When I want to make chicken for dinner, these are the recipes I always reach for. They’re simple, reliable, and perfect for busy nights. Some of my recipes use chicken breasts, some use shredded or rotisserie chicken, and a few use ground chicken. Every recipe is easy to make, full of flavour, and one I cook again and again.
Instant Pot Chicken Tikka Masala
This is my easy, high-protein chicken tikka masala. The sauce is rich and creamy, the chicken stays tender, and the whole meal cooks fast in the Instant Pot. It’s my go-to when I want something comforting with very little effort.
Baked Orange Chicken
This is my easy baked orange chicken that tastes just like takeout but lighter and simpler. The chicken bakes until crisp, then gets coated in a sweet, tangy orange glaze that takes minutes to mix. It’s quick, comforting, and perfect with rice and broccoli.
Balsamic Chicken Breasts
A simple sheet-pan meal I make when I want no mess. The balsamic adds a deep sweetness, and the chicken, sweet potatoes, and broccoli roast together. It’s easy, filling, and reliable.
Orange-Cranberry Bone-In Chicken Breasts
Perfect for autumn evenings. The orange and cranberry cook into a warm, sweet-tart sauce, and the chicken stays juicy. I make this when I want something cosy with little work.
Caprese Chicken Breasts
One of my favourite fresh-tasting meals. The mozzarella melts into the tomatoes, the chicken cooks fast, and the balsamic glaze gives it a sweet finish. I make it when I’m craving Caprese flavours.
Rosemary Lemon Chicken Thighs
These rosemary lemon chicken thighs are one of my easy weeknight meals. The lemon and rosemary add great flavour, and the chicken always stays tender.
Baked Caprese Chicken Thighs
These skillet chicken thighs are fresh, simple, and full of flavour. The tomatoes soften in the pan, the mozzarella melts on top, and the chicken stays juicy. It’s an easy weeknight meal I make when I want something light but satisfying.
