A dish that’s fast, easy and flavorful

- AMERICA’S TEST KITCHEN

There are several steps you can take to elevate lean chicken breasts for a weeknight meal. We started with a bold citrus vinaigrett­e.

For an intense hit of citrus flavor, we used lemon juice enhanced with both lemon and orange zest.

Then, pounding the chicken breasts to an even thickness ensured that they cooked at the same rate and stayed juicy.

A little cinnamon and cumin rubbed onto the chicken added deep flavor and the heady aroma of warm spice to the dish.

Dredging the seasoned breasts in flour before searing protected their exteriors from becoming tough. Plus, the seared flour created a textured surface for the vinaigrett­e to cling to.

Slicing the cooked chicken before topping it with the vinaigrett­e made each bite well-seasoned.

A sprinkling of cilantro added a fresh herbal counterpoi­nt to finish the dish.

Craving s’mores? Whip up these Rice Krispies treats.

They’re packed with everything you love about the classic summer camp treat — melty chocolate, crunchy graham crackers and gooey marshmallo­ws — without the need for a fire.

To deliver graham cracker flavor in every bite, you’ll replace a portion of the Rice Krispies cereal with coarsely crushed graham crackers.

The chocolate comes in the form of milk chocolate chips, and instead of melting all the marshmallo­ws, you’ll stir some in separately so there are pieces in every bite.

If you want to go the extra mile, press extra chocolate chips, graham cracker crumbs and mini marshmallo­ws on top for decoration.
