Recently chicken was on sale at the grocery store so I stocked up. Each time I open my freezer, though, I realize I may have gone a bit overboard. <\/p>\n

I need to clear some space, so we’re having chicken this week in my house. But I’m not worried about everyone getting bored, because there are so many delicious chicken recipes<\/a><\/strong>!<\/p>\n

I love chicken salad and Stacey Vadas’<\/a><\/strong> Fabulous Chicken Salad<\/a><\/strong>. “Over the years, and with my children and husband as my taste-testers, I have come up with this recipe which has a secret ingredient that adds a great taste,” teases Stacey. <\/p>\n

The grapes and apple add sweetness and crunch. The addition of coleslaw helps make it extra creamy. And that secret spice… it definitely adds to the flavor! Pick up a few croissants, or your favorite bread, and make up a few sandwiches.<\/p>\n

Lauren Mitchell’s<\/a><\/strong> Grilled Chicken Sandwich with Cilantro Lime Mayo<\/a><\/strong> is downright scrumptious. “This was a spur of the moment idea that turned out great, super fast and healthy,” shares Lauren. <\/p>\n

The combo of grilled chicken, lime and taco seasoning is terrific. It will definitely be a regular on my summer menu – and I’d recommend it to yours too.<\/p>\n

“Every one in my family loves this dish,” says Melinda Lourenco<\/a><\/strong>. “It’s simple and saves on ordering Chinese take-out.” The flavors in the marinade make this Asian Marinated Chicken Breast<\/a><\/strong> super yummy. Add some rice and you’ve got tasty take-in chicken. I guarantee this chicken will be requested often.<\/p>\n

“I created these Homemade Chicken Hot Pockets<\/a><\/strong> out of necessity for something different and something easy to eat at work,” explains David Henson<\/a><\/strong>. <\/p>\n

These are super easy and tasty. I’m never going to grab a box from the frozen food aisle again. The best part is you can experiment with your favorite fillings. Great for lunch, snack or a light dinner, kids and adults will not be able to get enough of these!<\/p>\n

Luci Vieira’s<\/a><\/strong> Chicken Pineapple Kabobs<\/a><\/strong> is an easy recipe you can fix ahead of time. Then, slide on the skewers for a quick meal after work or a great entree for your next cookout. <\/p>\n

“Everyone loves these quick and easy chicken and pineapple kabobs,” exclaims Luci. “The longer you marinate the chicken the better.” These kabobs have a great mix of flavor and will be a hit around the table!<\/p>\n

“I had this at a local restaurant many years ago and loved it,” shares Lucille Hoerle<\/a><\/strong> on how she developed her Chicken Annabella <\/a><\/strong>recipe. “I came home and tried to duplicate it and this is my version.” <\/p>\n

The presentation of this dish is lovely and looks impressive. But it’s very easy to make! All you need to add is a simple salad and dinner is served.<\/p>\n

I can’t talk about chicken and not mention fried chicken. In the south, it’s a summer staple and Virginia Dean’s<\/a><\/strong> Southern Fried Chicken<\/a><\/strong> recipe will make you look like you’re kin to the Colonel! <\/p>\n

“Everyone who has ever tried my chicken really loves it, and wants to know how I get it so crispy,” says Virginia. I love the buttermilk soak combined with the self-rising flour… super crunchy and moist.<\/p>\n

Grilled, baked, or fried, I’m a fan of chicken. It’s versatile and can be turned into a delicious meal. Do you have a chicken recipes your family enjoys? Post them… I’m always on the hunt for something new!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
