10 Family Approved Dinner Recipes

These tried and true 10 Family Approved Dinner Recipes are meals that my family asks for time and time again.


I know some of you all have to wonder every once in a while if food bloggers actually end up making and serving the recipes that they share on their blogs often or just a few times for recent development and testing and then we post it and are done with it. Well, I am here to tell you all that the answer is BOTH. 

There are definitely recipes- delicious recipes- that I have shared on here that I have only made a handful of times. It isn't that myself and my family didn't like them or that we wouldn't want to eat them again, but for some reason or another those particular recipes just didn't become family favorites. 

But then there are recipes, like these 10 Family Approved Dinner Recipes I am sharing with you all today, that my family asks for over and over again and that appear on my weekly plan more than once a month. Not only are these dinner recipes tried and true, but I know these will be the meals that my children will remember years later and ask for when they come home to visit from college (and probably beyond that)... ;)

We all know that when it comes to making a dinner plan for the week or month that chicken is always a safe go-to option. Pretty much every member of the family loves chicken, and it is usually a budget friendly choice as well. But chicken can get, well... boring.  Especially if you just keep making grilled or breaded chicken breasts week after week. 

I run into this same predicament myself often when trying to plan my family's meal plan each week. So I decided that enough was enough, and I scoured some of my favorite recipe sites and food blogs to find a few new chicken dinner ideas that were not only tasty & different but easy and quick as well. And when I say quick, I am saying that just about all of these chicken dinner recipes can be on your dinner table in 45 minutes or less. 

Whether you are looking to jazz up your usual ho-hum meal plan or just love finding new and delicious ways to prepare chicken, then you are sure to find a recipe (or two or three!) that will soon become a new dinnertime favorite in this collection of 12 Easy Weeknight Chicken Dinners...
