30 Quick and Easy Chicken Recipes for Busy Weeknights, including one pot pastas, slow cooker recipes, and healthier versions of your favorite take out!
So, it’s Spring and life is crazy. Because life is always crazy, right?
It seems that it doesn’t matter what season we’re in, we always feel like life can’t possibly get any busier. Like we are maxed out. But then one thing ends and another begins and it just starts all over again.
And clearly we wouldn’t have it any other way because we just keep pushing through it. What saves me is having a good supply of quick and easy recipes on hand!
We love chicken (we really love pretty much everything). It’s so versatile and goes with so many different flavors! When I was scouring the web this month for some recipes to add to our menu, I figured I would compile an awesome list for you as well, because why not?
Oh, you mean you like spending 3 hours in the kitchen before dinner working your way through a recipe with 28 ingredients?
No. No you don’t.

Totally true, life is crazy… and sometimes I wonder if it will EVER slow down. I think it should be mandatory that people take a week vacation at least once every other month. How do we make that a thing… and still get paid of course? 😉 LOVING this round-up! One can NEVER have too many chicken recipes in their arsenal and all of these look delicious! I don’t know if it’s because it’s the first thing I saw, but your Oven Fried Chicken is SCREAMING my name! Crispy deliciousness right there! PINNED! Cheers, dear!
