At the beginning of January, I made a post asking the community for their best meal prep recipes to help me cook something new this year and get out of my comfort zone in the kitchen. I told you all that this year I would give my best shot at cooking the most upvoted comment from my post every week.

Here's Week #3

Slow Cooker Parmesan Herb Chicken & Orzo

Greek peas and potato – Arakas

Recommended by : Owlie_6 and Adorable-Row-4690

I decided to show you guys the other meals I cooked for the week. My wife always asks me to make some kind of legume salad, and she also requested a fruit salad this week. So here it is! It took me around 4 hours in the kitchen this afternoon, but I think it was worth it. We’ll be eating well again this week.

I really enjoyed making the Herb Chicken and Orzo. It had been a while since I dusted off my slow cooker, and I had almost forgotten how convenient it is. The Arakas was also pretty simple to make. I do not cook often with dill, but it was a fun new flavor to work with, and it is another vegetarian meal that my wife will be happy to eat. I added a pork chop to my portion because it was on sale, and the caveman I am needs to see some meat on his plate to be pleased.

Thanks a lot for the suggestions, and keep them coming. I’ll see you guys next week!

    Impressive!! You could add some chickpeas or lentils to the arakas too idk that it’s filling enough as a meal without it
