    • 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…

(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 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!

(You can sign up for my newsletter so you never miss a recipe. You’ll also get my FREE e-book of easy weeknight dinners.) Wondering where to start? 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. A sweet treat that’s going to treat me right. But of course, it also needs to be delicious so I actually satisfy those sweet cravings! The healthier dessert recipes you’ll find below are some of our go-to treats that are perfect for a healthier late-night option and many of which are great for offering kids a wholesome, but fun, treat for an after-school snack or tucked in their lunch box. Most of these recipes are whole grain and naturally sweetened, others are recipe makeovers that are lower in sugar and/or butter. A majority of them contain chocolate. 🍫❤️ And ALL are easy to make.

These fall recipes are whole grain and most are naturally sweetened for a wholesome, delicious treat at breakfast, snack, school lunch or dessert! Does anyone else get the baking bug when the cooler weather starts to roll in during autumn? I know I do! 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. Plus the love that comes from a homemade baked good – it just can’t be beat! ❤️ And y’all know my style is definitely a healthier version of baking. I use whole grains and most of my recipes are naturally sweetened. I try to lighten things up where possible and keep to mostly wholesome treats, maybe with a little indulgence here and there! 😉 Wondering where to start?

Quick chicken curry {15 minutes} (+ video)

Quick chicken curry is an easy, one-pan recipe that’s ready in just 15 minutes. Beautiful and bursting with flavor, it’s perfect for a busy weeknight dinner!Quick chicken curry is an easy, one-pan recipe that’s ready in just 15 minutes -- perfect for a busy weeknight dinner! #curry #chicken #easydinner #easyrecipe

This past weekend went by way too fast and this week is shaping up to be crazy busy.

I’m thankful to have my monthly girls group dinner on Wednesday at least. It’ll be a needed break from the work-work-work grind I’m looking at for all the other hours of the days.

So let’s keep it short today and get right to the good stuff – the food!

You want to know my only note when I wrote this quick chicken curry recipe down last year so I would remember to post it on this here blog sometime?

“Freaking delicious.”

That, followed by the ingredients and instructions. So there you go, folks. That’s all you need to know about this recipe. It’s freaking delicious. 😂

And my husband agrees. We had this again last week and he looked up to me at the table and says, “This is my favorite recipe of yours.”

I was a bit surprised, honestly.

“Wow, really?!” I asked.

“I just love the flavors. Anything Indian you make, really.”

Turns out anything Indian is the way to my husband’s heart. Or stomach. Is that the same thing? 😜

Can’t say I blame him. It’s one of my favorite cuisines too.

(I’m a tad bit obsessed with my curried brown rice salad and may or may not make it on repeat and devour it all for myself. And we all adore easy chicken tikka masala – the sauce is to die for!)

But you know me, it’s gotta be easy. And fast. And this quick chicken curry absolutely is. I mean, it’s ready in 15 minutes, friends.

But let me just say – this is not exactly traditional and maybe not super authentic.

But you know what? I’m OK with a few shortcuts that get dinner on the table and still have ALL the great flavor! 🙌

Serving ideas for quick chicken curry:

  • I usually serve this with my steamed brown rice mixed with 1/2 cup golden raisins, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper (for 4 servings). It all just works really well together. 👌
  • White rice or basmati rice would work well, too.
  • I even think curry goes great with potatoes. You could add some roasted potatoes on the side or serve this over a fluffy baked potatoes. (I’m a serious cheater and I always make microwaved baked potatoes.)
  • The fresh chopped parsley or cilantro on top of the curry chicken is key, too. Gives a hit of freshness and brightness.
  • I also like sprinkling on some chopped peanuts when serving this up. They give it a good crunch and add some richness too.

For a veggie side, I typically just warm up some frozen peas, stir in a pat of butter and season them with salt and pepper. Deliciousness all around!

Steamed broccoli or a side salad would work, too.

If you’re going low-carb, or just want more veggies, you could also serve this over some cauliflower rice.

I hope you’ll give this quick chicken curry a try the next time you’re craving Indian for dinner but are short on time.

(And if you are looking for a vegetarian version, I’ve got you covered. My quick and easy vegetarian curry is light but filling and ready in 15 minutes too! Or check out my 20-minute coconut chicken curry. Yum!)

Happy cooking!

Kathryn

Quick chicken curry is an easy, one-pan recipe that’s ready in just 15 minutes!

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

Ingredients

  • 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 small yellow onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon curry powder
  • 1 14.5 oz. can diced fire-roasted tomatoes, drained
  • 1/3 cup low-sodium chicken broth (see notes)
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper, optional
  • 1 1/2 cups cooked chicken, chopped (from a rotisserie or leftover, see notes)
  • 3/4 cup plain Greek yogurt (non-fat, 2% or 5% fat are all OK)

For serving:

  • Chopped fresh parsley or cilantro
  • Chopped peanuts (optional)

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add onion and sauté for 4-5 minutes, until softened. Add garlic and sauté another 30 seconds.
  3. Stir in curry powder, diced tomatoes, and chicken broth. Season with salt, pepper and cayenne, if using.
  4. Bring to a low simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes, until slightly thickened.
  5. Stir in chicken until warmed through, 1-2 more minutes.
  6. Turn off the heat and stir in the Greek yogurt until just combined.
  7. Serve hot with fresh chopped parsley or cilantro and chopped peanuts.

Notes

If you have raw chicken breasts you want to use for this recipe, here's what to do: Chop the chicken into 1/2 inch cubes. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Add the chicken to the pan after the onion and garlic has softened (after step #2 in the instructions) and cook, stirring occasionally, until it's completely cooked through. It should take about 7-8 minutes. Then proceed with the rest of the recipe.

Update: Some readers have had an issue with curdling, so I've tweaked the recipe to help prevent that. I recently made this substituting low-sodium chicken broth for the milk I previously had in the recipe, and it worked great. I also revised the recipe so the Greek yogurt gets stirred in at the very end, which should also help prevent curdling.

        Hi,

        Can I use flavoured yoghurt if I do not have plain yoghurt in the house?

          September 17, 2018 at 3:27 PM

          Hi, I wouldn’t recommend that, as flavored yogurts would add sugar/sweetness as well as the flavor of the yogurt to the dish. You could substitute sour cream though.

      Hi Lisa! I’m so glad to hear you enjoyed it! Milk can curdle if it heats too quickly, or if it comes to a boil. Even if you didn’t boil it, though, a hot pan or heat that’s slightly too high, could do it. You can try lowering your heat next time before you add the milk and yogurt to the pan. Hope that helps!

    This recipe was great! I ended up doubling it for my community of 7 and we even had leftovers. I thought that the flavors were well developed even with the small amount of time. Like some others said, the curry slightly curdled when I added the milk and yogurt, but it cooked out after some time. Thanks!

    When I made it, the yogurt and milk separated and clumped together and it all became watery. Did I do something wrong? I used all the ingredients on the list

      Hi Amber! Yogurt and/or milk can curdle if the heat is too high or it comes to a boil. It may cook out though if you leave it on low heat for a little while. This dish should be saucy – that’s why I love it with rice, to soak up some of the yummy juices – but shouldn’t seem overly watery. I hope that helps!

      This recipe makes 4 servings and I just divide it out evenly among the plates – it’s probably about 1 cup or so per person of the chicken and sauce and everything. Hope that helps and hope you enjoy it!

    Hi! I have never ever made curry.. or even know what it is really! Lol.. but my friend loves it. So I thought I would try it. Are we able to use sour cream instead of the Greek yogurt? Or would that give it the wrong taste? And I need to buy the curry seasoning… is it spicey? Thanks!

      October 10, 2018 at 8:22 PM

      Hi Jenny! While this is definitely not a super authentic curry, I think it’s a great introductory one – and a super easy one too! Yes, you should be just fine to substitute sour cream in place of the Greek yogurt. Curry seasoning is a blend of sweet and savory spices and most grocery store versions are pretty mild, not spicy, so you should be OK. I hope you and your friend love this dish!

    This was very good! I didn’t have leftover chicken, so I cooked some chicken tenders first. The curry sauce came together quickly, then I tore apart the chicken tenders and added them. The only issue I had was the yogurt curdled. It was still good but next time I’ll remove the pan from heat (stove was set to medium) when adding the yogurt and lower the stove temp to low before putting the pan back on the stove for a few minutes to heat the dish at the end. I’ve also read that stirring a little starch into the yogurt before adding it to a hot dish will prevent the yogurt from splitting.

        Hi, I’m new on your blog and love your ideas. I’m always looking for quick and easy recipes especially in where things can be substituted so I can adjust to what I already have in the house. Thank you, I love your ideas!
        I’m in Australia so I need to do online conversions from lb into ml or grams etc but that’s ok.
        My question is, what do you mean by the starch trick? I’m not sure what starch is, is it cornflour?

          Hi Cilia, I’m so happy you found me! The “starch trick” was in response to another reader’s comment that you can stir some starch into yogurt before adding it to a dish to help prevent curdling. This would typically be cornstarch. (Here’s an Amazon link so you can check it out in case they don’t have it in your grocery store or call it something different: https://amzn.to/30glZq6) I hope that helps! 😊

    Hi kathryn,
    As there are several comments regarding the curdling of the yogurt and milk, may I suggest you mention that in your directions for making this recipe. I just made this recipe and it did indeed curdle and I should know better as this has happened to me before in other recipes. I think if it was written right in the directions it would help me and others remember to be mindful of the temperature before adding the dairy. I will save this recipe to my files but hope you can add the note on curdling. Thanks so much.

      Hi Ray! You can substitute full-fat coconut milk in place of the Greek yogurt and a non-dairy milk in place of the milk to make this dairy-free. (Or try my 20-minute coconut chicken curry – https://www.familyfoodonthetable.com/20-minute-coconut-chicken-curry/) I hope that helps!

      Hi Marie! I would chop your chicken breasts into 1/2-inch cubes or so, to help it cook more quickly. Then I would start it before the onion and cook it for 4-5 minutes (in the olive oil over medium heat). Then add the onion and proceed with the recipe as written above. I hope that helps!

      Hi Lin! Normally, I’m ALL about freezing leftovers of all varieties and it usually works out. I haven’t frozen this, however, and I’m not sure the sauce would do well, given that it has the Greek yogurt in it. Would love to hear if you try it though.

    I wanted to love this recipe because I love curry and it’s so quick! But it just had no flavor at all 🙁 I added a bunch more curry powder and some red curry powder and it just didn’t taste good. It also curdled right when I put it in the pan and I had removed it from the heat for a minute to let the pan cool a bit like the notes said. I think the greek yogurt is a mistake, unless you’re using whole milk greek yogurt (I used 2%). I’ll try other recipes though!

    So chunks of tomato are not usually in curry, they are usually cooked down or blended down to make up the base, and adding yogurt in at the end like that just makes it so when the dish cools even slightly you’re rice and chicken just tastes like yogurt, not much flavor with this recipe at all. Some things just aren’t meant to be made in 15 minutes.
