    My favourite chicken dinners

    Here is a list of my favourite family friendly chicken dinners. The recipes are all super simple to make and I am sure you will be adding them to your weekly meal plan. 

    The best chicken dinners from vj cooks

    Chicken is such a versatile meat to cook with and often pleases the whole family. Below are my favourite chicken dinners I have made over the years and I will be adding more as I create them. Some are quick and cooked in a pan and there are a few slow cooker and multi-cooker recipes too. I think my kids favourite recipe out of all of them has to be the teriyaki chicken bowls, I serve their mini bowls with frozen mixed veggies. No matter which cut of chicken you have in your fridge or freezer I am sure there will be a recipe here that you will love too.
