Feel Like Chicken Tonight?
Indulge in a flavorful green curry casserole with chicken meatballs and fluffy rice, or whip up a quick stir-fry featuring crispy chicken and blistered green beans in a ginger-garlic sauce. For a more classic touch, try the braised chicken with baby potatoes bathed in a rich chive butter sauce. And for a lighter option, the creamy chicken orzo offers a surprisingly rich taste from the chicken stock, along with the familiar flavors of shredded chicken, carrots, celery, and herbs.
Let’s Add a *Little* Cream
Looking for creamy chicken dinners in a flash? Dive into a skillet filled with juicy chicken and rich tomato sauce, accented by vibrant kale and parmesan. For a lighter option, a creamy chicken soup awaits. If one-pot meals are your jam, try browning chicken alongside kale creamed with parmesan and warm spices, or opt for a Mediterranean twist with creamy pasta, tangy lemon, olives, and a luxurious sauce – all ready in just 30 minutes.
