It’s National Chicken Month, and I am working on adding some new recipes to my menu plan. Today’s focus is easy weeknight chicken recipes that will fill your plate & tummy, without spending a lot of time in the kitchen.
Generally I am a huge fan of my slow cooker, especially my recipe for 5 ingredient buffalo chicken cheesesteaks. But I wanted to add more easy chicken recipes that don’t require a lot of time or effort. Since my older son has returned to college, there are only 3 of us for dinner. I want fast & easy, and something that can be adjusted for a smaller family.
Easy Weeknight Chicken Recipes
- Mom Foodie shares a recipe for Keto Jalapeno Popper Chicken With Rice. Love that this recipe is healthy and a bit spicy. I bet I could make this and my family would never know it was good for them too!
- Queso Chicken from the Mom Maven is definitely one that will be making an appearance in our rotation. Love it.
- Daily DIY Life shares a recipe for Sweet & Spicy Chicken. I don’t think I would be able to share this recipe with the rest of the family.
- One Pot Spicy Chicken Stew from Recipes Just 4 U. Definitely a twist to an old favorite.
Did you know that chickens have a good sense of time? Chickens know when it is dinnertime and can become annoyed if the people that feed them are even a few minutes late? ~Source: StonePierPress.Org
I find that statement funny, yet ironic.
I have to admit, when the nights grow short, there is nothing like a good dish of comfort food that features chicken. I love that there are so many choices out there!

Need More Chicken Ideas?
This post originally started out with the idea that I was going to share only recipes that you make in the oven. But then other people started sharing ALL kinds of chicken recipes that weren’t in the oven. So I decided that I will just mix all the recipes together, and then start a second post in the future.
