    • 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…
      • Quick Chicken RecipesThis collection of quick chicken recipes features some of our favorite family dinners and go-to lunches, all ready in 30 minutes or less! 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. And these quick chicken recipes include all of my chicken recipes in under 30 minutes and, even faster, chicken recipes in under 15 minutes. Sanity savers for sure. 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! From one-pot wonders to salads, chicken skillets to tacos, you’re sure to find some new fast favorites! You know those nights when you walk in the door and need dinner pronto?! Like, 5 minutes ago? That’s when I turn to these quick and easy chicken recipes in under 15 minutes. I can make a healthy, home cooked meal for my family and be sitting down to enjoy it in no time. Cause plenty of evenings, 15 minutes is often all the time I have – or want to spend – on dinner. I’m not alone on that, right?! You can browse below but I thought I’d highlight a couple that I make over and over again. A few of our favorite easy chicken recipes in under 15 minutes: 15-minute honey garlic chicken (gets rave reviews!) Southwest chicken skillet dinner (pile on your favorite toppings!) Quick chicken curry (perfect with rice and peas) One-pot low-carb leftover chicken recipe with spinach (my dad’s go-to recipe) This collection also includes some healthy lunch options that are quick to put together — like the Asian chicken mason jar…
        • 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…
    • Healthy Muffin RecipesA collection of easy, kid-friendly healthy muffin recipes for all times of day: breakfast, school lunch, snacking, dinner and dessert!

Spinach banana mini muffins and whole wheat pumpkin muffins are some of our constant favorites. Healthy peanut butter and jelly muffins are fun for lunch and easy cheesy cornbread muffins are great for a quick + easy dinner side, especially with soup or chili! And if you’re in the mood for a little chocolate (I know I always am!) you can’t go wrong with my healthy chocolate chip muffins. Hope you find some new favorite healthy muffin recipes! XO, Kathryn
    • Healthy DessertsThis collection of healthy desserts features everything from lightened up cookie bars and brownies to cakes, muffins and breads to no-bake energy bites. It’s the perfect way to satisfy your sweet tooth while staying on track with healthy choices! Healthy desserts are kind-of my jam. I like a dessert that gives back. One that has redeeming qualities.

I get excited for all the apple baking projects, pumpkin baking projects and even getting ready for all the holiday baking to come! 🍎🎃 The spices, the warmth, the aroma of having something in the oven is just part of the season for me.

Flavorful, easy, bright lemon pepper chicken that you can make in the slow cooker or on the stove with just 5 ingredients, plus 5 ways to serve it!Flavorful, easy, bright lemon-pepper chicken you can make in the slow cooker or on the stove, plus 6 ways to serve it! #chickenrecipes #chickendinner #dinnerideas #crockpot #slowcooker

Today’s recipe is all about options!

Options on how to cook it — hands-off and in the slow cooker or super quick and ready to serve from the stove — as well as lots of options of how to eat it.

It’s such a tasty, healthy recipe, and this way, you can eat it every week and never get bored!

Some days I have my stuff together and I get my slow cooker out and load it up in the morning and we’re ready to rock for dinner.

Other times, it’s almost dinner and I think, “Crap! I planned the meal, got all the ingredients and forgot to start the slow cooker!” Which is sad because the slow cooker version takes all of 5 minutes to prep.

Anyway, that’s why this lemon pepper chicken has two ways to make it. In case you’re like me and you feel like your brain is leaking some days…

(Am I the only one who stands in the shower and wonders, did I already shampoo and condition my hair? Just shampoo? Neither yet? Hmm…)

And bonus: whichever way you make it, you only need 5 ingredients! 🙌

Leaky brain or no, this is a simple, light and bright dinner that we love to eat year-round.

It’s got great fresh lemon flavors, the right amount of savory to balance and it’s seriously so easy to put together.

Now, I’ve got some notes, tips and substitutions coming up below. Just tryin’ to be helpful.

If you want to jump on down to the recipe, simply scroll right on through the rest of the text. The recipe card is near the bottom of the page, above the comments section.

Notes on making lemon pepper chicken:

  • To make this in the crock pot, you just need to season your chicken breasts and add them to the crock pot, along with the other ingredients. Just 5 minutes to prep!
  • I prefer to shred the slow cooker chicken once it’s finished cooking, but you could also serve it whole or just chop up the chicken.
  • The skillet version takes just 15 minutes start to finish. I cut the chicken breasts into small, 1-inch sized cubes to help it cook more quickly and more evenly. It doesn’t take long, so be sure not to overcook the chicken.
  • That said, the citrusy pan sauce also will help keep the chicken juicy. 👍
  • Finally, I use store-bought lemon pepper seasoning, but have also wanted to try making my own homemade lemon pepper seasoning, so you can go that route if you’d like.

Now, let’s get talk serving options. Cause there are lots!

(I love options and love helping you make every meal your very own to suit your tastes and your family’s tastes!)

Flavorful, easy, bright lemon-pepper chicken you can make in the slow cooker or on the stove, plus 6 ways to serve it! | FamilyFoodontheTable.com

Ways to serve lemon pepper chicken:

  1. Serve over brown rice (here’s how I cook it perfectly) or couscous or quinoa to sop up all the juices. Just add a side of steamed broccoli or your favorite veggie.
  2. Serve alongside roasted potatoes (paprika roasted potatoes are especially tasty with this) and veggies. I like to drain most of the extra juices for this option.
  3. Serve the chicken in a wrap with lettuce and tomato. And my favorite addition to the mix when I eat it this way: my lightened-up 5 minute hummus. I like to use this option for the leftovers for lunch the next day.
  4. Or, toss with orzo or another pasta and any extra veggies for an all-in-one dinner or an easy light lunch.
  5. Use for a pulled chicken sandwich (mainly the shredded crock pot version for this). Everyone can top with their favorites: lettuce, tomatoes, even avocado. You can also use pesto or hummus as a spread on the bun – delicious! This is a great way to serve this to a crowd.

And a bonus 6th way: Use this chicken to make a pretty, yummy grain bowl!

Pick your favorite grain (farro and brown rice are my faves), add your chicken, add some steamed or roasted veggies, maybe some fresh veggies like baby spinach, and top it off with a dollop of hummus, a dollop of guac or drizzle with your favorite dressing or sauce.

Flavorful, easy, bright lemon-pepper chicken that you can make in the slow cooker or on the stove, plus 5 ways to serve it!

Prep Time 5 minutes
Cook Time 10 minutes
Total Time 15 minutes

Ingredients

Slow cooker version:

  • 2 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons lemon-pepper seasoning
  • 3/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1/4 cup + 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, divided

Skillet version:

  • 1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut in 1/2 inch cubes
  • 2 teaspoons lemon pepper seasoning
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1/4 cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • juice and zest of 1/2 lemon

Instructions

Slow cooker version:

  1. Season chicken breasts with garlic powder and lemon-pepper seasoning.
  2. Add to crock pot along with chicken broth and 1/4 cup lemon juice.
  3. Cook on high for 4 hours or on low for 6-7 hours.
  4. Remove chicken breasts, shred and add back to the slow cooker. Stir to combine and get everything well-coated in the sauce. Add additional 2 tablespoons lemon juice.
  5. Taste and add salt and black pepper, if desired.

Skillet version:

  1. Season cubed chicken with lemon pepper seasoning and garlic powder.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large pan over medium heat.
  3. Add chicken and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  4. Add chicken broth, cover the pan with a lid and cook until the chicken is cooked through, about 5 more minutes.
  5. Stir in the lemon juice and lemon zest and serve!

Notes

The slow cooker method makes a lot. If you freeze the extras, be sure to spoon some sauce into the bags - it keeps the chicken from drying out while frozen and while reheating.

Serving ideas for lemon pepper chicken:

  1. Serve over brown rice (here’s how I cook it perfectly) or couscous to sop up all the juices. Just add a side of steamed broccoli or your favorite veggie.
  2. Serve alongside roasted potatoes (paprika roasted potatoes are especially tasty with this) and veggies. I like to drain most of the extra juices for this option.
  3. Serve the chicken in a wrap with lettuce and tomato. And my favorite addition to the mix when I eat it this way: my lightened-up 5 minute hummus. I like to use this option for the leftovers for lunch the next day.
  4. Or, toss with orzo or another pasta and any extra veggies for an all-in-one dinner or an easy light lunch.
  5. Use for a pulled chicken sandwich (mainly the shredded crock pot version for this). Everyone can top with their favorites: lettuce, tomatoes, even avocado. You can also use pesto or hummus as a spread on the bun – delicious! This is a great way to serve this to a crowd.
  6. Use the chicken to build a grain bowl with your favorite grains, roasted and/or fresh veggies and a dollop of hummus or guac or a drizzle of your favorite dressing or sauce.

    YUM! Lemon pepper chicken is so delicious! I’ve never had it in the slow cooker before, but I bet it tastes amazing!! I love all your options for how to devour this too! Total weeknight winner right here, girlfriend! Pinned!
    P.s. I’m constantly asking myself, “wait…what did I come in here for” or “what was I about to say?!” And I totally am guilty of questioning if I’m on the shampoo or conditioner step in the shower. 😀

    I have a leaky brain on a regular basis – at least once a day I’ll walk into a room and just stand there trying to remember what I came in for. And often times it gets to 5pm and I wonder where the day has gone to – to a recipe like this is perfect for me 🙂

    The crock pot version was delicious! I added about a cup of finely chopped spinach just before serving for a little bit of added veggie and color. I think peas might also be yummy mixed in. We ate it with (ahem, buttered) egg noodles and broccoli. Such a bright, fresh dinner!

          Hi Jenny! I’m sorry, I’ve just switched recipe plugins and there seem to be some tech glitches. They are looking into it now. That recipe card appears to be showing up at the very bottom of the post – underneath the big Pinterest image. (Hopefully it will be moved back up soon once they figure out what’s wrong.) Sorry for the inconvenience!

    This is so much better than my standard baked lemon pepper chicken! I saved this recipe to Pinterest and will definitely be making it again. Thank you!

    Can you use frozen chicken breasts for this?

      Hi Jamie, yes, I think frozen chicken breasts would be fine for the slow cooker version. It may take a little longer to cook but not by much. Hope that helps!
