1. Steak and Eggs

Father’s Day is the perfect excuse to treat dad to a fancy steak and eggs brunch.
These steaks are marinated in a simple garlic and herb mixture and then grilled until they’re perfectly charred.

The key to a good steak is to let it rest for at least a few minutes before slicing.
While the steak is resting, fry eggs in the same skillet that you used to cook the steak to soak up all of the flavorful bits.
2. Bacon and Cheddar Mac ‘n Cheese

Is there any dish more comforting than mac ‘n cheese? We think not.
This version is extra special thanks to the addition of crispy bacon and sharp cheddar cheese.

Paired with a side salad, this rich and creamy dish makes a delicious Father’s Day meal.
3. Baked Potato Soup

This is one of the first recipes I ever posted on my blog and it’s still one of my all-time favorites.

Classic Baked Potato Soup is the ultimate comfort food and it’s perfect for a chilly day.
It’s loaded with potatoes, bacon, cheese, and green onions. This is a must-try recipe!
4. Grilled Chicken and Veggie Salad

There’s no shortage of flavor in this salad! It’s made with grilled chicken breasts, zucchini, bell peppers, and red onion, and then tossed in a tangy lemon and garlic dressing.
I like to serve the salad over a bed of mixed greens, but you can also serve it over a bed of quinoa or brown rice.
5. Chicken Alfredo Pizza

Pizza is a classic takeout dish that you can easily make at home.
This Chicken Alfredo Pizza is a fun twist on the traditional cheese and pepperoni.
We used our homemade pizza dough for the crust, but you can also use store-bought dough.

Top the dough with a creamy Alfredo sauce, mozzarella cheese, cooked chicken, and spinach. Bake until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
Once the pizza comes out of the oven, top it with fresh basil and a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese. This pizza is sure to be a hit with the whole family!
6. Chicken and Broccoli Mac ‘n Cheese

Mac ‘n cheese is a classic comfort food that’s perfect for a Father’s Day meal.
This Chicken and Broccoli Mac ‘n Cheese is a more nutritious take on the classic dish. It’s creamy, cheesy, and oh so delicious.

The chicken and broccoli add some extra protein and fiber to this dish, making it a more well-rounded meal. The best part is that it’s ready in just 30 minutes!
7. Grilled Chicken and Spinach Salad

For a lighter meal option, this Grilled Chicken and Spinach Salad is a great choice. It’s a complete meal in a bowl with greens, protein, and carbs.
The balsamic marinade for the chicken also doubles as the salad dressing, so you can prep the whole meal in just 30 minutes.
8. BBQ Chicken Salad

A big salad is always a great option for lunch or dinner.
This BBQ Chicken Salad is full of flavor and is a great way to use up any leftover grilled chicken.
I used a mix of romaine and iceberg lettuce, but you can use whatever greens you prefer.
Then, I added in some corn, black beans, red onion, and cherry tomatoes. The veggies add a nice crunch and a pop of color to the salad.
The star of the show in this salad is the grilled chicken. I used my go-to grilled chicken recipe and then tossed it in BBQ sauce.
You can use your favorite store-bought BBQ sauce or make your own.

I also added some cheese and tortilla strips to the salad. I love using tortilla strips in my salads for a fun crunch.
You can find them in the salad dressing aisle at the grocery store. If you can’t find them, you can use crushed tortilla chips instead.
9. Buffalo Chicken Mac ‘n Cheese

This mac ‘n cheese is the ultimate comfort food! It’s creamy, cheesy, and so easy to make.
My favorite part is all the hidden veggies in the sauce! You won’t even taste the cauliflower, carrots, and onions.
It’s the perfect way to sneak in some extra veggies!

You can make the sauce ahead of time and store it in the fridge. Then, just cook your pasta, add your buffalo chicken, and stir in the sauce.
This is a great recipe to make for a new mom or someone who just had surgery!
10. BBQ Chicken Pizza

Dad will love this BBQ Chicken Pizza with homemade crust! It’s a great way to use up leftover chicken, and you can customize it with your favorite toppings.

This recipe makes two 10-inch pizzas, so you can make one with BBQ sauce and one with pizza sauce, or you can make both with BBQ sauce and use the other half of the chicken on our BBQ Chicken Salad.
11. Garlic Chicken Alfredo Pizza

This Garlic Chicken Alfredo Pizza is a great way to show your dad you care.
It’s a fun and delicious way to say “I love you” and “thanks for being so awesome.” This recipe is simple and delicious.
The sauce is made with vegan butter, garlic, and almond milk and then topped with vegan mozzarella and chicken.
If you don’t have a lot of time to make a pizza from scratch, you can use a store-bought crust, vegan cheese, and vegan chicken. You can even use a gluten-free crust if you need to.
12. Chicken Bacon Ranch Pizza

This pizza is a total game-changer! It’s topped with the best ingredients and flavors. Chicken, bacon, and ranch are a match made in heaven!
