52 Weeknight Chicken Recipes
I have been blogging for 2.5 years and only two weeks ago dove into the “recipe round-up” realm of food blogs. Two things about recipe roundups – 1: they are a lot of work to put together but 2: they are pretty awesome, and people love them.
So with all of the chicken talk this week, I decided to go ahead and put together another one with (duh) chicken recipes as the theme. 52 recipes- one for each week of the year – all shared from some of yours and my favorite bloggers. Most of them are fairly simple, no-fuss recipes that can be made any night of the week. But I picked certain ones keeping in mind busy schedules and family-friendly flavors. Almost every family eats chicken and almost every cook is always looking for ways to reinvent the protein-packed poultry. I hope you enjoy!

Tremendous recipe roundup, Cassie! Definitely will come in handy for those busy weeknight meals. I can personally attest to how much fun these are to pull together and how people love them as well as agree they’re a lot of work. (Working on my second one now.) Thanks for sharing, girl. Pinned!
This is awesome, awesome, awesome! Definitely pinning and probably going to make my way through the list and pin them all individually as well! Thanks for including my recipe. xo
NICELY done Cassie. So many people can benefit from this. Love!

I love recipe roundups! This one’s great – it can always be tough to decide what to eat during the week, especially when life gets busy. So helpful! I know from experience that recipe roundups can take far more time than making a recipe, so big kudos and thanks to you for putting your hard work into it!
GAH! Thank you so much for adding my recipe in there girl – I am SO pinning this whole thing because we need all the chicken ideas we can get!

Oh my word, these all sound fabulous. How’ve you been Cassie? I feel like I haven’t seen you around social media much but it’s probably me because I am only one IG lately these days. Hope you are well!
