Healthy Orange Chicken
Who doesn’t love orange chicken? To make a healthier version of this beloved zesty takeout dish, I pan-fry the chicken instead of battering and frying them, and there are also a ton of veggies in this dish. It’s a great weeknight dinner that the whole family will love!
Thai Cashew Chicken
This is seriously the best Thai cashew chicken I’ve ever had. This dish has been a firm favourite when ordering takeout for a long time, and now I can finally say that “we have cashew chicken at home” because this is better than takeout. It’s saucy, nutty, and full of fresh, crunchy veg and tender chicken strips. Next time you are thinking about ordering in, try making this instead.
Lemon Yogurt Grilled Chicken
Chicken thighs grilled on the BBQ are the best way to cook them (in my opinion). The skin gets all charred and crispy, the marinade keeps the meat succulent and juicy, and there is no way to beat the flame-grilled taste. These chicken thighs are marinated in a herby lemon yogurt sauce overnight, then grilled to perfection. A lovely dish for a summer dinner outside.
Greek Chicken Meatballs
Chicken meatballs are a great mid-week dinner and are always a favourite. They come together quickly and boast all of the flavours of a trip to Greece. Fry them until golden and then serve with a Greek salad for a full Mediterranean meal.
The Perfect Roast Chicken
This is such a simple way to make a juicy, tender, and flavourful chicken with just a few ingredients. The trick is in the method and butterflying your chicken so that the outside gets beautifully golden and crispy while the inside stays juicy and soaks up all the flavours.
Chicken Mayo Tostadas with a Pineapple Tomato Salsa
These tostadas are crunchy from the base, creamy from the homemade mayonnaise, and fresh from the pineapple tomato salsa. It’s simple to make and is a great way to use leftover rotisserie chicken.
Thai Red Curry Coconut Chicken Breasts
These chicken breasts are tender and bursting with flavour. The Thai red curry paste gives an aromatic, vibrant kick, while the coconut cream tones down the spice and keeps the chicken succulent and tender. Cooking the chicken breasts in the oven allows them to cook through without getting burnt and rubbery on the outside.
Herby Citrus Roast Chicken
A juicy roast chicken for a Sunday lunch is just perfection. I personally love the zestiness in the chicken from the citrus, using all the fresh garden herbs that I can find, and the sweet carrots that soak up all the flavour.
Tzatziki Chicken Wraps
Wraps are a great way to pack lots of veg and protein into your meal. Tzatziki chicken is one of my favourite things to put in wraps because it just tastes so damn good and it’s actually really simple to make!
