Say goodbye to basic chicken dinners and hello to flavor-packed ones. I always have chicken stashed in the freezer ready to thaw. With its neutral flavor, based on ingredients I have handy I can create a dish that satisfies my taste buds.<\/p>\n

“My husband loves spicy Asian dishes, so it wasn’t a surprise when a friend asked me for a good Korean dish,” shares Patty Shannon<\/a> (Brentwood, TN<\/a>). “The red potatoes add a mild sweetness to counteract the hot spices, but you can use regular potatoes, too.”<\/p>\n

Patty’s Dakdoritang – Korean Spicy Chicken<\/a> recipe will turn your family into the Clean Plate Club. Carefully adjust the amount of red pepper flakes and chili pepper paste in order to manage the heat level. A little of each goes a long way, so go very light if you prefer your dishes on the mild side.<\/p>\n

If you’re a fan of Thai flavors, add Tosca Teklu’s<\/a> (Walla Walla, WA<\/a>) Panang Curry<\/a> to your menu. The beauty of this recipe is that you can prepare it the way you like. Tosca’s version is fantastic.<\/p>\n

He adds a bit of heat by using tabasco sauce. It gives the dish a nice kick of flavor. The mix of curry paste with peanut butter and coconut milk creates a fantastic blend of classic Thai flavors. Serve over freshly steamed rice and you have Thai take-out made at home.<\/p>\n

Sylvia Waldsmith <\/a>(Gautier, MS<\/a>) shared her take on Chicken Chilaquiles<\/a> that’s delicious.<\/p>\n

“Originally created this to use leftover tortillas that were then deep-fried,” explains Sylvia. “I skipped that step and use prepared tortilla chips. You can use freshly poached chicken, leftover chicken, or pick up a roasted chicken at the grocery store!”<\/p>\n

Using tortilla chips helps to make this a quick and delicious dinner. Salsa verde adds a bit of spice, but you can easily adjust the heat by selecting a milder version.<\/p>\n

Mixing cream cheese and sour cream with the salsa really adds a tangy bite to the dish. The layers of chicken and melted cheese bring the dish together. Your whole family will enjoy this easy meal.<\/p>\n

If you like lots of cheese, try Cindy DeVore’s<\/a> (Amissville, VA<\/a>) Spicy Cheesy Chicken Bake<\/a>. It’s a cheesy twist on a classic chicken and rice casserole.<\/p>\n

“At the Valley Green Farm, we love-love-love cheese,” reveals Cindy. “And we really love spicy dishes, too. If your palate doesn’t handle a lot of heat, this recipe can be toned down easily by omitting the jalapeno and chili powder.”<\/p>\n

I loved the bite jalapeno and chili powder gives the dish. Pepper jack and cheddar cheese add so much flavor and creaminess to the rice.<\/p>\n

This easy casserole can be quickly thrown together when you’re in a pinch and your family will love it. Add a side salad and dinner is served.<\/p>\n

Pam Taylor-MacKenzie’s<\/a> Spanish Chicken and Rice<\/a> is amazing. It’s an extremely aromatic dish with an assortment of Spanish spices to excite your senses.<\/p>\n

“I now use boneless chicken thighs cut into bite-sized pieces, lightly seasoned with the spices and Spanish chorizo sausages sliced and browned,” says Pam.<\/p>\n

Originally, Pam used chicken drumsticks, and while she prefers chicken thighs, both would be delicious in this one-pot meal. Spanish chorizo adds tons of flavor to this dish. Spanish olives give adds some salt. This takes chicken and rice to a whole new level. It’s a must-try.<\/p>\n
