    • 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! We are BIG muffin lovers in this house, at all times of day! My kiddos love them for breakfast, brunch, school lunch, afternoon snack and sometimes even savory muffins at dinner. Muffins all the time! I’ve made thousands of healthy muffin recipes over the years and I love sharing them with you! There are plenty to browse below and plenty more I plan to add! (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.

    • Healthy Fall BakingThese healthy fall baking favorites include everything from muffins and baked oatmeal to snacks to cookies and cakes. 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?

Southern New Year’s Day dinner skillet

Southern New Year’s Day dinner skillet incorporates many of the traditional good luck foods for a quick and easy one-pan meal with incredible flavor!Southern New Year’s Day dinner skillet incorporates many of the traditional good luck foods for a quick and easy one-pan meal with incredible flavor!

Here in the South, New Years Day calls for certain foods to be eaten to ensure a healthy and prosperous year ahead.

In my family, you were supposed to eat three main foods:

  1. Pork – It was more of a special occasion food in the South, particularly the “high on the hog” cuts and along with the rich fat content, is meant to symbolize wealth and prosperity.
  2. Black-eyed peas – Some people say lentils and peas are eaten on New Years Day because they resemble small coins. That’s what we always said at my house. Others say the black-eyed peas tradition dates back to the Civil War when Vicksburg, Mississippi, was cut off from food supplies and the people resorted to eating the crops used to feed cattle (which is why these are sometimes called cowpeas). This saved them from starvation and made the peas a symbol of resourcefulness and good fortune.
  3. Greens (namely collard greens) – their green color is meant to symbolize paper money and ensure wealth and prosperity

And the bonus food is cornbread. It’s golden color and the golden nuggets of corn are also supposed to ensure a year of financial success.

Southern New Year’s Day dinner skillet incorporates many of the traditional good luck foods for a quick and easy one-pan meal with incredible flavor!

I bucked this tradition when I was a child, taking the tiniest bite I could muster from a pile of black-eyed peas, a pile of collard greens and a slice of ham.

Now, as an adult, I welcome the chance to combine these goodies into all kinds of dishes!

I brought you my quick Southern collard greens with bacon earlier this month and today it’s my Southern New Year’s Day dinner skillet.

(I also have one more New Years Day recipe coming up for you on Friday so stay tuned! <— If you go to sign up for my free e-newsletter, you’ll also get my free Healthy Weeknight Dinner recipes e-book!)

Southern New Year’s Day dinner skillet incorporates many of the traditional good luck foods for a quick and easy one-pan meal with incredible flavor!

This New Years Day skillet recipe is perfect for when you want to get in all the goodies to set yourself up for a happy, prosperous year but you seriously don’t want to spend any more time in the kitchen.

Cause I feel you.

It’s a holiday. You may or may not have made it to midnight the night before. You may or may not have had too much bubbly, too many cocktails or wine and you may or may not be dragging ass on New Year’s Day.

So come dinner time, I kinda want to cut to the chase.

And this quick and easy Southern New Year’s Day dinner skillet is everything you need in a one-pan meal that’s seriously hard for me to resist. Case in point: I’ve made it 4 times in the past couple of months and we haven’t even gotten to New Years Day yet!

Sautéed collard greensSouthern New Year’s Day dinner skillet incorporates many of the traditional good luck foods for a quick and easy one-pan meal with incredible flavor!

The tender collards and onion cooked in the bacon grease is epic, obviously.

But the little bit of spice, the perfectly incorporated black-eyed peas, the shredded chicken for a little extra heartiness and the shot of vinegar at the end to really brighten it up really brings this whole dish together.

Plus, then you top it with your reserved crumbly, salty bacon. That makes me start to drool a little… 

Notes on this Southern New Year’s Day dinner skillet:

  • I prefer using thick-cut bacon (and I find it fits better in my pan), but any kind will do.
  • I julienne cut my collard greens, after they’ve been washed and trimmed, which is why they cook so quickly. (See picture above to see what I mean or check out my quick Southern collard greens post for more details and a how-to video.)
  • You can use leftover roast chicken or a rotisserie chicken for this recipe. Or you can substitute ham if you have some. You could also skip the chicken, but I like that it adds some heft and protein.

I like to serve this over my steamed perfect brown rice and top it with some cheddar cheese and green onions, in addition to the crumbled bacon.

I have a thing for toppings. And by “thing,” I mean mild obsession. (OK, OK, total addiction. Sheesh!)

And of course, feel free to serve with a big slab of golden cornbread on the side. 👍

Southern New Year’s Day dinner skillet incorporates many of the traditional good luck foods for a quick and easy one-pan meal with incredible flavor!

Some other of my New Year’s recipes include:

  • Cheesy cornbread muffins
  • Black-eyed peas burgers
  • New Year’s Day black-eyed pea casserole

Let’s make 2017 a wonderful (and apparently financially fabulous) year! I’ll also do my best to help you make it a healthy + delicious year too 😉

Enjoy!

Prep Time 5 minutes
Cook Time 20 minutes
Total Time 25 minutes

Ingredients

  • 5 slices bacon
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1 bunch collard greens, stem removed, rolled tightly and thinly sliced
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 14.5 oz can black-eyed peas, rinsed and drained
  • 1 1/2 cups cooked chicken breast, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar

For serving:

  • cooked brown rice, shredded cheddar cheese, sliced green onions

Instructions

  1. Heat a large sauté pan over medium heat and add bacon. Cook bacon until crispy, about 8-10 minutes, flipping as needed. Remove bacon, crumble and set aside.
  2. Drain all but 2 tablespoons of the bacon grease from the pan. Add onions to the pan and sauté in the bacon grease over medium heat for 4-5 minutes, until tender.
  3. Add garlic and red pepper flakes and sauté for another 30 seconds.
  4. Stir in collards greens and season with salt and pepper.
  5. Add chicken broth and sauté until the liquid is mostly evaporated, 2-3 minutes.
  6. Stir in black-eyed peas and cooked chicken. Cook 1-2 minutes, until heated through.
  7. Add white wine vinegar, taste and adjust seasoning.
  8. Serve over brown rice and top with reserved crumbled bacon. Top with cheddar cheese and green onions, if desired.

Notes

I prefer using thick-cut bacon, but any kind will do.

I julienne cut my collard greens (aka, roll and thinly slice), after they’ve been washed and trimmed, which is why they cook so quickly.

You can use leftover roast chicken or a rotisserie chicken for this recipe. Or you can substitute ham if you have some. You could also skip the chicken if you prefer.

    I’ve heard about black eyed peas and greens for the new year, but not corn bread or pork! Loving everything about this recipe, especially the one skillet! Big thumbs up! And greens and onion cooked in bacon grease? How can you possibly go wrong?! Totally can’t!! I have a mild obsession with toppings too. Sometimes I think I put just as much effort into the garnish as the actual main component. But, it IS the little things, right 😉 ? I love your suggestion of topping with cheese! And great job on the video too 🙂 Thanks for bringing us such delicious recipes and looking forward to seeing more in 2017. All the best to you and your family! Hope you have a lovely New Year’s Eve together! XO

      Hi Dawn, the reason we eat pork on New Years is because the pig is the only animal that cannot look behind its self. Telling you to look ahead into the new year forget the past. New beginnings and we make new year’s resolutions.

    I feel like us northern folk must be missing out on something, because I can’t say that we have ever had a traditional “good luck” food to eat for the New Year. Maybe the tradition was lost because my parents never cooked any of these things for us! Either way, it’s a shame because this skillet looks incredible and I can totally get down with a slice of cornbread whenever I get the chance!

      Yup, you are definitely missing out! 😉 But you can make up for lost time and get your skillet on this weekend – and serve with cornbread for the ultimate experience! Happy New Year!

    I try to have black eyed peas every New Year, but I’ve never heard of pork and cornbread being good luck (I knew about the collards though). Thanks for the New Years education lesson, Kathryn! This one pan meal is seriously so fun and creative! What a great idea to combine ALL the good luck possible into one pan! Seriously, genius. I need to eat like 5 if these pans myself. Lol. I hope you and your family have a wonderful NYE, my dear!! Cheers! <3

    This was delicious! I had to modify it because my family is watching our cholesterol. I used turkey bacon instead of regular bacon so instead of bacon grease I used extra virgin olive oil. I also added cut up salmon instead of chicken to bring in the good fortune for our family. I crumbled up the turkey bacon and added it into the dish instead of on top. This was a wonderful delight! Thank you for taking the time to create this masterpiece to share with others. Happy New Year!
