I’m convinced that chicken is the least photogenic food.  Especially if it’s raw.  This picture of bbq’ed legs isn’t too bad though.

That being said, I love chicken!  It’s so versatile and easy to fix.

You can cook boneless breasts, tenders and thighs from frozen in the oven or slow cooker or grill.

You can bake whole chickens and have a “fancy” meal one night, with plenty left over for a casserole another day.

You can eat it hot, cold, in a salad, in enchiladas, in soup, in stir-fry…on a boat, in a plane, with a goat…

I already know I’m going to have trouble narrowing down a few recipes to share with you.  Wait here while I go dig around for a few favorites… 

Okay, I’m back.  I dug through the 82 chicken recipes I have and here’s what I want to share:

• Homemade Chicken and Dumplings – One of my most popular recipes according to Google searches and also on Tasty Kitchen.
• Smoky Chipotle Chicken Tacos in the Slow Cooker – So easy, but the chipotle peppers make it more special than plain chicken tacos.
• Bowtie Pasta with Feta and Lemon Pepper Chicken – One of the first recipes I made up all by my bitsy, many years ago. It’s still a family favorite.
• Chicken Enchiladas – One of the first dishes I ever learned to cook.  My friend, Kathy taught me to make these ages ago.  The photo isn’t the greatest, because it’s also one of my first blog posts.  Again, it’s still a family favorite.

Now it’s your turn.   Link up any recipe on your blog that uses chicken.  It doesn’t have to be a recent post, just be sure to link directly to your recipe, not just the main page of your blog.  I only ask that you include a link back to Eat at Home in your post.  You can link directly to this post or use the button in the sidebar.
