I don't know about you but I am a chicken lover. I feel like we always make some sort of chicken recipe and I am not sad about it. There are definitely a few recipes that we always make on repeat because we love them so much, they are all family favourites and perfect for weeknight dinners as they are all super easy and fast.
I want to share my family's favourite chicken recipes with you today and hopefully you will love them as much as we do.
This blog post is all about favourite chicken recipes
