Chicken Dinner Recipes

I have to say that I mostly cook with chicken so I have a ton of chicken recipe's. Here's just a few of my favorite. I can't wait to add some more to my collection. Thanks again Leah for starting this!


Rice Krispie Chicken
Melted margarine (start with 1/2 cube)
Crunched Rice Krispies (I fill half a ziploc bag, crush with rolling pin, then dump on plate)
boneless, skinless chicken breast or tenders (I use tenders)

Dip chicken in butter, roll in Rice Krispies, place on baking sheet, salt and pepper

Bake 350 for 35-45min, when chicken is cooked through.

Chicken Casserole
3 cups cooked, diced chicken
2 cans cream of chicken soup
1 can milk
1 box stove top stuffing mix (or I use Mrs. Cubbisons)

Spread cooked, diced chicken in bottom of pan. Mix soup & milk & pour over chicken. Mix dressing as directed on box. Then spread stuffing over chicken. Cover with foil & bake 300 for 45 min.

Chicken Pillows
1 cup cooked, diced chicken
1 )4oz) can drained mushrooms
Bread Crumbs (I like Italian flavor, but plain is great to)
1 (8oz) pkg softened cream cheese (I use 1/3 less fat)
3 pkg crescent rolls

Combine chicken, mushrooms and cream cheese. Spoon into crescent rolls (for smaller use 1 triangle, or squish 2 triangles together to make a square, fill and fold over). Dip in melted butter & roll in bread crumbs. Bake 400 for 20min.

Gravy- 1 can c/chicken, milk & 8oz sour cream. (I use light, or reduced fat)

Yogurt Chicken
1 pkg crushed Ritz crackers
3 Tbsp Parmesan Cheese
1 tsp Garlic Salt
Plain Yogurt
melted Butter/margarine

Dip chicken in plain yogurt. Mix Ritz Crackers, Parmesan Cheese and Garlic Salt. Then dip chicken into mixture. Place on foiled cookie sheet. Drizzle melted butter over the top. Bake 375 for 30min.

Cheesy Chicken
boneless skinless chicken breasts or tenders
2 cans of c/chicken soup
1/2 can milk
cheddar cheese slices

Place chicken in a baking pan. Pour mixture of soup & milk on top of chicken and around. Place cheddar cheese slices on top of chicken. Bake 350 for 30-40min.

Chicken Salad
1 bag frozen boneless, skinless chicken breasts or tenders: Cook chicken with onion and bay leaf for at least 2 hours. Cool and cut up.

1 bunch of celery, chopped thin

1 small onion, chopped thin

1 1/2 cups Mayo

1 1/2 cups Miracle Whip

1 small can of Cashews, chopped- ADD CASHEWS RIGHT BEFORE SERVING

Mix everything, but Cashews, and refrigerate. Best if you make the day before. If you find you need more moisture, add equal amounts of Mayo and Miracle Whip. Serve on croissants. Great for large get togethers.

Chicken Parmesan

1 Jar Spaghetti Sauce (26oz)
1/2 cup grated Parmesan Cheese
6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts or tenders
2 cups Mozzarella Cheese (grated)
1 lb spaghetti, linguini or any noodles- cooked as directed

Pour Spaghetti sauce in 9x13 pan. Add chicken, coating them in sauce. Cover with foil. Bake at 375 for 30 min. Remove from oven and remove foil. Stir in noodles, sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and Mozzarella cheese. Return to oven with NO foil, bake 30 more min.

Cheesy Crockpot Chicken

3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts OR 6-8 tenders
2 cans c/chicken soup
1 can cheddar cheese soup

Rinse chicken, sprinkle with salt, pepper & Garlic powder. Place in crockpot. Pour all soup onto chicken and mix chicken around in soup. Cook on low heat about 8 hours, don't lift lid. Serve over rice or noodles.
