My Favorite Chicken Recipes

Happy Friday, friends! Today, in true round-up form, I wanted to share a handful of my very favorite chicken dishes! Hope you find a few that make your skirt fly up.

Unless you don’t wear skirts. And then…well, use your imagination.

Chicken Spaghetti. What can I say? It’s one of the most luscious comfort food casseroles on earth, and while it takes a little while to make, I often double up and make two (or even four if I’m feeling ornery!) and put the extras in the freezer. Marlboro Man loves it, the kids love it…and I more than love it. It says “home” to me.

Chicken Parmesan. At his request, I just made this for Bryce’s birthday dinner and was once again reminded (when I saw the empty plates afterward) of how delicious and crowd-pleasing this dang dish is.

Grilled Chicken and Pineapple Quesadillas. I first had them on vacation a few years ago, and I love them every bit as much now. The pineapple adds such deliciousness!

Or, if you want a more plain, pared-down approach, these basic Chicken Quesadillas I posted last week are always a winner winner chicken dinner.

Homemade Chicken and Noodles. Oh my gosh—yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. If I could dive right into a pot of anything right now, it would be this. Basically more like a chicken noodle stew than a soup, this has “comfort” written all over it. You will swoon over the wholesome goodness of this.

Cajun Chicken Pasta! A well-loved recipe on this website (and in my house!) for years. Lots of flavor, lots of awesomeness. I want this for breakfast right now.

Speaking of pasta…this Chicken Florentine Pasta is gorgeous and flavorful and so quick, you won’t even know you cooked anything. The hot pasta and chicken are combined with uncooked spinach and tomatoes…and before you know it, dinner’s on the table. It’s like magic! (Pssst. Sub kale if you’d prefer. It’s yummy, too!

I have three words for you. Are you ready? Brace yourself. Chicken. Pot. Pie. I’m purring just think about it.

Another popular one since I posted it a few months ago, these Chicken Enchiladas have received rave reviews. And I concur, sir! They are très yum.

Orange Chicken! For those times you want Chinese takeout food without ever leaving your house.

Chicken Scallopine. Oooooh! I haven’t made this in a long time. I shall remedy this as soon as possible! So creamy, dreamy, and wonderful.

Chicken Cacciatore. Colorful, flavorful…wonderful!

Yummmmmmm yum yum yum yum! Italian Chicken Soup is where it’s at!

And for a great, flavorful marinated chicken to throw on the grill: Pollo Asado. Serve it with beans, pico de gallo, rice, tortillas, etc. One of my faves!

I’ll stop there, lest I throw you into chicken overload. Hope you find a few new things to try!
