These new recipes are full of tasty fruits and veggies that reach peak deliciousness in the summer. Take advantage of the crispest cucumbers, juiciest tomatoes and tastiest citrus in these recipes that are perfect for warm weather. Whether you love to spend the summer grilling out or staying in, these meals will be a source of culinary inspiration all season long. Recipes like our Sheet-Pan Poblano-&-Corn Chicken Fajitas and Chicken-Quinoa Bowl with Strawberries & Pecans are delicious ways to bring a seasonal twist to your dinner table.
01of 20Sheet-Pan Garlic-Soy Chicken & VegetablesView RecipePhotographer / Brie Passano, Food Stylist / Annie Probst, Prop Stylist / Holly RaibikisThis easy dish comes together quickly and is cooked all on one baking sheet. Putting the pan in the oven while it preheats makes it hot enough to lightly sear the chicken and vegetables, adding texture and flavor and also reducing the cook time. Chicken thighs emerge from the oven succulent and coated in the savory sauce (with less salt because of the low-sodium soy sauce) and fragrant from the garlic, ginger and scallions. We recommend serving this with brown rice or whole-wheat noodles.
