Slow Cooker Chicken Thighs in Easy Chicken Recipes,Searing the chicken thighs may seem like an annoying step, but trust us, it's worth it. Not only does it get the chicken skin nice and crispy (because it does lose some crispiness in the slow cooker), but it also caramelizes the fat, adding a ton more flavor. If you don't want to do it, that's totally fine. You can just throw the chicken in the slow cooker. The sauce, you'll be happy to know, doesn't need any precooking. It just gets poured right in and forgotten about until dinner time.
Slow Cooker Chicken Thighs
Crock Pot Chicken and Dumplings in Easy Chicken Recipes,Is there anything more comforting than chicken & dumplings? The answer is nope! Crock Pot Chicken and Dumplings is one of the easiest recipes. It just needs two points: you lay boneless skinless chicken breasts over a bed of onion in your slow cooker, then pour cream of chicken soup and chicken broth on top. Once the chicken is cooked, it's time to add the vegetables and biscuits. In addition, We can use refrigerated canned biscuits here for convenience, but we can only imagine what this recipe would taste like with our perfect flaky biscuits.
Crock Pot Chicken and Dumplings
Slow Cooker Balsamic Chicken in Easy Chicken Recipes,Let the crockpot do all of the work in the easiest dish of all time. Simply throw everything in with 5 min prep. That’s it! I promise you. It’s really 5 minutes – there’s no searing or sautéing here. Simply throw in your seasoned chicken into the slow cooker and stir in that balsamic goodness. Done. Now the recipe calls for boneless skinless chicken breasts but you can easily substitute bone-in, skin-on chicken breasts (or thighs) to suit your preferences. Either way, you just can’t go wrong with this garlicky, sweet and savory blend of flavors!
Slow Cooker Balsamic Chicken
Air Fryer Chicken Breast in Easy Chicken Recipes,When it comes to chicken, we typically like roasting chicken thighs because they stay so juicy and get extra crispy. Chicken breasts have a terrible reputation for drying out, but an air fryer keeps that from happening. The quick cook time means they stay nice and tender and the breading still gets extra crispy. All without a drop of oil. It's an actual miracle.
Air Fryer Chicken Breast

It’s like a pasta version of chicken marsala and quite possibly one of the most delicious pasta dishes I’ve had.

Crock Pot Chicken and Broccoli in Easy Chicken Recipes,Beef & broccoli is one of our favorite takeout dishes, so when we want a lighter take on it, we swap out the beef for boneless skinless chicken breasts. The sauce, made simply with soy sauce, sesame oil, and ginger, is one you will turn to again and again again.

Crispy and Juicy Fried Chicken in Easy Chicken Recipes,Let me walk you through the pleasure of eating this crispy, juicy fried chicken: You’ve got this glistening drumstick with a coating so full of crunchy ripples that it is hard to determine where to hold on. You decide fingertips are best for maneuvering this chicken from the plate to your mouth. As you bring it closer you can smell the spices — garlic, onion, pepper, and even the smoky paprika. That first bite is a real stunner. As you dig in, the crust cracks audibly and reveals juicy chicken that is as flavorful as that irresistible crust. You’ll taste the herbs that made that chicken so fragrant and enjoy a mouthful that is equal parts crispy and juicy. Pieces of the crispy coating fall away.
Crispy and Juicy Fried Chicken
Healthy Chicken Alfredo in Easy Chicken Recipes,A rich and creamy chicken alfredo that’s super healthy! Quick and easy to throw together, this healthy chicken alfredo uses a dairy-free cashew alfredo sauce and spaghetti squash “noodles.” Paleo and Whole30. How to make healthy chicken alfredo？ It’s a little too easy. Heat avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and season both sides of chicken liberally with salt and freshly cracked black pepper. Add chicken breasts to skillet and cook 8-9 minutes total for medium chicken breasts and 9-10 minutes total for large chicken breasts, flipping once midway. Once they’re cooked through, transfer the chicken breasts to a cutting board or plate and let rest 5 minutes. Meanwhile, make your healthy and dairy-free alfredo sauce! Combine all the alfredo ingredients in a high-speed blender and process until totally smooth. If your blender heats its contents, great! Just process until it’s hot, and you’re set. If your blender does not heat up its contents, transfer the alfredo sauce to a saucepan after it’s completely smooth and heats through over medium-low heat. After chicken has rested 5 minutes, slice against the grain. Heat your prepared spaghetti squash through then top with alfredo sauce and sliced chicken. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and more freshly cracked black pepper.

You then make a delicious pan sauce using lemon juice and capers.
Delicious Chicken Piccata
Simple Chicken Marsala Pasta in Easy Chicken Recipes,This dish is very simple to prepare, and you probably have the ingredients in your pantry already. You might not have marsala wine, but you should consider adding a bottle to your pantry. I love the flavor of marsala in both sweet and savory Italian dishes. It is classic, the smell is incredible when this is simmering on the stove. Chicken Marsala is something that I usually save to order in a restaurant because it can be a pain to make, but making it into a quick pasta is the best of both worlds. Everything I love about chicken marsala, but far less clean up than making the traditional version. Perfect for a weeknight meal.
