This crispy chicken is sure to be a hit with the whole family! It’s coated in a flavorful crust made with panko breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese, lemon and herbs. I like to serve this parmesan crusted chicken with a light and fresh side salad, like my Arugula Salad or favorite simple Green Salad.
This easy chicken alfredo earned two thumbs up from my whole family! It has a creamy, cheesy sauce tossed with your pasta noodle of choice and topped with tender pan-cooked chicken breast. Serve it with some roasted broccoli and dinner is done!
This chicken fried rice is what I make when I don’t feel like cooking but still want a tasty, satisfying meal. Frozen veggies and leftover rice make this recipe come together especially fast! We love this one with fresh or canned pineapple. It’s the perfect simple side dish and the sweetness pairs well with the savory fried rice.
Grab a jar of store-bought pesto and a few other simple ingredients and you can have this fresh and flavorful chicken pesto pasta on your table in 30 minutes. I especially love the leftovers of this one for lunch!
This chicken piccata has thin-sliced chicken breasts served with a bright and flavorful lemon butter caper sauce. It comes together in one skillet and is delicious served over Instant Pot mashed potatoes or spaghetti. You won’t believe how simple this restaurant-quality dish is to make!
This Tuscan chicken recipe has tender chicken breasts, sun-dried tomatoes and spinach in a creamy sauce, perfect for serving over pasta, rice or mashed potatoes. Similar to the popular marry me chicken, this one is perfect for date night at home.
This easy stir fry has a sweet and tangy teriyaki sauce coating chicken, fresh vegetables and pineapple. Serve it with rice to soak up the extra sauce. This is one of those recipes you’ll be so glad to have in your back pocket.
