Chicken Recipes for dinner

Winner, winner chicken dinner!

I cook more chicken for dinner than any other item… ok maybe pasta runs a close second. 

I cooked so many of these reicpes over and over during our kitchen REMODEL (take a look here to see it all).

These chicken recipes will have you looking like a winner day after day, week after week…. you get the point.

Are you like me and always looking for a quick and simple chicken dinner idea? I am. We eat a ton of chicken, and creating new recipes to enjoy chicken in is what I’m all about!

Having cooked chicken on hand is KEY to quick meals in my house.

I often cook 6 pounds of boneless, skinless chicken breasts each week, so within minutes each day, I can make lunch or dinner easily.

This is one list of recipes you should print out and have at the ready anytime you don’t have a well laid out plan for meals, or simply just because these have become your new favorites, and some make it into your weekly rotation.

With the variety of dishes here, you’ll have everyone guessing what will be served next.

From soup to salad….

and pasta to pizza.

If you want tips on preparing chicken, take a look at

Take a look at How I Cook Chicken For the Week at ONCE on a pan on the stove.

You could put the chicken in a pressure cooker and Cook Chicken in 22 minutes for the week.

You could lay the chicken out on a baking sheet covered with foil and bake it at 350 degrees for 35 minutes or until done.

You can also buy rotisserie chicken and use that.
