Chicken recipes -
the obvious choice for quick meals!



Chicken recipes are an obvious choice when you want a healthy and quick meal. Pound for pound, poultry has about half the fat of a lean cut of beef or pork. Chicken is relatively inexpensive, and there are many quick and easy chicken recipes.

Always keep food safety in mind when cooking chicken. Keep raw poultry away from other foods, and wash your hands after handling it. Don't return cooked food to a plate that was used to hold uncooked poultry.

Uncooked chicken can be safely stored in the refrigerator for one or two days. Cooked chicken can be refrigerated for three or four days. If you're not going to use the chicken within that time, put it in the freezer.

When I'm cooking chicken, I like to cook extra. I cube the extra meat, and store it in the freezer for use in chicken pot pie, chicken soup, or chicken casserole.

Even though it is more expensive, I prefer to buy organic free range chicken.

For years, whenever I was stuck for a quick meal, I would make chicken. However, I knew how to make only one kind! Fortunately for my family, that has all changed. I've discovered lots of healthy chicken recipes. Here are a few of my favorites.

I wanted to let you know that the Parmesan Chicken recipe was absolutely wonderful. My son had seconds and ate some the next day for leftovers. My four year old ate it without a fuss also!

Honey Curry Baked Chicken - the one I used for all those years! It's still one of my favourites.

It doesn't get any easier - or tastier - than Orange Chicken with Rosemary. Just mix a few ingredients together, pour them over the chicken, and pop it into the oven!

Another easy "pour and bake" recipe is Pineapple Chicken.

If you like fried chicken but don't want the grease, try Coconut Oven Fried Chicken. The coconut gives the chicken a nice texture and a wonderfully subtle flavour. This is a great substitute for take-out chicken.

Chicken with Garlic and Balsamic Vinegar is delicious!

Looking for an easy kid-friendly meal? Try Tangy Chicken Fingers.

Parmesan Chicken is one of my favorite recipes. The parmesan-crumb coating leaves the chicken moist and delicious.

When I just can't think what to make, I make my Mom's Chicken. We ate this a lot when I was a child. Now that I'm the mom, I understand why: it's easy to make, everyone likes it, and it always turns out!

For a nice change of pace, try this White Bean Chicken Chili. It's perfect for a cold snowy day.

For the ultimate in comfort food, try this delicious Chicken Pot Pie. It's easier to make than I thought it would be!

Chicken with Lime-Ginger Sauce is equally good hot and cold. It's a great choice for a summer picnic! So is Oven Fried Chicken.

If you have a crockpot, try Cajun Chicken and Shrimp and
Hearty Chicken Stroganoff. You'll find the recipes in my cookbooklet,
Complete Crockpot Meals.


Dear Ellen,
Thank you for such a wonderful gift. Your fortnightly recipes have given me many new things to try in my new oven, and my husband is keen for more wonderful food.
