Rotisserie chicken breast and jarred salsa verde make this chicken enchiladas recipe a breeze to prepare. This is also a great freezer recipe. Just wrap tightly, freeze and thaw completely in the fridge overnight before reheating.

This chicken parmesan recipe is a tasty way to enjoy boneless skinless chicken breasts. If you're in a hurry, you can make this recipe easy by using jarred spaghetti sauce. If not, why not make your own homemade spaghetti sauce.

4. BBQ Chicken

This simple, four-ingredient BBQ chicken recipe is super easy. The chicken cooks long and slow in an electric skillet, which ensures a constant temperature and prevents the barbecue sauce from burning.

Why bother with takeout when you can make this chicken stir fry recipe at home? Although I didn't include any vegetables in this recipe (in case the picky eaters in your house will reject it on that basis alone), this chicken stir fry would be excellent with broccoli, bell peppers or mushrooms tossed in.

8. Buttermilk Fried Chicken

9. Chicken with 40 Cloves of Garlic

Although 40 cloves of garlic may sound like a lot, this chicken recipe is made in the slow cooker, so the garlic becomes quite mellow as it cooks for a long time. This chicken recipe is moist and tender with sweet garlic flavor.

10. Hawaiian Chicken
