Easy Chicken Recipes

When you have chicken in your fridge and need to get dinner on the table fast, what are you making? These chicken dinners are all either made in the slow cooker, or come together in under an hour.

Whether you’re starting from scratch or working with leftover meat or a rotisserie chicken, we have a flavorful recipe for you!

My Favorite Cooking Shortcut

While we love to cook from scratch, that’s not always practical for busy families. So we are all about using shortcuts when you need them. Our favorite kitchen shortcut? A rotisserie chicken. Ain’t no shame in our rotisserie chicken game!

Sometimes we eat the chicken as-is, but the magic really comes from turning it into any number of chicken dinners. Chicken salads, quesadillas, grain bowls, pastas, soups…you’ll never get bored!

Learn more about how to choose the best rotisserie chicken, and our favorite recipes to use it, here.

Fan Favorite Chicken Dinners Include:

  • Baked Sticky Chicken Legs are loved by both kids and grown-ups, and are ready in 40 minutes.
  • Easy Chicken Quesadillas make the whole family happy because the filling is 100% customizable. Plus, we give you the secrets to perfectly cooked quesadillas.
  • Fall Apart Slow Cooker Chicken is what we make to eat as-is, or use like a rotisserie chicken.
  • Chicken Taco Salad in a Jar is a great lunch-packing hack, but we also like this filling, flavor-packed salad for dinner!
  • Chicken Spinach Alfredo Pizza is perfect for when you need a change up from the usual tomato-based pizza sauce.

Happy cooking!
