Chicken Recipes in Under 30 Minutes

These easy chicken recipes in under 30 minutes are perfect for a quick dinner on a busy weeknight!

From one-pan meals to burgers, one-pot pastas to healthy salads, you're sure to find some new recipes to add to your regular rotation.

Many of these recipes use boneless, skinless chicken breasts (though you could substitute chicken thighs if you prefer) while others use ground chicken and some rely on pre-cooked chicken, such as a rotisserie chicken from the store or leftover grilled or baked chicken.

Some favorites include chicken paprikash, quick chicken and gravy and easy turmeric chicken.
