Chicken! Chicken the go to poultry of choice in most households. Trying to figure out what to make everyday can sometimes be difficult. These days, it has become more and more common to plan meals for the week. I have received some requests to help with different flavors for chicken that is versatile and can go with pretty much anything.
These are just a few different flavors you can try out with sandwiches, salads, wraps or just by itself with a side dish. You can use whatever chicken of choice like chicken breasts, thighs, bone-in or out, cubed, chicken tenders and any other chicken cut of choice.
These recipes are just to give you a choice of spices and flavors to mix up your chicken recipes! Don’t be afraid to explore new flavors or maybe add in an ingredient or two that you may think will enhance any of these flavors!
