Chicken Tenders
These chicken tenders pack a punch, thanks to a generous helping of a savory homemade spice blend, revved up with Cajun seasoning. A spoonful of mustard in the marinade helps the spices adhere, serves as a tenderizer, and lends a slight tanginess. Adding a bit of that marinade to the flour mixture helps create a crust that fries up shaggy and crackly. For a crispy exterior and juicy interior with less oil, this recipe calls for pan-frying rather than deep frying. Pair these tenders with your favorite dipping sauces, and they’re sure to be a hit.
Spicy Vinegar Chicken Over Artichokes
There’s something undeniably comforting about the combination of chicken and artichokes. Bone-in, skin-on drumsticks and thighs are seared until the skin is deeply golden, then gently braised with onions and garlic, plus a splash of white wine vinegar for brightness. The addition of green olives adds a briny punch, while canned artichokes — an underrated pantry staple — make this a complete meal. Unlike fresh artichokes, which require trimming and peeling, canned artichokes are ready to use and soak up the flavorful pan juices beautifully.
Pan-Seared Chicken With Mujdei Green Beans
Easy to make and deeply satisfying, mujdei is a cornerstone sauce in Romanian cuisine. Just a quick glance at the amount of garlic in the ingredient list explains its potency. Crushed fine and whisked with salt, oil and water, the garlic blend makes an evocative pairing for vegetables, seafood or meat. Here, it's a lovely coating for blistered green beans and avocado to eat with skillet brown chicken thighs. Whenever mujdei finds its way onto your fork, it will leave a nice light tingle on your lips.
Turmeric Chicken Skewers With Green Olive Yogurt
These skewers offer a simple yet delicious way to bring the bold flavors of Moroccan cuisine to your table using a handful of spices. But what truly sets this dish apart is the green olive yogurt sauce; the creamy, tangy addition ties everything together. Inspired by the way olives are paired with chicken in Moroccan tagines, this briny sauce balances the warm spices. It's perfect for gatherings but just as great for busy weeknights, and while grilling adds depth, a grill pan works beautifully, too. Serve with a simple tomato salad, roasted or grilled vegetables or flatbread.
Slow Cooker Hoisin Garlic Chicken
Best friends of cooks who are short on time but unwilling to sacrifice flavor, boneless, skinless chicken thighs are slow-cooked to tenderness with hoisin, garlic and tomato paste for an incredibly easy, saucy braised chicken that is subtly sweet and just a little spicy. Make a big pot on the weekend and use it all week for topping rice or noodles, or stuffing in tortillas. You could even shred the chicken more finely and tuck it into a bun with hot sauce, like pulled pork. The ingredients go straight into the slow cooker with hardly any prep at all, making it doable in the morning before work or school. The finishing step of reducing the sauce is necessary to create an appealingly glazed, sticky texture.
Chicken Arroz Rojo
This colorful and satisfying one-pot dish is a variation on classic arroz rojo and makes it a complete meal by adding juicy chicken thighs. Caramelized tomato paste and fresh tomato give the rice its signature reddish hue; the dish is studded with sweet golden corn and black beans for pops of vibrant color, flavor and texture. Tossing cubed boneless, skinless chicken pieces with fragrant oregano and cumin before cooking adds another dimension of flavor. Leftovers are wonderful tucked and rolled in flour tortillas for tasty burritos the next day; you can add scrambled eggs for a breakfast version.

Chicken Yakhni Pulao (Pakistani Chicken and Rice)
Pakistan’s original meat and rice dish for special occasions, yakhni pulao is the demure rival to the more lavish, layered and spiced chicken biryani. Unlike biryani, yakhni pulao is delicately spiced and the rice is cooked in a quick yakhni (broth) made from the bone-in chicken pieces, which get added back to the rice toward the end of the cooking process. Golden sautéed onions give the pulao its distinct earthy color, while aromatic peppercorns, cumin, cloves and cinnamon flavor the rice. Green chiles provide a kick and yogurt a bit of sourness. Serve with a hefty curry like kaddu with greens and shrimp, butter paneer or Kerala-style vegetable korma, or alongside dal like masoor dal, sabut masoor dal or chana masala, or by itself.
Berbere Brown Sugar Chicken
These smoky, slightly sweet chicken thighs are braised with orange juice, a touch of brown sugar and berbere spice, that warm, smoky and spicy blend that’s essential to Ethiopian and Eritrean cuisines. Roasted with savory onions and garlic, the chicken develops a rich, saucy base that’s packed with big flavor. The brown sugar mellows the heat of the berbere, creating a deliciously bold, barbecue-like sauce. To save some time in the kitchen, feel free to chop your onions and garlic while the chicken is searing. Enjoy this chicken recipe with roasted carrots and rice, polenta or grits, or shred and use as a filling for tacos.
Enchiladas Suizas (Creamy Chicken Enchiladas)
Enchiladas Suizas are sort of a lie. They are neither chile-laden nor from Switzerland. The name likely comes from using an abundance of cream and cheese in the recipe, which Mexicans associate with the alpine country due to its famous dairy production. These enchiladas, a combination of lightly fried corn tortillas filled with tender shredded chicken, bathed in velvety salsa verde and blanketed with melted cheese, were invented in the early 20th century at the famed Sanborns de los Azulejos, a Mexican café chain that turned the dish into a cultural icon throughout Mexico. That salsa verde? It is swirled into cream with a simple roux to keep the thickened salsa from separating and to tame any heat that you might expect from serrano chiles. For a weeknight-friendly version, shredded rotisserie chicken can save you some time.
Satay-Style Grilled Chicken Thighs
A familiar sight on many Thai menus in the U.S., chicken satay typically involves grilled skewers of marinated chicken, charred and stained with spices, and served with peanut sauce and perhaps a cucumber relish on the side. This recipe gives the dish a one-plate remix by bringing all the same flavors together, in slightly different proportions, and placing them atop rice. Because of its sugar and fat content, the coconut milk in the chicken marinade chars up beautifully on the grill, while the chile in the cucumber relish — served as an abundant garnish here — balances out the sweetness of the dressing. Replacing the traditional peanut sauce, chopped peanuts add pops of crunch. Get ahead by putting together the salad and marinade the day before and storing them in the fridge until you’re ready to make the chicken.
Keema Palak (Ground Chicken and Spinach Curry)
This comforting ground-chicken dish is layered with typical Desi spices: cumin, chile powder and garam masala. Finished with tender baby spinach, it has all the makings of a satisfying one-pot meal. In most keema (or ground-meat) curries from the Indian subcontinent, onions and meat are sautéed separately in two steps, but this recipe calls for cooking them together, along with ginger and garlic, a shortcut that saves time without sacrificing flavor. Spices and tomatoes follow, and a hefty amount of quick-cooking baby spinach is added toward the end, adding a mild earthiness that balances the bold spices. A splash of lemon juice adds freshness and brings everything together. Serve it with rice or roti for an easy, flavorful meal that comes together in 30 minutes.
Ranch Grilled Chicken
Rich and creamy, herbaceous and garlicky, homemade ranch dressing serves as a marinade for chicken that gets charred on the grill outside, or in your kitchen on a grill pan. To freshen things up, make a crunchy, lemony radish salad with the same herbs used in the dressing, bringing the flavors back full circle. You can use the radish greens too, but if they aren't in their tender prime, try another leaf like arugula or butter lettuce. For a starchy moment, serve this with grilled or fresh bread.
Lemon Turmeric Chicken Salad
Afghan murgh kebab (chicken kebab) and white sauce is a classic combination — the tangy, earthy sauce complements the turmeric-stained grilled chicken. Here, the two inspire a creamy, lemony chicken salad. Traditionally, Afghan white sauce is made with mayonnaise, milk, dried dill, vinegar and often MSG. A bit of Greek yogurt balances the richness of the mayo while maintaining a texture sturdy enough for a pita pocket. Fresh dill, sugar, salt and vinegar pay homage to the original seasonings, while the lemon zest, turmeric and garlic draw from the traditional murgh kebab marinade.
Grilled Honey-Mustard Chicken Thighs
Boneless, skinless chicken thighs are a great choice for grilling any night of the week: They take well to marinades, cook quickly and develop a nice crispy exterior without drying out. This crowd-pleasing recipe, inspired by classic honey-mustard sauce, starts with a simple but flavorful Dijon mustard marinade. Since marinades high in sugar can burn when chicken is grilled over high heat, this recipe calls to brush the chicken with a rich, sweet and savory three-ingredient glaze (honey, Worcestershire sauce and more mustard) as soon as it comes off the grill. For a little kick, add a few dashes of your favorite hot sauce to the glaze, and be sure to pass any leftover glaze around the table for dipping. Serve with grilled vegetables and a crowd-pleasing picnic side, such as pasta salad or potato salad.
