Closet Cooking

Cooking adventures in a small, closet sized, kitchen. - I came to realize that my meals were boring and that I had been eating the same few dishes over and over again for years. It was time for a change! I now spend my free time searching for, creating and trying tasty new recipes in my closet sized kitchen.

Quick and Easy Chicken Dinners

Quick and Easy Chicken Dinners

The best quick and easy chicken dinner recipes that take very little effort and are perfect for busy weeknights!

Chicken is one of my go-to foods for when I want an easy meal, or better yet a quick and easy meal, and that’s because there are so many chicken recipes that are really easy and taste great! Chicken is really versatile with recipes ranging from simple roast chicken (pure comfort food!) to light and yet filling chicken salads and everything in between such as soups, pastas, sandwiches, etc. Since I have been enjoying a lot of easy chicken recipes these last few weeks I thought that I would take the opportunity to gather some of my favourites to share with you! Whether you are looking for a quick weeknight meal or you are looking for an easy meal that will also impress guests you have plenty of tasty options!

    I love your recipes and your website. However the popup ads (ie. Chiquita) across the photographs make it impossible to see the pictures of the recipes and the recipes themselves. I spend more time fighting off the advertisement than reading the recipes. I know advertisements are necessary to support the site, but after the first 25 do you really need another 50?
