    Simple Chicken Recipes

    Affordable and easy available, chicken is a great protein to add to your meal planning bags of tricks. Whether you enjoy boneless chicken breast, bone-in pieces, or a whole bird, there are simple chicken recipes to suit every preference.

    Consider some of our favorites such as Sweet and Sour Pulled Chicken Sandwiches, Best Ever White Bean Chicken Chili or Tandoori Chicken.

    You can cook a whole chicken in the slow cooker, make chicken stock from the bones you might otherwise discard, and whip up a delicious Homemade Cream of Chicken Soup for Cooking. Your options are endless!
