School starts in two days here, and I’ve been thinking a lot about what I’m going to make for dinner once all the after-school activities start kicking in. So, to help me and you out, I’ve put together a huge collection of Easy Healthy Back-To-School Chicken Recipes with the help of my blogger friends that we can all refer to during the school year.
Chicken is one of the most versatile proteins – you can roast it, grill it, braise it, and use it in place of ground beef in almost any recipe. Leftover chicken (grilled or roasted) can also be repurposed and made into another meal.
I’ve organized this collection of recipes by cooking technique to make it easier for you to pick and choose what works best for you.
Note: Most of these recipes are gluten-free or gluten-free adaptable (substitute gluten-free breadcrumbs or panko crumbs for regular breadcrumbs/panko crumbs; gluten-free flour mix for regular flour). If you have any recipes you want to try that you’re unsure of, just leave me a comment and I’ll try to help convert it to gluten-free for you.
