Tired of the same-old, same-old chicken? It’s easy to fall into a rut with this lean protein powerhouse. Luckily, our Test Kitchen experts are here to help you get in touch with your more creative side with six easy-peasy ways to take your chicken dinner to the next level.
Oven-fry it.
Cook up crispy chicken without the frying mess by dipping tenders or breasts into flour first, then egg, then breadcrumbs, says the Test Kitchen experts. You can also kick up the flavor by adding Hidden Valley® Original Ranch® Seasoning Shaker to the flour or egg wash.
Get out your sheet pan.
Toss some mustard-glazed chicken on a pan, add potatoes and root vegetables, and you've got yourself a one-pan meal.
Stir-fry it.
A jar of salsa, a can of black beans, and stir-fried chicken slices bring this dish to your table in about 30 minutes.
Make a pizza.
Seriously, who doesn’t love pizza—especially when it’s buffalo chicken style? Top store-bought dough with sauce and shredded chicken, then finish with Hidden Valley® Original Ranch® Seasoning Shaker.
Take it outside.
Let cubed chicken marinate in a Greek yogurt mix for 15 minutes. Then, thread the cubes onto skewers and fire up the grill.
Cook it slowly.
Chop carrots, celery, and chicken breasts and plop them into your slow cooker for this super-creamy version of pot pie. Pro tip: Add puff pastries as a garnish, or simply serve with toasted bread.
