I am tired of eating chicken, said nobody ever! And the best part of cooking chicken, you don’t need to be a pro in the art of cooking. It’s possibly one of the most versatile members of your kitchen family. Put it in casseroles, toss it over spaghetti, pasta or linguine, bake it, throw it into soups or just do a good old-fashioned stir-fry. In short, eat it as your mood wants it. And just to make our lives a bit simpler, I have a go-to list of chicken meals for my tribe here!
Lemon Chicken Pasta
Just came back from work or super tired from the household chores and craving a super yumm ‘chickeny’ dinner but not another UberEats again? I hear ya!! And you’re in luck honey, as I have got your back on this one. Presenting the Lemon Chicken Pasta from Delish, I bet you already have all the ingredients sitting in your pantry, right now! Try it and tell me how it was!
Creamy Tuscan Chicken
For this Creamy Tuscan Chicken on Delish, the sauce is the heart and soul. So if you don’t have everything tonight, save the recipe and run for the ingredients tomorrow. I’m sure this recipe is worth that one extra trip to Whole Foods.
Garlic Butter Chicken
Honestly, I don’t think I could wait to get these pretty chicken pieces into an eating bowl, check out the photos on Eat well 101 and you would agree. What wonders could simple ingredients do, this Garlic Butter Chicken is a slurpy example!
Yellow Curry Chicken

This dish could wear a number of hats, it could be your side dish with rice, with brown bread, over a bed of quinoa or just be a hero on its own. Follow the recipe on Ambitious Kitchen.
One Pan Balsamic Chicken
Ok, tell me what veggies are there in your crisper right now, you could use whatever you want. This easy chicken {yumm and healthy} dinner could be your ‘clean up the crisper’ kind of food! If you have Balsamic Vinegar and Italian Dressing, you’re all set! See what it takes to make this satiating dinner on Chelsea Messy Apron.
Honey Dijon Chicken
Well, this one on Inquiring Chef is one of my best bets when I come home so tired that I am almost drooping to the floor. Another reason being I prepare the sauce beforehand and refrigerate, which speeds up the process and I am an inch closer to my dinner. Moreover, this recipe also qualifies as a ‘fridge crisper cleaner!’ Meaning tossing in the pan those veggies which have been languishing for some time and the outcome is delectable!
Lemon pepper chicken thighs
If you want to do this with breasts instead of thighs, it’s just as fine. Simple elements like lemon, paprika, garlic, onion powder come together to make a burst of flavors. This Lemon Pepper Chicken Thighs on The Salty Marshmallow is your no-frills weekend filler, which you could just put into the oven and help your kid with the latest art and craft project!
Chicken Marsala
Well, this is the kind of chicken meal I would make on a day off. Why? Because I love Marsala and would love to relish its delicate flavor by smelling every bit of the chicken on my fork, all while I lazily look outside my window! When would you make this, take your pick. Read the recipe on Rachael Ray Show.
Chicken Shawarma
Middle eastern food makes me salivate! Did you say, same pinch? Ouch! Go get this recipe done then, it’s worth every bit of effort. Served on a bed of quinoa with sautéed veggies, it’s a yummy and a healthy fare too! This Chicken Shawarma on Peas and Crayons can well become your next weekly staple.
Healthy Chicken Parmesan
