Chicken breast is that thing we all keep buying – because it’s lean, affordable, and always on sale – but then it sits in the fridge while we wonder what on earth to do with it. If you’re tired of dry, bland, or boring chicken, this collection is for you.
These 10 dinners are proof that chicken breast doesn’t have to be a sad, chewy afterthought. We’ve got Creamy Garlic Chicken that feels like restaurant food, Crispy Sweet Chilli Chicken for a fakeaway night, and a One-pan Chicken and Broccoli Lasagne that’s total comfort food (with no layering!). You’ll also find Quick Chicken Chow Mein, Cheesy Chicken Enchiladas, and Baked Garlic Chicken Breasts that are shockingly juicy. Whether it’s pasta, rice, wraps, or gravy-soaked mash, there’s something here for every night of the week – and zero chance of chicken regret.
