11 All-Time Best Healthy, Easy Chicken Recipes
Very Best Healthy Recipes Series: Part 9
~ Easy chicken recipes are a must-have for every busy cook. And hey there, busy cook – today’s your lucky day! We’ve gathered some of the all-time most popular healthy, easy chicken recipes other food bloggers have ever posted. These recipes are all total winners – so much inspiration for quick chicken dinners your whole family will love! ~
And with these healthy, easy chicken recipes … everyone’s a winner!
I once read about another food blogger, who’d used the “winner, winner” line in one of her own posts, and was offended when a reader told her it was a totally outdated phrase nobody said anymore.
One after another, people piped up and vowed that they still said it all.the.time! Me, too. It’s a common exclamation in my house, for any number of reasons that rarely have anything at all to do with chicken.
Interesting side note: Do you know where the phrase comes from? I had no idea! (Thanks, Google …)
Apparently, it dates back several decades to a time when most Vegas table bets were a standard $2, and if you won, you’d have just enough moolah to splurge on the casino’s special chicken dinner that cost just under (you guessed it …) $2. And really, when you’re in Vegas, what could be better than winning a chicken dinner? (Don’t answer that.)
But you know why these chicken dinners are truly winners, don’t you?
Yeah – it’s because these chicken recipes are all easy, nutritious … and among the most popular healthy recipes other bloggers have ever posted!
You’ve got the drill down by now, since this is #9 in our Very Best Healthy Recipes Series: We polled hundreds of other bloggers, asking them to share their one, absolute most popular healthy recipe. From there, we whittled, and narrowed, and chose the best of the best. Favorite breakfasts … and snacks … and desserts (still to come) … we’ve got you covered all day long with the top recipes our blogging buddies have ever created.
And today is chicken day! Winner, winner, for sure!
From baked chicken to chicken casseroles, skillet chicken to slow cooker chicken, chicken fajitas to a unique and veggie-loaded chicken stir-fry … when it comes to healthy, easy chicken recipes, this list is chock-full of mouthwatering ideas you’ve just gotta try next!
And you don’t even need to head to Vegas.
Hey there, winner … today really is your lucky day!

Although we created this Very Best Healthy Recipes series to spotlight the top healthy recipes other bloggers have ever created, I hope you’ll indulge us a little and allow us to share our all-time most popular recipe, too.
Here at Two Healthy Kitchens, we’ve posted quite a few chicken recipes through the years. Some of our most consistently popular are our Easy Chicken Parmesan Wraps, our Crock-Pot Chicken Caesar Sandwiches, and our Rotisserie Chicken Noodle Soup.

Tried this last night. It was great. Added onions. Cooked potatoes and green beans first, then the chicken and tomatoes. Marinade over it all, just like the recipe.
Thanks so much for taking the time to leave a sweet comment, Kelly! I’m so glad you enjoyed one of the recipes we shared! 😀 ~Amy
