CHICKEN

Make That Chicken In Your Life More Exciting


If you are like most modern families today, you likely find yourself eating chicken at least once or twice a week for dinner. Heck, you might even have it for lunch several days of the week as well. And, why wouldn’t you? It’s a delicious, lean meat that’s absolutely chalked-full of good proteins, minerals, and nutrients. And, on top of this, it’s extremely economical. When you look at it, it should be easy to see why more and more people are opting for chicken. The only problem with this is, it can get a bit boring. A bit old! Well, it won’t if you incorporate it into
these recipes.

Chicken Piccata

Chicken Piccata can bring a plain old chicken to life. There will no longer be such a thing as boring chicken when you learn to make piccata, and that’s because you’ll always be able to revert back to it. Your taste buds will certainly thank you after the experience. That being said, this is a pan-fried chicken that’s cooked over lemon caper sauce and served alongside an entree of angel hair pasta or rice. Regardless, it offers a satisfying dish that can’t be beaten.

Hummus Crusted Chicken

Can you ever really go wrong with anything that’s crusted? And, it’ll only make things all that more exciting and interesting when you utilize hummus as a sauce. Especially if you never have before. The one-pot recipe can be whipped up in 10 minutes and only need 25 minutes of cook time, so you are literally looking at less than an hour to bring this beautiful and tasty dish to life. With delicious chicken and even healthier veggies, you won’t have to worry about eating healthy for the rest of the week.

Shredded Chicken

When most people think about chicken, they tend to think about breasts, cubes, nuggets, or some other formation. This is completely natural, as it is how most people serve and chicken. However, it is not the only way that you can consume your favorite meat. In fact, you can shred it with the shredded chicken in instant Pot recipe from Corrie Cooks. This shredded recipe coated in barbecue sauce can give similar shades and feelings to that of pulled pork.
Shred-it and stuff it inside fish or a pot pie for something entirely different. Whatever, you won’t go wrong with shredded chicken.

Bacon-Wrapped Cheese Mushroom Stuffed Chicken Breasts

Of course, there is nothing wrong with the traditional chicken breast when you do it upright. And, there is no better way to do it up right than with this recipe. And, it’s not at all unhealthy as it might sounds. Just look at all the pieces in the recipe that contain immense nutritional values. In fact, it’s only the bacon that’s a little bad for you. This one will likely take a bit of prep work and cook time, and there will be many recipes that you can follow. Just remember,
it can be easy to mess up in both the prepping and cooking processes. Make sure you find a good recipe and stick to it.
