3 quick dinner ideas with chicken breasts

Good Food team

Take two chicken breasts and use them in three simple and speedy dinner recipes, from nutty chicken salad to barbecue chicken and piri-piri chicken pitta pockets.

Chicken breasts are not only affordable, but also a highly versatile food. This lean white meat provides a source of protein and is quick to cook, making it a convenient midweek meal ingredient.

Team two chicken breasts with just three other ingredients and you can enjoy a tasty dinner in no time. Our nutty chicken grain salad makes a light yet filling meal, and any leftovers can be popped in a lunchbox for work or school the next day. The mild flavour of chicken breasts means they work well with a range of strong sauces – try our mouthwatering BBQ chicken with blue cheese and sweet potato for a tangy flavour sensation, or get a spicy hit with some quick piri-piri chicken pitta pockets.
