There are so many great things you can do with chicken. You can actually have chicken dishes up to three times per week, and your family will not even notice, because you will be using different easy chicken recipes all the time.
If you start with the side of a chicken, or perhaps several breasts or thighs, you can boil these parts of the chicken, adding some vegetable chunks and a bit of spice to them. When they are almost completely cooked, just add rice to the water, and when the rice is done, you have a chicken and rice meal that is healthy and that your family will love. The spices to add would be chopped onions, garlic, celery, carrots, and perhaps some dried oregano, parsley, thyme and basil.
For a spicier chicken meal, it can be Caribbean with Jamaican jerk. This is a sweet, yet very spicy blend of different spices that just turn on the taste buds. To get started, just cook the chicken in some olive or canola oil on top of the stove. When it is almost cooked through, add some chopped onion and garlic, bell pepper pieces, and if you like it hotter, some jalapeno. Kidney beans without the juice comes next, along with some tomato sauce and perhaps some diced tomatoes, as well. Add the spices, which will include Jamaican jerk, cumin and coriander, and serve this will plain white rice. This is a meal they will ask for again.
There are some great oriental packets that allow you to put together a very simple Chinese dish that tastes very authentic. Try the kung pao chicken for the easy preparation of a delicious meal, once again over rice, that will treat the taste buds.
There is also a sweet and sour mix, with involves bell peppers and pineapple chunks, for a totally different taste. Chinese recipes are so much easier this way.
For the super bowl parties, and other gatherings, chicken wings with either barbeque sauce or hot wing sauce is a great treat. You can serve these with pork and beans, or potato and macaroni salads, or a variety of other finger foods, like mozzarella sticks, or even potato chips.
For endless delicious variations of so many choices for chicken, a chicken cookbook will have you experimenting for years to come. Prepare it as your family likes it, and stick to the favorites. As you make them more than once, they will become routine and no bother at all, serving different easy chicken recipes every week.
