Chicken is a great main entree and can be made so many ways. Over the last few years, I’ve shared several grilled chicken marinades with different flavors such as Grilled Marinated Chicken with Apple Salsa or Cilantro Lime Chicken with Avocado Salsa. A good marinade is an easy way to have a tasty entree.

Grilled Marinated Chicken With Apple Salsa
It’s May, and I’m ready to grill chicken. Last October I shared a recipe for Crunchy Apple Salsa with its sweet heat. It is a perfect addition to grilled meat. Today I’d like to discuss a great marinated grilled chicken. The marinade is a mixture of white wine, apple juice, lime zest, and black pepper. Together the salsa topped grilled chicken breasts make a wonderful and easy main course.

Comforting Chicken and Rice Casserole
Chicken and rice is served in many cultures with lots of variations in the recipe. I must admit I’ve never meet chicken and rice I didn’t like. This dish is an inexpensive meal which is comforting and filling. I used chicken thighs with bone and skin, but you could try it with other chicken parts. Use a Dutch oven, a large iron skillet, or a casserole dish. The meal can be served with broccoli, green beans, or a salad.

Chicken, Pasta & Broccoli
Today I’m sharing an easy main dish for hot summer days, Chicken Pasta & Broccoli. You can use any cooked chicken: grilled, sauteed, baked, or even a rotisserie chicken from the supermarket. Cook the pasta in boiling water and add the fresh broccoli for the last 4 minutes. While the pasta is cooking, make your pasta sauce and cut up your cooked chicken. To cut the fat, I am using half & half instead of heavy cream in the sauce. Half-and-half cream combined with melted butter can be a simple substitute in many recipes that require heavy cream. It has about 1/3 of the calories as heavy cream and still makes the dish very tasty.

Slow Cooker Chicken Cacciatore
Today’s recipe is an easy dish that brings lots of warmth, flavor, and comfort but with only 15 minutes prep. Italian chicken cacciatore usually uses a mix of chicken parts and is slowly simmered on the stove. I like a healthy chicken cacciatore slow cooker approach. Making chicken cacciatore in the crock pot achieves the same tenderness and depth of flavor as the slow-simmer method, with less hassle.

Asian Glazed Chicken
Today’s recipe is a marinated chicken with an Asian blend of spices and sweetness to meld into a sweet heat. You can use almost any piece of chicken for it although I am recommending boneless breasts and thighs. Chicken thighs make an economical meal for a family on a budget. Serve the Asian chicken with rice and the marinade sauce. Garnish with herbs or chopped green onions.
