Easy Weeknight Dinners: Chicken as the Star of the Show!

This week, I’ve decided to keep things simple in the kitchen with chicken as the main event. Why? Because chicken is versatile, easy to cook, and can be adapted to fit nearly any flavor profile. The best part? By just changing up a few key ingredients each night, I can create a whole week of diverse and delicious meals without any stress.

The ingredients for the week are pictured below minus a tomato and cucumber I gathered from the garden later in the week when I needed it. This will feed my family of 5 for the week with some leftovers!

Here is the meal plan for the week:

Dinner 1: Chicken with lemon pepper, baby potatoes, and broccoli

Dinner 2: BBQ chicken wraps with chips, carrots and dip

Dinner 3: Baked potatoes with fajita chicken

Dinner 4: Chicken pasta

Dinner 5: Quesadillas and Mexican rice

Cooking all your chicken for the week in one night is a great way to save time and ensure you have ready-to-eat meals at your fingertips. We cooked all our meet on the flat top grill but with different flavorings. Divide your chicken into five. You can use your favorite seasonings! Out of the five batches of chicken, one night will be seasoned with lemon pepper, one with BBQ sauce, two batches will be flavored with taco seasoning and one with a seasoning mix I happened to have on hand in the cabinet. You can change up the seasonings however you would like! I am slightly weird about meat so I will freeze my cooked chicken for meals 4 and 5.
