We eat a lot of chicken in our house especially right now when the cost of chicken is so substantially less than beef and other meats. It can get a little boring though so we like to have a lot of recipes on hand to change it up often. We’re busy all the time though so those recipes usually need to be quick and easy to make. Here are some of our favorite quick easy chicken recipes that don’t skimp on the flavor. Check just on the link to go to the blog for the full recipe.
10 Quick Easy Chicken Recipes:
Grilled Chicken Breast with Pineapple Mango Salsa
It doesn’t matter that it’s less than 20 degrees outside and we’ve gotten 8″ of fresh snow in the last 24 hours, firing up the grill for this recipe is worth it! This Grilled Chicken Breast with Pineapple Mango Salsa from Mama of 3 Munchkins is amazing!
Slow Cooker Whole Chicken
Cooking chicken doesn’t get much easier than this whole chicken in the slow cooker. I love that it makes a great meal the day of and great leftovers for meals the rest of the week. You’ll love how easy Southern Krazed makes it to make this chicken. While the cooking wait time is not exactly quick it is not active cooking so it can just be ready when you get home!

My husband is a sucker for anything Buffalo Chicken and this sub from This Mama Loves is right up his alley. It’s a perfect way to use up some of that left over slow cooker chicken too! And talk about easy?

Easy and Simple Seasoned Chicken Taco Meat Recipe
We love to make taco meat with chicken and there really is no easier way to do it than with this recipe. Just throw the chicken breast into the slow cooker with some taco seasoning and 1/4 cup of chicken broth. It should take around 4 hours on high and 6 hours on low. Check internal temperature with a meat thermometer to ensure it has reached 165 degrees F and then it is done! Shred it with a fork and put into tortillas.
Lemon Pepper Poached Chicken
Poaching chicken is one of my favorite ways to cook it. It’s quick and easy and the chicken is always juicy and flavorful. You can use so many different liquids to flavor the chicken like this Lemon Pepper recipe from Premeditated Leftovers.
Red Pepper Pesto Chicken Sandwich
This recipe is easy and delicious. You can grill the chicken outdoors or in a pan indoors. You can whip up the pesto yourself in just a few minutes or use store bought- same with the roasted red peppers.
Easy Chicken Parm
I’ve always been afraid to make Chicken Parm. I have a friend who comes from an Italian family and her cooking is out of this world! I have had her Chicken Parm and I think that there is no way I can cook like that but this Easy Chicken Parm recipe from This Mama Loves makes Chicken Parm look much less intimidating to me.
