Say hello to our new favorite weeknight meal! Check out this simple one-pan recipe for cheesy + spicy chicken. #perduefreshcuts

Serves 2-4, depending on how much you want to make!

Ingredients:

PERDUE® FRESH CUTS™ THIN SLICED Chicken Breasts
¾ teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon dried oregano
½ teaspoon ground cumin
½ teaspoon mild chili flakes
½ teaspoon dried minced onion
3 limes, halved- reserve for zest
3 ½ tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
½ red onion, sliced
3 cloves garlic minced
2 jalapeños, seeds removed and sliced lengthwise into strips
2 cups frozen corn kernels, thawed (fresh corn works as well)
1 ½ cups shredded Mexican blend cheese (or any cheese you prefer)

Chopped fresh cilantro and green onions for garnish

Instructions:

  1. Mix together spices (chili powder, oregano, kosher salt, ground cumin, chili flakes, lime zest, black pepper, dried minced onion) in a small bowl. Sprinkle and massage spice mixture into all sides of chicken in container.
  2. Heat large oven-safe skillet over MED-HIGH heat. Add lime halves to pan and char on cut side for 2-3 minutes. Remove to a plate. Rinse pan if necessary.
  3. Add 2 ½ Tablespoons of the vegetable oil to the hot pan and let heat through until shimmering.
  4. Add chicken pieces to the hot pan, being careful not to overcrowd the pan (you may need to do 2-3 batches, depending on the size of your pan). Cook about 3 minutes per side, until chicken is cooked through, 170 degrees internally, then remove to plate.
  5. Move oven rack to the upper third part of the oven and preheat broiler to HIGH.
  6. Add remaining 1 Tablespoon vegetable oil and then red onion and cook for 2-3 mins, then the garlic for 1 minute. Next, add the jalapeño slices and lastly the corn. Cook, stirring often, about 2-3 minutes until corn begins to lightly brown.
  7. Add chicken back to the pan on top of the veggies. If the pan seems too carmelized, you can add ½ cup of water and let it deglaze the pan. Let the water evaporate almost entirely before you add the cheese.
  8. Sprinkle with shredded cheese and broil for about 2-3 minutes, until cheese is melted.
  9. When it is hot out of the oven, squeeze one of the lime halves on top of the whole dish. Garnish with fresh cilantro and green onion and serve with the charred lime halves.

How To Build A Local Community When You’re A Digital Creator

Verizon
verizon

In our Take 5 series, sponsored by Verizon, we ask women in business about unexpected challenges, their inspirations, recent wins, and how the free Verizon Small Business Digital Ready Program has helped propel their business forward. Here, we meet Rita Suzanne, a marketing strategist for health and wellness businesses who learned to network, connect with other entrepreneurs, and build her business online and IRL.

What's an unexpected business challenge that you've had to face and how did you overcome it?

The hardest thing for me was my sister passed away and I ended up taking custody of my nieces. I ended up being a single mom of four kids. This is the thing that transitioned my whole entire life. I stopped doing web design and started my podcast Mom Owned and Operated. I wanted to reconnect with other moms and figure out how they were able to run their businesses and raise a family and take care of themselves because I wasn't able to do all three at the same time. Through that journey, I realized that I really needed to connect with other people and how important it was for my business. It helped me to create that community that I was yearning for that I didn't realize that I needed.

What's a recent small win for your business?

For me, the win was just pivoting back to something that I actually wanted to do. Also, I’ve started to say no to things that I no longer want to do.

Who is a woman in business that you look up to and why?

I have always admired and looked up to Amy Porterfield [author of Two Weeks Notice]. I listened to her all the time when I was starting out. I think that she's amazing and I love her stuff. She just seems like a very genuine person.

Is there a resource that has made an impact on you as an entrepreneur?

I listen to a lot of audio books. One of my favorites that has been huge for me is You Are A Badass by Jen Sincero. I was told when I first started my business, by a friend who was a business coach, that I have a mindset problem. Ten years ago, I had no idea even what “mindset” was. Sincero’s book helped me to see what she meant by “mindset” and helped me adjust that mindset and fix some of the things that I didn't realize were broken.

How has the Verizon Small Business Digital Ready Program helped propel your business forward?

There are a lot of things that I have loved about it. There are local networking and training opportunities, and that has been great, and the online training is very valuable. It's a great resource. I find that marketing needs a three-tiered approach, meaning you need to network it locally, socially, and then also have a very comprehensive online approach to your marketing. One of the Verizon Small Business trainings that I took was all about taking advantage of your local resources. I found that to be extremely valuable because often people think they need to just focus on social media. I don't think that people focus enough on their local community.

We FINALLY Have A 'Spider-Man 4' Release Date!

Tom Holland and Zendaya are the "it" couple right now, and they're both at the top of their game. Tom Holland took a recent break from acting and has been doing phenomenal charity work with his Brothers Trust foundation, while Zendaya's had hit after hit with Euphoria, Dune 2, and Challengers. And it looks like the couple, who met doing Spider-Man: Homecoming, could be doing another new Marvel movie. Here's everything we know about Spider-Man 4.

When is Spider-Man 4 coming out?

Matt Kennedy/Sony/Marvel

Spider-Man 4 (which remains untitled) will hit theaters on July 24, 2026. Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Ringsdirector Destin Daniel Cretton will take over from Jon Watts, who directed the first three movies.

One important thing to note about this release date is that it comes after Avengers: Doomsday, which a lot of fans are hoping will see Peter Parker come face-to-face with Robert Downey Jr.'s Doctor Doom. Will the Avengers (and MJ) finally remember Peter? Will he be able to help the Fantastic 4 defeat Doom? Will this movie start a whole new trilogy? Tune in next July to find out!!!

Is Tom Holland's Spider-Man 4 coming?

Emma McIntyre/Getty Images

Yes, we're getting a Spider-Man 4! Tom Holland finally confirmed the news during an October 22 appearance on The Tonight Show, and in true Tom fashion, already revealed a huge piece of news: the movie will start shooting next summer. "Everything’s good to go — we’re nearly there,” he said. “Super exciting. I can’t wait!”

Before the movie was confirmed, producer Amy Pascal told Variety (when asked if they're making a fourth film), “Of course, we are."

It might feel like a new movie conflicts with the fact Spider-Man: No Way Home set up an MCU without Tom Holland's Peter Parker, especially since Tom said he needed to take a break from acting after The Crowded Room "broke" him. ("I’m now taking a year off, and that is a result of how difficult this show was," he tells Extra.)

However, Tom's also been very vocal about how much Spider-Man means to him, and how much he loves the movies. He also told Variety at The Crowded Room premiere in 2023 that he was already “having meetings” about the next installment.

“The simple answer is that I’ll always want to do Spider-Man films,” Tom tells Deadline at the Sands Film Festival. “We have the best in the business working toward whatever the story might be. But until we’ve cracked it, we have a legacy to protect...The third movie was so special in so many ways that we need to make sure we do the right thing.”

What has Tom Holland said about returning as Peter Parker?

Jay Maidment/Sony Pictures/Marvel

Tom Holland recently revealed that he's actually already read a script for Spider-Man 4 — and that he loved it! “We have a creative and we have a pitch and a draft, which is excellent,” he tells the Rich Roll Podcast (via Variety). “It needs work, but the writers are doing a great job. I read it three weeks ago and it really lit a fire in me. Zendaya and I sat down and read it together and we, at times, were bouncing around the living room like this is a real movie worthy of the fans’ respect.”

“One of the things is that, with Marvel, your film is a small cog in a large machine,” he continues. “That machine has got to keep running. You have to make sure you can fit into that timeline at the right time to benefit the bigger picture. That’s one of the challenges we’re facing. The time in which we need to get that done is a tall order but definitely achievable with the people we have working on it now.”

Peter Parker is one character fans take very seriously, and I know that with Tom and Zendaya at the front, this movie is going to be just as special as Spider-Man: No Way Home!

Will Zendaya be in Spider-Man 4?

JoJo Whilden/Sony Pictures/Marvel

Considering Euphoria season 3 starts filming in January (and based on the season 2 filming schedule could wrap by the summer), it's totally safe to assume Zendaya will return for Spider-Man 4. And fans are hoping for even more characters they love! "Hopefully Kingpin, Scorpion, Daredevil and Black Cat," says one Reddit user.

Forbes has also recently reported Sydney Sweeney could be joining the cast of Spider-Man 4. Sydney was in Madame Web earlier this year, and after rumors she booked the role thinking she was joining the MCU, this newest Tom Holland film would give her the opportunity to do just that. We could see her as Gwen Stacy, or as Felicia Hardy/Black Cat. Considering we've already gotten an extensive plotline surrounding Peter and Gwen in Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone's universe, I'm hoping we'd see her as Felicia!

Has Spider-Man 4 started filming?

Columbia Pictures/Sony Pictures/Marvel

Spider-Man 4 will start filming in "next summer" according to Tom Holland, which we're taking to mean the summer of 2025.

What will be the title of Spider-Man 4?

Columbia Pictures/Sony Pictures/Marvel

We don't have an official name for Spider-Man 4 yet, but fans are already coming up with new ideas. Some fan titles include The Spectacular Spider-Man,Spider-Man: Homeless, and Spider-Man: Home Again. I'd love for Spider-Man 4 to continue with the "home" theme, but switching things up with a brand new title would provide a fresh feel we haven't gotten before. I'm excited to see what Marvel goes with!

What are the Tom Holland Spider-Man movies in order?

Columbia Pictures/Sony Pictures/Marvel

Tom Holland has three Spider-Man movies, but he also shows up in some other MCU titles. If you want to watch all the movies Tom Holland plays Peter Parker, here's how you should watch them:

  • Captain America: Civil War
  • Spider-Man: Homecoming
  • Avengers: Infinity War
  • Avengers: Endgame
  • Spider-Man: Far From Home
  • Spider-Man: No Way Home

We Tested This Viral Lip Gloss On Four Different Skin Tones – Here Are The Results!

City Beauty
beauty products

We love a good beauty hack, from time-saving tips to discovering new beauty finds that make us feel confident and glowy for the season.

The B+C edit team recently swapped out our summer lip routine for City Beauty’s new plumping gloss, City Lips Sparkling Cider, and City Lips Night Oil, a smooth exfoliator that hydrates your lips while you sleep. I’m literally obsessed with it! They’re both Leaping Bunny-certified (AKA cruelty-free), and made without irritants or harsh chemicals. Plus, they plump more and more over time.

We all agreed the color looked great on our respective skin tones and the plumping factor didn’t sting like other plumping glosses. “I seriously can't believe it doesn't tingle when you apply it!,” said Jasmine, our staff editor. Read on for our full review of the City Lips Sparkling Cider plumping gloss and City Lips Night Oil, plus other City Beauty products!

Mallory Levy, Editorial Social Lead

The Cider lipgloss is great to have on hand in your car or on your desk for those last-minute touch-ups before your next Zoom call. “I love the soft sparkle. It’s not too flashy for work or casual outfits,” says Mallory. “It’s a great daytime shade to wear on no or light makeup days so I don’t look dead on Zoom calls.” LOL. It looks great layered on top of a base shade too. “I wore it on my anniversary and my husband loved it, “ says Mallory, who celebrated her first wedding anniversary. “He never notices my makeup!” She also found it less sticky than other lipglosses, which is a bonus when you have long hair on windy days.

Jasmine Williams, Staff Writer

Jasmine, who tends to avoid color on her lips, loves the color for fall. “I usually rely on clear lip oils whenever I wear makeup, but I can't get over how much Sparkling Cider reminds me of a golden sunset.” SAME. “Considering it's a plumping lip gloss, I'm shocked at how moisturizing it is. I only needed one coat to get the job done, but the smooth application made me add a few more.”

We all agreed there was no tingling effect, which was awesome. “It's not super sticky like some lip glosses tend to be,” adds Jasmine. “I can see myself reaching for Sparkling Cider no matter which fall outfit I choose to wear.”

Meredith Holser, Affiliate Writer

“I love the plumping component,” says Meredith. “I can definitely tell it’s working when I put it on, but it’s not overly distracting or painful. Plus, I notice a difference in the volume of my lips after applying!”

The color is also an ideal match for Meredith’s skin tone and lip color, though a bit more shimmery than the lip products she typically uses. I personally love the shimmer and it’s not too overwhelming. Meredith also really liked the City Lip Lip Oil. “The scent is very unique, almost floral,” she says. “The oil is definitely thicker than other lip oils I’ve tried, which is nice for the long-wear since you’re meant to apply it at night and let it soak in.”

Theresa Gonzalez, Branded Editor

As someone with naturally thin lips, I love the lip oil too and agree it feels weightier than other oils, which is part of its appeal. The gloss color is super pretty over my neutral base, especially for a fall look.

As the only (tired) mom on the edit team, I appreciated the Lid Lifting Treatment and was surprised how quickly I noticed a lift! I applied it at night and in the morning with a small dab on my lids, and I felt that I looked visibly more awake! It nourishes your skin too to soften the look of fine lines and wrinkles. It makes a great primer for eye makeup too.

Want to try it yourself? Upgrade your lip routine this fall with City Beauty’s new City Lips Sparkling Cider plumping lipgloss, and City Lips Night Oil!

Rachel Bilson Is Just As Happy With The Adam Brody Obsession As You Are

With the frenzy surrounding Netflix's Nobody Wants This (and Adam Brody's Hot Rabbi), I'm in the mood to rewatch all of the The O.C., if just to see Adam again. After all, Seth Cohen's witty, snarky personality is arguably the best part of the show. Well, I'm not the only one who loves seeing the "Adam Brody Renaissance" — his TV dad Peter Gallagher and his TV girlfriend Rachel Bilson do too!

  • Nobody Wants This has introduced Adam Brody to a whole new generation.
  • The O.C. star (and Adam's TV dad) Peter Gallagher says he's "proud of him all the time."
  • Rachel Bilson agrees the Adam Brody Renaissance has "always been there."

Stephen Dunn/Getty Images

During the opening night of his Broadway show Left on Tenth, Peter Gallagher told People just how proud he was of Adam Brody. “I wouldn’t go as far as being a proud dad, and I haven't seen the show, but I'm proud of him all the time as his friend and former TV dad,” he says. “And I'm not surprised at all [about the Adam Brody renaissance]. He's so talented and I'm glad he's still doing his thing.”

Despite the fact The O.C. is over 20 years old, Peter's character Sandy still gets my award for "Best TV Dad." He's so genuinely funny, but he also cares so deeply about Seth, his wife Kirsten, and their adoptive son Ryan. And when People asked what from the show has stuck with him, Peter admitted, “I just remember hearing Chrismukkah for the first time and thinking, ‘That’s brilliant. I think that’s gonna stick,’ and it did."

Frederick M. Brown/Getty Images

Rachel Bilson (who played Seth's girlfriend Summer and dated Adam IRL from 2003-2006) said in an interview with People earlier in October that she's pretty sure the Adam Brody Renaissance has "always been there," adding “I mean, he is awesome. He's the best.”

All I have to ask is, have y'all seen him in Shazam!? (He looked hot, okay bye.)

Nobody Wants This has proven Adam is one of the best around, and I couldn't agree more! But more important than my opinion? His wifeLeighton Meester! The Gossip Girl star told The Hollywood Reporterin 2019 just how much she enjoys spending time with him on set. (The two actors have appeared in projects like Single Parents, The Oranges, and River Wild together).

"He’s my best friend," she said in the interview. "I wanna work with him on everything, and I think he’s the best in everything." Swoon!

DIY This Easy 'Hocus Pocus' Group Costume For Your Main Witches

If you’ve ever turned on a TV around Halloween time, I’m sure you’ve seen the best witch movie of all time — Hocus Pocus. These quirky witches were brought back on earth for one night and spent the rest of the movie trying to win back their lives in the mortal world. Not only are they a hilarious bunch, but they also have some of the most colorful, iconic, and creative costumes ever. So naturally, we had to make them for ourselves!

In honor of Hocus Pocus 2 (which you can now stream on Disney+), help these sisters out by giving them the life they always wanted — grab your main betches witches and turn the Sanderson sisters into the most epic girl group costume.

Walt Disney Pictures/Buena Vista Pictures/Brit + Co

I teamed up with our former HMU stylist Misty Spinney to create these looks. A special thanks to Farah, Brenda, and Katie for bringing their A game to this shoot. They blew all of us away with their commitment to their characters — they may or may not have kept these outfits on all day to scare our other co-workers. FYI, if you and your besties aren’t a brunette, red head, and blonde, don’t worry. Head over to Amazon to pick up wigs for these looks.

“Oh look, another glorious morning. Makes me SICK!” — Winifred Sanderson

Brit + Co

(True fact: This film takes place in Salem, Massachusetts, and there is nothing more beautiful than a dewy fall morning in New England.)

As a sister of three, I can relate to these witches. Each of us is different but we all have the same goal — to stay alive by sucking the lives out of the children of Salem. I mean, JK — that is just the goal of the Sanderson sisters, not the Bryden girl gang. ;)

Winifred "Hocus Pocus" Costume

Brit + Co

The main difference between these three characters is the color scheme of the outfits. Bette Midler’s character wears deep shades of green and purple and a lot of intricate textures. Head to your local thrift store and find about 3-5 skirts to cut at different lengths and layer around your waist. Or follow Blake Lively's advice and grab some trim, lace, and overlay to add detail and texture!

Top the costume off with a lace-up corset and a structured green jacket.

Brit + Co

To get her wild hair, you can curl your hair randomly and then back-comb throughout. Separate into pigtail-esque high messy buns and secure with elastics and bobby pins. For her makeup, do a highly exaggerated smokey eye and brush pink blush on the apples of your cheeks. To recreate this tooth-pucker, start off by using concealer to cancel out your lips. Then create the heart shaped lip pucker with red lipstick. To make her teeth, use a white cream makeup and a fine paint brush to paint on the teeth and set with a translucent powder.

Sarah "Hocus Pocus" Costume

Brit + Co

Sarah Jessica Parker’s character is a bit salacious, but we love her anyways. Her costume is mainly pinks and a bit more girly. Let’s just say, to really get into this character, you will want to pull your corset extra tight and really lift up those ta-tas.

Brit + Co

Go with a heavily lined smokey eye, rusty red lips and lots of pale foundation to channel SJP’s character!

Mary "Hocus Pocus" Costume

Brit + Co

Kathy Najimy’s character Mary is the sister that is always forgotten. So forgotten that she didn’t even get a broom and was stuck with a vacuum. For this costume, stick to deeper fall colors and a billowy orange top. Top this costume off with the most forgotten-about witch cape you can find. ;)

Brit + Co

This hair style looks more challenging than it actually is. Start off by prepping the hair by backcombing every strand for a nest-like mess. Then take your hair and pull it into a high “loose” ponytail. Next add small elastics every couple inches or so to the remaining hair in the ponytail so you can make it stick up. Pull out a few strands and re-pin them into the mix to hide the ponytail elastics.

Brit + Co

“I put a spell on you, and now you’re mine.”
