Get a kid-friendly dinner on the table in just 30 minutes with Giada's easy-to-do meatball dish. Toss homemade chicken meatballs with pasta, mozzarella cheese and basil for a meal the whole family will enjoy.

This five-star stew is prepared all in one pot. Cook the chicken in a juicy base of tomatoes, celery, carrot and onion until the meat is almost cooked through. After shredding it on a work surface, return the chicken to the stew and simmer until ready to serve.

The secret to the great flavor in Giada's five-star chicken Parmesan is all in the chicken. Coat the cutlets in an herb oil of rosemary, thyme and Italian parsley before cooking.

A traditional carbonara sauce is made heartier with the addition of coarsely shredded chicken. Save time and use a store-bought roasted bird.
