    • Easy Chicken Dinner Recipes -->This collection of easy chicken dinner recipes features some of our favorite family dishes, perfect for making a healthy, delicious home cooked meal on a busy night! Getting a healthy, home cooked meal on the table every night can be challenging. Particularly with the demands of work, school, activities and social obligations, well, it can be the last thing we want to do at the end of the day. So I’ve got tons of easy chicken recipes at my disposal that I turn to when I need to whip something up for us on one of those busy weeknights. (Or even busy weekends – dinners can be tough then, too!) And this collection of easy chicken dinner recipes has some that we make over and over again.

      • Easy Chicken Recipes with Few IngredientsThese easy chicken recipes with few ingredients include some great healthy lunch and dinner options, all made with 5 or fewer ingredients! I am all about the EASY when it comes to cooking. I don’t like to fuss much over my food and I certainly don’t like to spend a ton of time in the kitchen at the end of a long day. Easy chicken dinner recipes and healthy lunch recipes with chicken are much more my style. (As are chicken recipes in under 30 minutes and, faster yet, chicken recipes in under 15 minutes. Cause life.) Speaking of life, a million trips to the grocery store also aren’t fun during a busy week. (Especially with little ones in tow!) So I’ve got these go-to easy chicken recipes with few ingredients that help me keep dinnertime simple. And my sanity intact. In fact, one of the first cookbooks I bought on my own, at a used bookstore in Washington, D.C., where I lived for a few years after college, was titled 3-ingredient recipes. I was pretty new to cooking and thought, I think I can handle that. My cooking skills have improved, but I still go for the simple chicken recipes…

From chicken skillet dinners to one-pot pastas, salads to burgers, you’re sure to find some new favorites! If you know me, you know I am ALL about the quick and easy recipes. I love making all of our homemade meals and home cooked dinners, but like you, I’ve also got a hundred other things to juggle and so keeping things simple in the kitchen is a must.

Busy weeknights have nothing on us! A few of our favorites from these quick chicken recipes: Healthy chicken Alfredo with broccoli Creamy chipotle chicken 20-minute chicken and tortellini soup with kale Skillet salsa chicken Easy creamy chicken This collection also has some healthy lunch recipes with chicken for mixing up your lunch routine. (It doesn’t include my slow cooker chicken recipes though, since those aren’t ready in 30 minutes. But they can be super quick to prep in the morning and then…
        • Chicken Recipes in Under 15 MinutesThese easy chicken recipes in under 15 minutes are perfect for dinner on a busy weeknight!

        • Chicken Recipes in Under 30 MinutesThese easy chicken recipes in under 30 minutes are perfect for dinner on a busy weeknight! From one-pan meals to burgers, one-pot pastas to healthy salads, you’re sure to find some new favorites! Quick, easy and mostly healthy is pretty much the name of the game for dinner at my house. I love a home cooked meal and we eat a ton of chicken, which means I’ve come up with and found a lot of easy chicken recipes over the years. And this collection highlights some of my easy chicken recipes in under 30 minutes, when you want something delicious but need it on the table pretty quickly. Is that every single night for you too? We’ve got everything from skillet chicken dishes to chicken pasta and from soups and salads with chicken to chicken meatballs and burgers. All the chicken love! 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 you pick up at the store or some leftover grilled or baked chicken. Lots of these 30 minute chicken dinners are complete meals but…
      • Healthy One-Pot Chicken DinnersHealthy one-pot chicken dinners are such a help on busy days! This collection includes everything from one-pot pastas and skillets to easy slow cooker and sheet pan recipes to help you get an easy, healthy and delicious dinner on the table any night! I am ALL about quick and easy meals. I cook our dinner 99% of the time, including on days when work has blown up in my face, or the kids have decided to coordinate their melt-downs, or we’re all just wiped out and hungry. And even though I love to cook, I definitely have those days when I’m just not feeling it. Enter some quick and easy one-pot chicken dinners for the win! These are great to have in your back pocket for busy days, busy weeks or in case of a “kids-are-making-me-crazy” kinda moment. (My husband also loves these meals because he’s on clean-up duty and it’s nice not to have a huge pile of dishes staring you down after dinner!) Many of these dishes are complete meals on their own. Others are low-carb as written, but can easily be paired with some rice, pasta, bread or potatoes to bulk them up a bit. Here are…
      • Slow Cooker Chicken RecipesThese hands-off slow cooker chicken recipes will put your slow cooker to work and have you coming home to a delicious, healthy dinner that’s ready to go! Some days, you just need someone else to make you dinner. I’m not talking takeout or delivery or a restaurant dinner. I’m talking about your crock pot or slow cooker. I find it supremely satisfying to go about my day, knowing that a delicious home cooked dinner is cooking up at home for me. I can play with the kids, take them to practices, run errands or just relax with a book and breathe easy. These slow cooker chicken recipes mean there is just one less thing to do in the evening and that’s a great thing on a busy day! This collection includes slow cooker recipes for boneless, skinless chicken breasts as well as chicken thighs (though you can usually sub either one). And many of these take just minutes to prep in the morning! 👍 Here’s a few of our favorite slow cooker chicken recipes: Slow cooker balsamic chicken Slow cooker bistro chicken thighs Slow cooker apricot chicken Crock pot Mediterranean chicken Slow cooker teriyaki chicken And be sure to check…
    • Easy Vegetarian RecipesEasy vegetarian recipes include main-dish meals that are hearty and satisfying and can stand alone for lunch or dinner (with a few savory breakfast options as well). Everything from one-pot veggie pastas to stuffed squash to chili to veggie burgers and hearty grain bowls and salads, there are meatless options here for everyone! I am a veggie lover through and through. 💚💚💚 I adore getting in as many vegetables as I can, throughout the day really, and I often make easy vegetarian dinners a couple of times a week. (Hello meatless Monday, I’m looking at you!) So over the years, I’ve created tons of great veggie-based meals that can stand on their own for lunch or dinner and be hearty and satisfying. And that are also mostly quick and easy, because I work as a health and nutrition editor and we’ve got a busy family so cooking on a weeknight needs to be low-key. My one-pot vegetarian spaghetti has been a hugely popular recipe here on the blog and you guys can’t seem to get enough of my grain bowls and salads. I know the feeling. 😉 I wanted to round up some of these in an easy-to-browse category that features…
    • Healthy Oatmeal RecipesA collection of healthy oatmeal recipes, including sweet and savory breakfast and brunch options as well as delicious, wholesome snacks and desserts. We are pretty much oatmeal fanatics in my house. ALL of us adore oatmeal and it’s a rare day that we’re not making or eating something with oats or oatmeal in it at some point during the day. And I mean all four of us – my husband, myself and our kids (currently ages 6 and 4). Our go-to 3-minute microwave oatmeal is a morning staple for my husband and a weekly staple for the kids and me. My kids eat overnight oatmeal jars at least twice a week for breakfast and we often have baked oatmeal another morning of the week. For school lunches or afternoon snack, we can be found munching on some no-bake cookie or energy balls with oats, oatmeal cookies of some variety or if they’ve asked nicely, I’ll make a batch of granola and we all just shovel handful after handful until it’s gone. Want to know some of our very favorites of the group below? OK, I’ll share! Our family’s favorite healthy oatmeal recipes: Healthy chocolate chip muffins Overnight oatmeal jars, 3…

Coconut lime grilled chicken marinade

Coconut lime grilled chicken marinade is an easy way to infuse delicious flavor into your regular grilled chicken routine!Coconut lime grilled chicken marinade is an easy way to infuse delicious flavor into your regular grilled chicken routine! #marinade #grilledchicken #grilling

Well hello there Monday morning, how did you get here so fast?

We are in transition mode here this week. Last week of preschool and kindergarten this week and then the kiddos are off for the summer. They’ll be at camps most weeks since I’m working, but we’re sure to have plenty of afternoons in the sun, too. 🌞🕶👙

And sure to have plenty of nights eating dinner from the grill! So today I’m sharing with you a family recipe that’s perfect for kicking your grilled chicken up a notch!

This  recipe has been passed around for quite a while now…

I remember, years ago, being at my grandmother’s house. We called her Jamma and she lived in Eastern N.C., where my mom grew up.

The whole family was there, except for Jamma. We’d all gone down for her funeral and were spending time together at her house afterwards.

It seemed so strange to smell her, to be among her things, to see her knick knacks that I was so familiar with, and to not have her with us anymore.

An easy coconut lime marinade for grilled chicken in a large blue bowl

But it also felt so good to have the rest of the family there to remember her, to tell stories, to share laughs together. To cry together, too.

At some point in the conversation, my Aunt Edith mentioned, as a side note, a handmade cookbook she had put together for my two older cousins, when they’d gotten married.

It was a collection of some of her favorite recipes that were perfect for a new wife just learning her way around the kitchen.

That was me then. I’d just been married only a few months and was still learning my way around the kitchen.

Grilled chicken marinaded in a coconut lime marinade and served on a white platter

She sent me a copy later and I’ve been cooking from it ever since. (Easy microwave baked brie, slow roasted cherry tomatoes and quick crab dip all came from her.)

This coconut lime grilled chicken marinade is one of those recipes. (She actually included several marinades in that cookbook — they love to grill! — so I’ll be sure to keep bringing them to you!)

To be perfectly honest with you though, I’m not really a huge coconut fan. I never quite got on the coconut water or coconut milk or coconut oil bandwagon. I use them all here and there, but coconut is not a go-to flavor for me.

So the first time I made this recipe, I was a bit hesitant, wondering if the coconut flavor would be really strong and we wouldn’t like it. (My husband’s also so-so on the coconut love.)

But no.

The coconut here is faint. It just barely infuses the meat, giving it a little more richness and blending so beautifully with the lime and cilantro, the red curry paste and the slight heat from the red pepper flakes.

So well balanced!

I should have known! My Aunt Edith has never steered me wrong!

Notes on coconut lime grilled chicken marinade:

  • I used boneless, skinless chicken thighs here but you could certainly use boneless, skinless chicken breasts. Just keep an eye on them and remove when they are cooked through (when they have reached about 160-165 on a meat thermometer).
  • This recipe makes enough for about 2 pounds of chicken. Adjust as needed.
  • You can find red curry paste in a small jar in the international aisle of your grocery store. Or order it online.
  • You’ll want to marinate this for a minimum of 30 minutes. I think 1-2 hours is a good goal. And if you want to put this together in the morning, before work, that’s fine too.

Finally, I highly recommend you reserve about 1/4 cup of the marinade to baste on while the chicken is cooking and to drizzle over at the end.

It really helps bring home the flavors and keep it extra juicy and tasty! Just be careful to separate it out before you marinate the chicken to avoid cross contamination.

I hope your grilling season is in full swing and that this coconut lime grilled chicken can be a new favorite, from my family to yours!

XO,

Kathryn

Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 12 minutes
Total Time 22 minutes

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs (or substitute breasts)

For the coconut lime marinade:

  • 1 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 2/3 cup coconut milk (regular or low-fat)
  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 lime, zested and juiced
  • 1 tablespoon red curry paste
  • 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

Instructions

  1. Combine all of the marinade ingredients in a small bowl. Remove and reserve 1/4 cup of the marinade for later.
  2. Place chicken in a large plastic bag and add remaining marinade. Coat the chicken in the marinade then close the bag and let sit for at least 30 minutes. Better yet, refrigerate and marinate for 1-2 hours or up to 6-8 hours.
  3. Remove chicken from refrigerator at least 30 minutes before grilling.
  4. Preheat grill to medium heat.
  5. Add marinated chicken to grill and cook over medium heat for 5-7 minutes per side, until cooked through. (Timing will depend on which cut of chicken you use and its thickness.)
  6. Let the chicken rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing. Serve with reserved marinade drizzled over the chicken.

Notes

I used boneless, skinless chicken thighs here but you could certainly use boneless, skinless chicken breasts. Just keep an eye on them and remove when they are cooked through (when they have reached about 160-165 on a meat thermometer).

This recipe makes enough for about 2 pounds of chicken. Adjust as needed.

    Grandmothers are the best, right? And why is it that all of them were, like, the BEST cooks ever? Must have been their generation. It’s so sweet that you are sharing another one of the recipes from that family cookbook! And a delicious one at that! I happen to love coconut anything, so I know I’ll love this! Plus that lime? Such a winning combination, especially for summer! Pinned! Cheers, doll! Xoxo
    P.s. when my grandmother passed it was very similar.. strange to be around her things without her, but so wonderful to all be together, share our memories of her and celebrate her life. Hugs, friend!

    Love that you used boneless skinless thighs here – my personal fave! And how awesome to have a recipe passed down (those are definitely the BEST). I happen to love coconut. There was a time when I didn’t, however, like coconut water and now I drink it on the regular. I actually add a slash to plain ol’ ice water. You should give it a try! Honestly, it is really refreshing and just a touch of coconut flavour makes all the difference. Pinning this yummy recipe and it will be on the menu this summer. I’m sure your grandma would be proud! XOXO

          Hi Ginny, I’ve never tried this in the slow cooker, but you could certainly give it a go! I find chicken thighs do a little better than breasts when slow cooking, in case that helps.

    Did you use canned coconut milk or the carton in refrigerated section? I am marinating my chicken now but the marinade doesn’t look quite like yours- it’s more creamy and yours looks more oil/watery. I used canned milk.

    Hi new here but trying this recipe on b/s chicken breast. Grilled on George Forman so couldn’t set temperature so watched closely. Excellent marinated about 3 hours. Taste it wonderful I subed parsley instead of cilantro. Otherwise everything else was the same. I’m on paleo/keto diet so recipes like this are appropriated.

    This marinade recipe looks so good! Do you think I could use it with salmon (in the oven) instead?

      Thanks Erica! Yes, I think you could use this to flavor up some baked salmon. Just be careful about letting the fish sit too long in the marinade before you cook it, as citrus can start to cook fish by itself. Would love to hear if you try it!
