DinnerThese spinach chicken burgers are simple to make: Preparations tips include precooking the chicken patties and buns just before serving to ensure fresh spinach pieces in the patties and melted cheese in the buns when the burger is sliced open (sliced hot cheese tastes better).
DinnerThis chicken and broccoli Alfredo casserole makes eight servings. The recipe is simple to make and prepare. I cook the pasta and broccoli at the same time in one pot and cook the Alfredo sauce in a separate pot while they cook. I include cooked chicken in the casserole when baking and top it with mozzarella cheese to heat the sauce and brown the cheese.
DinnerThis chicken piccata yields four servings: I thin the cutlets and measure the pan sauce first, then cook it right before serving, while the chicken still has a crisp coating with the glossy lemon-butter sauce. Capers add a salty brine to the lemon dish, contributing considerably to the overall flavor (they do a lot here).
DinnerParmesan crusted chicken with garlic cream sauce makes four dinner portions when I want the breading along with chicken prepared before the pan goes on and I finish it just before the meal. Thick slices rest above a shallow pool of sauce, with toasted panko lying on dry top.
LunchCremini mushrooms, sometimes called baby bellas, are recommended for this soup recipe because they hold their shape and provide strong flavor in a creamy soup. Sauteing the mushrooms before adding them to the soup adds texture and flavor contrast to the shredded chicken and parsley topping (I particularly enjoy browned mushrooms).
DinnerFor family and tailgating meals, fried chicken strips taste and feel much like fair-style fried chicken. Seasoned chicken pieces are coated with a cold-water batter and fried until golden brown and crispy on the outside, with juicy chicken tenderloins on the inside, not a dry coating.

All components except the sauce (the rice, chicken, sweet potatoes, and broccoli) can be cooked ahead of time and portioned into serving sizes. The sauce can be cooked ahead of time and added when serving the chicken.
LunchGreek chicken gyros make four filled pitas. To save time on the day you serve them, I chop vegetables and warm the pita bread right before serving. Other ingredients are Greek chicken and garlic and dill tzatziki sauce.
DinnerBone-in, with-skin chicken thighs are the type I use in my crockpot chicken and potatoes recipe. I pat the chicken dry before cooking in the crockpot. The chicken and potatoes cook in garlic and herb sauce. The savory juices can be spooned over dinner. The potatoes are below the chicken in the crockpot.
DinnerTo serve four servings of this meal, prep the chicken, garlic, feta cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, and basil. Make and serve the pasta at serving time. Creamy chicken and feta pasta with a tomato and cream cheese sauce, with feta folded in and short pasta shapes covered on all sides with sauce, are options.
DinnerChicken sausage and broccoli orzo is a dish I cook at home to eat for dinner and leftovers for lunch the next day. I can quickly separate leftovers of cooked orzo, chicken sausage, and broccoli after dinner for lunch. The sauce for orzo is creamy, like risotto. I like firm broccoli in this dish.
DinnerDinner will be ready in about 20 minutes. We offer crispy panko chicken and tagliatelle noodles topped with a Parmesan Alfredo sauce. Minced garlic cooked in olive oil is stirred into the sauce. Pasta cooking water is added to the sauce to make it easier to coat the noodles without other preparation.

DinnerPantry ingredients can be used to create KFC-style chicken recipes at home. Soaking chicken in buttermilk for 4 hours reduces inactive preparation time. A combination of chicken cuts coated in seasoned breading containing paprika, garlic, thyme, pepper, and other spices can be fried to a golden, crunchy exterior and juicy interior.
DinnerMake four chicken fajita bowls with separate components, including rice, cooked chicken and peppers, beans, and other uncooked ingredients, to eat throughout the week for lunch and dinner. Cooked leftovers can be stored for several days. Pan-fried seasoned chicken and peppers provide additional flavor and nutrition for the bowls.
DinnerThis sweet and sour chicken dish is an excellent choice for a family meal eaten at home or takeout. Golden-fried cornstarch-coated chicken is topped with sweet and sour sauce. Oven-finished fried chicken is topped with a blend of sugar, soy sauce, ketchup, apple cider vinegar, and other ingredients to create a sweet and sour flavor and crunchy texture.
DinnerChoose boneless, skinless chicken breasts that can be pounded or sliced in half to ½ inch thick. Thin chicken breasts cook quickly and stay juicy. Boneless, skinless chicken breasts prepared in this way are double-dredged in flour and spices, fried to a crispy texture, and served with sweet-and-salty honey garlic sauce for a quick meal.
DinnerChoose boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs that are fresh and evenly sized for this shredded chicken chicken enchilada soup recipe. Boneless, skinless chicken breasts and thighs are simple to shred and provide a meaty texture and flavor to this soup. Green enchilada sauce and salsa verde provide green chile flavor. Monterey Jack and cream cheese add creamy, cheesy flavor to this soup.

These Crack Chicken Tenders include oven-baked chicken strips coated with crushed Ritz crackers for a buttery, crunchy topping and seasoned with Ranch-Parmesan flavor, prepared with a simple mayonnaise binder.
DinnerThese Crockpot Chicken Nachos for Eight are an easy, mess-free meal for weeknights and game days. Prepare chicken with taco-seasoned and other ingredients.
