Chicken is a staple in my kitchen, endlessly versatile and one of the best sources of protein. Over 14 years of blogging, I’ve created countless chicken recipes, and I’ve gathered some of my favourites for you here. Most are simple weeknight dinners, while others are impressive enough for entertaining
My best roast chicken with white wine, herbs and garlic
I have published this recipe in various iterations over the years including using baby chickens and chicken pieces. The pan gravy is so delicious, you can’t get enough of it.
The best roast chicken with Italian sausage
The fennel-infused sausages, bay leaves and sherry are key components that elevate this dish to restaurant level. It’s one of my favourite casual dinner party dishes that is mostly hands-off and essentially a one-pan tray roast. Use your favourite pork sausages if you can’t find good Italian sausages and add a few more fennel seeds. All you need is a blanched green on the side. Or not.
Moroccan chicken & rice with aubergine
Another winning and most delicious one-pan chicken and rice dish. I make this whenever I have aubergines around.
Ottolenghi’s roast chicken and 3 rice salad
This is one of the most delicious chicken salads I have ever tasted and is packed with flavour. I mostly use leftover store-bought rotisserie chicken to make it.
The best-ever chicken pie with bacon, leeks and mushrooms
I adore this easy chicken pie which can be made using a rotisserie chicken. It’s so easy with a golden and flaky puff pastry top. Comfort food at its best.
Roast chicken with orange & ginger
A lip-smackingly delicious flavour combo for this juicy roast chicken recipe. I also made it in my Air Fryer.
Chicken and rice pilaf with orange and spices
I never tire of chicken and rice dishes and here warming spices combine with citrus aromatics to create a flavour-packed one-pan wonder.
Ina Garten’s perfect chicken Parmesan
A crunchy outer crust makes these indulgent schnitzels just so delicious. I serve it with a mixed green salad dressed with a bright lemony dressing for contrast.
Creamy chicken with raised leeks and carrots
This is on the indulgent side with cream added but comfort food to the max. I love to use orange, naartjie or clementine juice in winter.
Chicken kebabs with yoghurt paprika and lemon
An overnight yoghurt-based marinade makes this kebabs succulent and so delicious. I love that they are so healthy too. Serve with an acid-forward Greek salad, tzatziki and pita bread.
Roast baby chickens stuffed with pork and sage
This one is deliciously festive and impressive for entertaining with classic flavours in the stuffing.
Chicken Normandy with ciders, apples and cream
This is a great winter comfort dish where the chicken braises in apple cider, bacon and cream.
Coq au Chardonnay
A twist on a classic coq au Riesling, this delicious creamy braised chicken is good for a weeknight supper or to impress guests.
My healthy veggie-loaded butter chicken curry
I lightened up a butter chicken and packed as many vegetables as I could. This one is a staple weeknight supper.
A classic chicken Marbella
A retro but delicious classic chicken with prunes that I adore.
Vietnamese rice noodle salad with chicken
A flavour-packed nuoc cham dressing brings this healthy salad to life and I have it on repeat in my house
Jamaican jerk chicken
This one is packed with so many interesting flavours that penetrate with an overnight marinade. Utterly delicious.
