Chicken Dinners

Easy chicken dinners for every night of the week: skillet chicken, baked chicken, creamy chicken pasta, chicken tacos and more, most ready in about 30 minutes.
Chicken is the dinner most families make again and again, so it helps to have plenty of ideas. These recipes use breasts, thighs, drumsticks, ground chicken and rotisserie chicken, with simple sauces and seasonings you probably already have in the pantry.
You’ll find creamy garlic chicken, honey mustard chicken, chicken stir fry, chicken enchiladas, lemon pepper chicken, chicken fajitas and comforting chicken soups. Every recipe tells you which cut works best, how long to cook it, and how to tell when it’s done so it stays juicy instead of dry.
Tip: thighs are more forgiving than breasts and stay tender even if you cook them a few minutes too long. Always cook chicken to 165°F. Every recipe lists calories, protein, carbs and fat per serving. Looking for more one-pan ideas? Browse Sheet Pan Dinners and Air Fryer Dinners.
