You can truly never have enough delicious, easy dinner ideas on hand—especially when they come from the cookbook (literally or metaphorically) of chef, author, and culinary icon Ina Garten.
In the most recent video in her Instagram series “Ask Ina,” Garten walks through how she makes an easy chicken dinner. Specifically, she offers tips on how she keeps her chicken as moist as possible.
“Everyone needs a few dishes you can assemble in 10 minutes, then throw in the oven for 30 to 40 minutes while you drink a glass of wine,” she wrote in her caption. “This is one of my favorite recipes for when I’m too tired to cook but really want a hot meal!”
The meal is simple, but the ingredients bring the flavor: chicken breast with goat cheese and basil. She asks her butcher for boneless chicken breasts with the skin still on. One person commented that they sometimes struggle to find skin-on, boneless chicken breasts, and Garten responded by saying she'd try buying skin-on chicken breasts with the bone and removing the bone herself.
After you've assembled your ingredients and ready to prep, pat some of the moisture off of the chicken with a paper towel, which helps to make sure it browns nicely in the oven, according to Garten.
“So then I’m going to take the skin and separate it from the meat,” she says as she carefully peals the skin back and grabs two slices of goat cheese. “I’m using an herb goat cheese, [but] you can use plain goat cheese if you prefer. Just put it right underneath the skin. [Add in] one basil leaf or two small ones, and just cover it with the skin.”
One person commented that they made the recipe, but instead of buying herb goat cheese, they sauté shallots with rosemary and thyme and

We’re just a few days away from the first official day of spring, which, in our opinion, is one of the most beautiful seasons. With its blooming flowers, sunny days, and misty rains, it really is a breath of fresh air after a dark and cold few months. But, one thing not everyone is excited about every spring is spring cleaning.
Vines are a great way to add vertical interest to your ornamental flower beds, and native vines have the added benefit of supporting native insects. It sounds like a win-win, but vines can also be troublesome if planted in the wrong spot. The following four vining plants are native to the Southeast and thrive in a garden setting; plant them responsibly so they can be enjoyed for years to come.
We’re visiting another garden with Cherry Ong today, one that she saw on a tour organized by the Vancouver Hardy Plant Society last summer. This is a collector’s shade garden, full of lots of beautiful and unusual plants, including a stunning collection of Podophyllum (mayapples; hardiness varies, but mostly Zones 6–9).
The first day of spring (March 19) is quickly approaching, and with that comes time for spring cleaning, spring gardening, spring weather, and spring pollinators.
As a teenager, I distinctly remember my father telling me to not follow in the family business. I now know he said this to shield me from the many hardships farmers continue to face. America’s farmers, especially beginning and Black, Indigenous and People of Color (BIPOC) farmers face insurmountable challenges, yet 87 percent of young farmers are dedicated to regenerative, climate-smart farming practices. Today’s beginning farmers are passionate about growing nourishing foods, diversified crops and building soil; yet because of astronomical real estate costs, most farmers are unable to purchase land on which to operate.
We’re back enjoying part two of Cherry Ong’s visit last June to the garden of perennial gardening expert Pam Frost on Vancouver, Canada. Cherry visited as part of a tour organized by the Vancouver Hardy Plant Society.
