All About "dinners" and "lunches"

The EatingWell Tuna Melt

Here's our updated version of the classic -- and great proof that you can have your, well, melt and eat it, too, even if you're building a healthy lifestyle. How about a tossed green salad on the side?

Barbecued Chicken Burritos

These burritos are something of a Tex-Mex wonder: tangy barbecue sauce, some roast chicken (or rotisserie chicken) and vegetables, all wrapped up in tortillas. For the best taste, look for a fiery barbecue sauce without added...

Almond-Crusted Chicken Fingers

Grilled Chicken Ratatouille

We gave this classic Provençal dish a taste of summer by grilling the vegetables traditionally used in ratatouille (bell pepper, eggplant, zucchini, tomato). Topped with grilled chicken, it makes an easy main course for summer...
