I’ve gathered up a bunch of boneless chicken breast recipes because sometimes we need a little creative jump-start.
So, happy browsing! I hope you find some new dinner recipes to try.
Breaded Baked Chicken
Juicy boneless skinless chicken breasts with a crispy oven-baked breadcrumb coating. This breaded baked chicken is a weeknight go-to favorite.
Sheet Pan Chicken Ratatouille
Ratatouille, a classic dish from the south of France, is packed with summer-fresh produce, but instead of stewing or arranging the veggies in a baking dish, I like to toss all of the ingredients on a sheet pan. It makes for a lower-maintenance dinner that can be served hot, at room temperature, or cold.
Cajun Chicken Alfredo
Creamy Cajun chicken alfredo combines a cheesy Alfredo sauce with Cajun seasonings and boneless chicken for a 30-minute dinner that will satisfy a craving for pasta.
Red Chicken Chili
This warm and cozy chicken chili is a quick-cooking chili that’s ready in about an hour. The chicken is kept whole while it simmers, so it’s juicy and tender. Add your favorite toppings for a delicious dinner.
Grilled Chicken Cobb Salad
Cobb salad with grilled chicken, crispy bacon, hard-boiled eggs, creamy avocado, and fresh greens all tied together with a tangy red wine vinaigrette. This is no side salad – it’s a meal in itself and delicious when you’re craving something light and fresh.
Balsamic Glazed Chicken
Balsamic Glazed Chicken is a simple way to make chicken for salads, pasta, or as a main dish all on its own! All you need is a few pantry ingredients and 15 minutes to make it.
Fajita Chicken Burgers
A simple citrus-chili chicken marinade turns plain-old chicken breasts into juicy and tender chicken burgers that are full of flavor. Top them with peppers and onions for a fun twist on chicken fajitas!
Poblano Black Bean Rice and Chicken Bowl
Like a burrito without the tortilla, this dish features rice loaded with spices, fresh poblano peppers, black beans, and a simple pan-cooked chicken breast. Serve it as is, or dress it up with your favorite burrito toppings like sour cream, guacamole, and salsa.
Chipotle Chicken Tacos
These chipotle chicken tacos are a little spicy, a little smoky, and a whole lot of deliciousness. The chicken is marinated in a simple chipotle sauce and tucked into tortillas with a cool and crunchy cilantro-lime coleslaw.
Chicken and Broccoli Pasta
Orecchiette, a creamy sauce, tender chicken, and broccoli – this chicken pasta is comforting and totally satisfying.
Lemon-Garlic Chicken
Lemon Garlic Chicken with veggies is a light and flavorful 30-minute dinner!
Pesto Chicken Orzo Soup
This small-batch soup with chicken, pesto, zucchini, and pasta makes enough for two people with some leftovers to reheat the next day for lunch. It’s a quick 30-minute recipe.
Chicken BLT Salad
Just like a BLT sandwich, but salad-style with some chicken to make it a filling lunch or dinner. It’s all here – crispy bacon, juicy cherry tomatoes, a creamy yogurt-mayo dressing, plus easy homemade croutons. Perfect for a light dinner!
Slow Cooker Shredded BBQ Chicken
Shredded BBQ chicken is easy to make in the slow cooker and a great way to feed a crowd or make a batch for easy dinners during the week. I like to pile the BBQ chicken on buns, but it’s also great wrapped up in tortillas or tossed with greens and veggies for a salad.
Southwestern Chicken Pasta
Tender chicken, corn, cherry tomatoes, and pasta all tossed together in a smoky chipotle cream sauce.
Tomatillo Chicken Pasta
Roasting tomatillos brings out their natural sweetness and, when combined with roasted onion and garlic, makes a delicious sauce for pasta. Some cilantro and lime add brightness, making this tomatillo chicken pasta a delicious way to reinvent pasta night.
Chicken Fajita Bowl
Chicken fajitas served up bowl-style with rice, colorful bell peppers, and a sour cream sauce. This is a quick and easy recipe when you’re craving fajitas, or make it ahead to have on hand for easy meals during the week.
Easy Chicken Parmesan
Chicken Parmesan is a classic comfort food dinner. Crispy breaded chicken topped with marinara and fresh mozzarella cheese is ready in less than an hour. It starts on the stove and finishes in the oven for a delicious dinner you can serve with pasta, rice, bread, or salad.
One Pan Chicken and Veggies
This sheet pan chicken is heavy on green vegetables with bite-sized pieces of chicken breast tossed in a smoked paprika rub. Drizzle the garlic-basil dressing over the hot veggies and chicken for a pop of brightness.
Crispy Baked Chicken Sliders
These crispy baked chicken sliders are a delicious bite for a fun dinner or party appetizer.
Pesto Chicken Pasta
This pesto chicken pasta is a fresh summer dinner made with cherry tomatoes, pesto, mozzarella, and tender chicken. It’s an easy 30-minute dinner.
Small-Batch Broccoli Chicken Soup
Creamy broccoli chicken soup for two garnished with crispy bacon and Parmesan cheese.
Chicken and Peppers
Boneless skinless chicken breasts and colorful bell peppers cook up in no time with a few pantry ingredients to give them lots of flavor. It’s a great weeknight dish.
Chicken Broccoli Alfredo
This chicken broccoli Alfredo is a 30-minute dinner that you only need a handful of ingredients to make. Finely chopped broccoli is cooked in the Alfredo sauce, so the whole dish is infused with broccoli flavor. It’s a creamy and comforting pasta dinner.
Buffalo Chicken Sandwich
Spicy buffalo chicken sandwiches topped with crispy lettuce and a creamy blue cheese dressing. The crispy chicken is coated in panko and then baked. Dip them in buffalo sauce to give them a spicy kick!
