10 Chicken Dinners
Dinner ideas for the week 🌞
Happy Sunday. I’m in your inbox with a collection of chicken recipes to inspire your dinner tonight and the rest of the week.
Lately, I’ve been in the habit of roasting split chicken breasts and chicken legs on Sunday. I’ll eat the chicken legs for dinner–usually with roasted potatoes or sweet potato purée–and save the breasts to use later in the week, either diced up in salads or served in a simple chicken wrap with oregano and tzatziki sauce. I thought I’d share a few of my favorite chicken recipes deep in my archives to celebrate my go-to protein choice
1. Chicken Katsu Udon Soup
Crisp fried chicken is paired with a light broth and plump udon for a meal that requires a bit of effort but rewards you with a delicious payoff.
2. Shawarma-Spiced Chicken Dinner
This shawarma-spiced chicken meal has three components: spiced chicken stewed with peppers and tomatoes, gorgeous, aromatic saffron rice, and a bright salad with a yogurt-parsley dressing.
3. Basil-Parmesan Chicken with Rice and Tomatoes
This recipe is one of those little numbers that can make any day of the week a little brighter.
4. Lemony Chicken Tomato Pasta
Zippy, spicy, and so comforting, this lemony chicken tomato pasta is a meal you'll want to keep on regular rotation.
5. Chicken with Rice and Zante Currants
The sweetness from Zante currants elevates this simple one-pot chicken and rice into an extra-special midweek meal.
6. Cheesy Chicken Tomato Pasta
I love this recipe because you get the cheesiness of chicken parm, but it’s lighter and not as decadent, meaning you can eat this, like, at least once a week if you want. The fried basil panko allows you to control how much “breading” you put on each dish.
7. Creamy Garlic Chicken with Mushrooms
Is there any better way to end the week than with a delicious creamy chicken recipe? How about creamy garlic chicken with mushrooms? OR, even better, creamy garlic chicken with mushrooms AND noodles? We think not!
8. One-Pot Chicken and Saffron Rice
This chicken and saffron rice recipe is a weeknight wonder meal. You need just one pot and a little bit of time, and before you know it, you’ll have a gorgeous dinner on the table.
9. Spicy Orange Chicken Recipe
I’ve always been a fan of orange chicken. It’s sweet and sticky, with crunchy chicken that just hits the spot. This spicy orange chicken recipe is my take on the classic Chinese-American dish.
10. Chicken Cacciatore Recipe
Not to toot my own horn, but a woman in my Pilates class made this recipe, and she told me she couldn’t get enough of this chicken cacciatore. I think you’ll love it as much as she did.
I think that’s all for today. I hope everyone has a wonderful week filled with lots of tasty food. If you make one of my recipes, please drop me a comment on the post or respond to this email to let me know what you think. I’d love to hear from you. Byeeeeeee! 💖
