Every night, without fail, we find ourselves asking the same question: What’s for dinner? More often than not, we hope it’s chicken! Chicken in all its many forms—from breasts to thighs, or grilled to fried—has long been considered the dinner winner winner, and rightfully so. Unfortunately, that can mean falling into a dinner rut much too easily for our liking. If you’re like us and just can’t bear to make your (or your family’s) old standbys for the umpteenth time, we’ve got you. Get inspired with our list of our 93 best chicken dinner recipes—you’ll be sure to find a new weeknight favorite.
We’ve got something here for everyone, whether you’re looking for tried-and-true classics or creative recipes the whole family will love. If you’re only ordering dishes like chicken Parmesan, chicken tikka masala, or cashew chicken when you’re out at a restaurant, consider this your kick in the pants to try your hand at making them at home. We’ve tested our recipes over and over to make sure they’re easy to follow, and will result in chef-worthy dinners (even if you’re only a novice in the kitchen).
Looking for something more outside the box? Take flavor combinations you love, then turn ‘em into a chicken dinner. We’ve included our jalapeño popper chicken skillet, our maple mustard glazed chicken, our chicken shawarma bowls, our tequila lime chicken thighs, and more here to get your creative juices flowing. Got an idea, but not sure how to execute it? Let us know in the comments below, and we’ll see what we can do to help get you there.
With tailgate and back-to-school season quickly approaching, don’t forget about casseroles. Our enchilada casserole, our baked chicken spaghetti, and our tater tot chicken pot pie are great places to start, then check out our best chicken casseroles for even more ideas. Don’t worry, we’ve got tons of sides for chicken too, and all the fall salads and other side dishes you’ll need to serve alongside them.
delish!
