Deep-fried, pan-fried, grilled… Simple chicken can be prepared in a variety of ways.
Chicken baked on bread
Katie roasts her chicken on thick slices of bread, which absorb the juices from the meat as it cooks. The bread is then toasted, leaving it soft and full of rich flavor.
Sweet and sour chicken sandwich
You can give store-bought rotisserie chicken a homemade twist by dressing it with Jeff Mauro's savory barbecue sauce. In just a few minutes, the vibrant flavors of soy sauce, hoisin, and chili blend with fresh ginger to create a fragrant dressing.
Grilled chicken thighs
In this quick recipe, the sweet and savory combination of honey, soy sauce, and apple cider vinegar serves two purposes: as a marinade and as a basting sauce during frying. If you don't want to grill the chicken thighs, you can brown them in a cast-iron skillet and then bake them in the oven.
Jerk Chicken
The essence of this classic recipe lies in the sweet and savory spice blend Jeff coats the chicken with. The key ingredients? Brown sugar, a pinch of cinnamon, and habanero pepper.
Nuggets and fries in a waffle cone
While these cones may look like a sweet treat, they're anything but dessert. Instead of vanilla ice cream, they're topped with smooth mashed potatoes and spicy fried shrimp.
Spaghetti squash stuffed with chicken, broccoli and cheese
For this great all-purpose dish, take pre-cooked chicken and pair it with a creamy cheese sauce, then bake it on spaghetti squash halves.
Chicken in batter
The secret to Katie Lee's amazing fried chicken is a marinade of buttermilk and a spicy sauce, in which the meat is soaked for several hours before frying. This not only infuses the chicken with flavor but also keeps it juicy.
Chili Chicken Breasts with Quinoa, Kale, and Brussels Sprouts Salad
Who says Brussels sprouts have to be cooked? Here, Marcela makes a salad with them, kale, and quinoa, served with chili-spiced chicken.
Pan-fried chicken breasts with tomato and olive sauce
After searing the chicken, use the same pan to make a simple sauce. Jeffrey uses briny olives, sweet shallots, and a little vinegar as a base, then adds tomatoes and garlic to the meat dressing.
Chicken cutlets
Only have 10 minutes and few ingredients? Believe it or not, that's all you need to make Katie's easy dinner.
Chicken Cordon Bleu
Chicken breasts with ham and cheese
The specialty of Sunny's breaded chicken is the stuffing. To make room for the stuffing, cut a "pocket" out of one side of the chicken breast, but don't cut all the way to the other side.
We recommend
Oven-baked chicken with bib lettuce and Provencal dressing
In Geoffrey's recipe, the juicy chicken serves two purposes. It's undoubtedly the base of the dish, and the fat from the roasting process is added to the Dijon mustard vinaigrette, adding a rich flavor.
Nashville Spicy Chicken Sandwich
In his version of the Nashville sandwich, Jeff uses his own approach to achieve the perfect amount of spice: first rubbing the chicken with cayenne pepper seasoning, then dipping it in a mixture of buttermilk and hot sauce before frying.
Chicken salad with cranberries and nuts on lettuce leaves
Sometimes a dish doesn't turn out quite right, and the chicken doesn't turn out quite as you'd hoped. But you can use it in Jeff Mauro's simple chicken salad recipe. He says, "It's a great way to use up dry or overcooked chicken breast."
Italian pasta salad with chicken
Save time in the kitchen by using store-bought rotisserie chicken to make Geoffrey Zakarian's easy-to-make pasta salad.
Pot pie - a closed chicken pie
Katie's excellent recipe sticks to tradition: tender chicken, a creamy vegetable sauce, and a crispy pastry topping.
Deep-fried chicken wings in beer barbecue sauce
Sunny Anderson's recipe uses dark beer as the base for a spicy, tangy barbecue sauce, to which a single chili pepper is added.
Chicken Stir-fry with Ramen Noodles
In Katie's quick recipe, a vibrant sauce made with grated ginger and honey serves as a dressing for ramen noodles, sliced vegetables, and juicy chicken.
Quick Chicken Soup with Cheese Tortellini
Lemon zest and juice add a bright twist to Jeff's simple chicken soup with cheese dumplings.
Grilled Sugar-Glazed Butterfly Chicken
It's best to add the butter, sugar, and mustard glaze to the chicken during the last few minutes of cooking. Adding it any sooner can cause the sugar to burn.
Smoked chicken wings with honey mustard barbecue sauce
The combination of honey and mustard is probably familiar. Jeff adds a bright touch of apple cider vinegar to this famous sauce and uses it to dress crispy chicken wings.
Chicken burger
Marcela guarantees these chicken burgers won't be bland. She mixes ground chicken with chopped onion and garlic and serves the patties with classic and creative toppings: aged cheese, pasilla mayo, and crispy poblano pepper rings.
An easy recipe for chicken parmesan
To keep the recipe as simple as possible, Sunny skips making her own tomato sauce and uses ready-made pizza sauce. It's served over breaded chicken breasts—pizza sauce often already contains aromatic herbs.
