Meal planning doesn’t have to be painful or inflexible. These 10 Easy to Cook Dinners use pre-cooked chicken to simplify meal preparation during the week.
Planning on grilling this weekend? Throw some extra chicken on the grill and save it for one of these recipes during the week. With the chicken already cooked, these recipes take 15-30 minutes to get on the table. Not big on grilling? No problem. Salt and pepper your chicken and bake at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes or until the juices run clear.Â
