Good morning friends!!! This morning I opened the fridge and realized we’re pretty low on everything and with the freezing icy rain happening outside, I am in no mood to venture out. Thankfully our freezer is not as empty but still, what to make with what we have? Yup, I was drawing a blank so I started peeking through the archives right here to give me some ideas. I sometimes forget what I’ve made and how much I loved some of those dishes! I decided to put together a roundup of 15+ Easy Chicken Recipes that are on the top of my list! Hope you give some of these a try and enjoy them as much as I do!
First up, my BBQ Chicken Pizza!
This one is so easy to make and the flavors are pretty awesome!!! I absolutely love the combo of the sweet and smoky BBQ sauce with the sweetness of the pineapple. Finished off with fresh cilantro…winner!!!

Cajun Chicken over Rice
This was my first attempt at a cajun inspired dish and I was thrilled with the results! Chicken, peppers and onions in a cajun cream sauce. So good!
***
Roasted Chicken Thighs with Potatoes, Peppers and Onions
Chicken thighs are a great budget friendly piece of meat and it doesn’t dry out nearly as easily as a chicken breast. A little prep to cut the veggies then onto a baking sheet or baking dish and roasted to juicy, golden perfection. Simple salad on the side to complete the meal!
***
Chicken, broccoli and cheddar is a pretty popular combination and for good reason; its delicious!!! This one is a great weeknight meal! Tender chicken and broccoli in a homemade cheddar sauce tossed with rice and baked until bubbly and golden.
***
Sautéed Chicken with Spinach and Roasted Peppers
This one came about as one of those, lets see what we have left in the fridge and throw something together. Such a simple recipe but the flavors just work! Lightly coated chicken, baby spinach and roasted peppers in a quick broth based sauce.

Slow Cooker Chicken Tikka Masala
Indian food is not something i’m very familiar with but when I came across a remeasured package of seasoning for Chicken Tikka Masala I figured lets give it a try! Its super easy with the use of a slow cooker and I really loved this dish!!! Its a great first Indian dish because the flavors are pretty mellow.

Salsa Chicken and Black Beans
This one could not be easier!!! Some shredded chicken I cooked in the slow cooker then tossed with salsa, fresh lime juice and cilantro! Yup, perfect weeknight meal!! Will take you no time to put together and no doubt it’ll become a go to meal! Don’t skip the beans here, they are phenomenal!!!

A great basic chicken marinade. This is one of my highest views recipe and its so simple but great flavor! Summer is coming and this needs to be on your try list! Tons of fresh herbs, lemon juice and olive oil… no boring grilled chicken here!

Bacon Wrapped BBQ Chicken
3 ingredients, thats it! Chicken breasts, turkey {or regular if you prefer} and your favorite BBQ sauce. Baked in the oven until that bacon is golden and crisp! These make for a great party appetizer too, just dice the chicken rather then the large strips I do here.

Yes, more lemon!!! This sauce is pretty kick a**! Its so incredibly simple but the flavors of the fresh tomato, basil, lemon and light cream over top a piece of grilled chicken! A favorite of mine!!!
