about 15 seconds. Turn dough out onto a work surface, and divide into 2 equal portions. Flatten each portion into a 1/2-inch-thick rectangle. Wrap each rectangle in plastic wrap, and refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour.
Step 3
Working with 1 dough rectangle at a time, roll between 2 pieces of parchment into a larger 12-by-8-inch rectangle (about 1 /8-inch thick). Cut larger rectangle into 12 (6-by-4- inch) rectangles. Spread 1 1/2 teaspoons spreadable fruit on 6 of the small rectangles; brush edges with some of the beaten egg. Carefully top each with another small rectangle, lightly pressing around edges with the tines of a fork to seal in jam. Repeat with remaining 1/2-inch-thick rectangle and jam. Brush tops with remaining beaten egg; sprinkle evenly with remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons oats.
