It’s a classic and for a good reason. This delicious Greek chicken souvlaki is perfect on the grill but can also easily be made indoors with a skillet or grill pan.

This chicken walnut salad can be eaten on toast or a cracker but can also easily be transformed into a super easy evening meal. Just add additional vegetables and you’re good to go.

13. Sticky Chicken from the Slow Cooker
Another sticky chicken recipe! I must be a fan of anything sticky. Haha. This time it’s made from the slow cooker and again; so good!
14. Quinoa Salad with Chicken and Melon
While you can use chicken in just about anything you make, I love also adding it to simple salads such as this quinoa salad with chicken and summery melon. I love the combination of sweet and salty here.
15. Tomato Curry with Zucchini Noodles
The funny thing about this tomato curry is that I had kilo’s of tomatoes leftover after a shoot and this tomato curry was the perfect way to use them all up. It was more or less a try out but it turned out so much better than I had expected!

Normally a gado gado bowl is completely vegetarian but for this paleo version (with an almond based peanut sauce) I thought adding chicken would be a good idea.
