Spicy Oven-Fried Chicken
In this oven version of fried chicken, the chicken is coated first with a sweet and spicy buttermilk mixture and then dredged in seasoned flour. Brimming with spice, this dish is the perfect mix of sweet and spice. Enjoy with a fresh spinach salad.
Apricot-Lemon Roast Chicken
This mouthwatering dish uses pureed apricots, garlic, and rosemary as the under-skin seasoning mixture of the chicken. Filled with zesty flavor, this dish is perfect for a warm day. Pair with a quinoa salad for a tasty meal.
Chicken & Roasted Root Vegetables
When roasted, root vegetables, such as carrots, parsnips, and potatoes, have the perfect combination of crunch and flavor. Combining these vegetables with a roasted chicken, heightens the delicious flavor while providing protein. Enjoy with a green salad topped with avocado.
Simple Broiled Chicken
Simple yet tasty, this classic broiled chicken is filled with flavor. For a spicy flare, add chutney or salsa. Serve with brown rice and a side of broccoli for a complete meal.
Tandoori-Style Chicken with Banana Raita
This Indian-inspired dish uses yogurt as its main ingredient for the chicken and the raita. In any tandoori dish, spiced yogurt is used as a marinade and coating mixture for food to be baked (traditionally in a hot clay oven called a tandoor). Enjoy with wild rice.
Spice-Rubbed Chicken
To protect the chicken from the direct heat of broiling, leave the skin on, and then remove it before eating. For this reason, the spice mixture is rubbed under, rather than on, the chicken skin. Once cooked, add a squeeze of lemon or top off with a tomato salsa. Enjoy with wild rice and broccoli for a complete meal.
Chicken Fajitas for a Crowd
For a veggie-loaded twist on a classic Mexican dish, make the bell peppers, red onions, lettuce, and salsa the main focus, with grilled chicken as the 'condiment'. Any time you can shift the balance in a meal in favor of lots of colorful vegetables, the better off you’ll be.
Sweet & Spicy Maple-Broiled Chicken
A mixture of pineapple juice, maple syrup, and soy sauce seasoned with ginger and cayenne makes a simple basting sauce but with complex flavors. For a more decadent flavor, use grade B maple syrup, as it adds the perfect amount of taste. Enjoy with red cabbage coleslaw and brown rice.
Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo
For a healthier twist on the classic fettuccine Alfredo, add chicken and peas to make this a one-dish meal instead of an Italian pasta course. The addition of peas greatly reduces the fat content compared with the traditional version.
