Easy Chicken Recipes

When you have chicken in your fridge and need to get dinner on the table fast, what are you making? These chicken dinners are all either made in the slow cooker, or come together in under an hour.

Whether you’re starting from scratch or working with leftover meat or a rotisserie chicken, we have a flavorful recipe for you!

quick & easy

Our Fave Kitchen Shortcut

While we love to cook from scratch, that’s not always practical for busy families. So we are all about using shortcuts when you need them. Our favorite kitchen shortcut? A rotisserie chicken. Ain’t no shame in our rotisserie chicken game!

Sometimes we eat the chicken as-is, but the magic really comes from turning it into any number of chicken dinners. Chicken salads, quesadillas, grain bowls, pastas, soups…you’ll never get bored!
