Chicken dinners

Chicken dinner ideas for the week

Chicken is useful for weekly planning because it works across quick stir-fries, curries, pasta, tray bakes and slower weekend meals. Use this collection to vary flavour and cooking method without reinventing the whole shopping list.

Make the week easier

Vary the format

Mix a curry, pasta, stir-fry or oven dinner across the week so repeated chicken still feels different.

Match the cut to the night

Quick pan meals suit busy evenings, while oven and slow-cooked recipes can work better when you have more time.

Reuse fresh ingredients

Plan recipes that share herbs, vegetables or sauces to reduce half-used ingredients at the end of the week.
