Americans eat more chicken than any other type of meat, and that’s probably not a surprise to anyone, especially in the South—hello, fried chicken!
Chicken is great cooked any and all ways, but we all have days when we don’t want to lift a finger in the kitchen. Unfortunately our lunchboxes and dinner plates aren’t going to fill themselves. If you need a meal in a hurry or are tired after a long day, try one of these easy chicken dishes. They can either be prepared in 30 minutes or less or the ingredients prepped for letting the slow cooker do all the work. Mealtime doesn’t get much simpler than that.
