But, that’s why I’ve pulled together this collection of delicious easy peasy chicken recipes. Simple, quick and family-friendly.

I like to think of myself as being a totally prepared person. But, in reality, I usually end up pulling together dinner at the last minute. This is why I love these chicken recipes. They don’t require specialty items. A well stocked pantry and a couple of pieces of chicken are all you need. Chicken pasta dishes, chicken stews, chicken stir fry, chicken casseroles, and more! Let’s go!!
