It offers full-on, from-scratch comfort (we can do better than easy chicken and biscuits with cream of chicken soup), but it’s both lightened up and sped up where possible.

Easy Chicken Recipes For Two With Few Ingredients

5 Star Review “ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! It’s warm. It’s comforting. It’s HEALTHY. I was VERY happy to eat chicken and biscuits and feel great about it. We scraped our bowls clean!” — Victoria —

Here are just a few of the reasons why this chicken and biscuits recipe is worth a spot on your dinner table this week:

(Crockpot Chicken and Dumplings, Stovetop Chicken Dumpling Soup, and Instant Pot Chicken and Dumplings recipes provide a similar crockpot chicken and biscuits vibe.)

Honey Garlic Chicken Recipe

The best part? Like many of the other delicious recipes you’ll find here, it can be on your table in just over an hour!

Cut this recipe time even further by swapping in precooked chicken or leftover chicken made with one of these easy methods (or use store-bought rotisserie chicken):

To take this casserole next level, follow the biscuit recipe suggestion of adding cheddar cheese. It will melt a little inside the biscuits and be super scrumptious.

Greek Sheet Pan Chicken

Not a fan of mushrooms? You can leave them out or swap them for a chopped medium onion and celery for another dimension of flavor.

The filling can be prepared ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for 3 days or frozen for up to 3 months (let thaw overnight in the refrigerator). The biscuit batter can be refrigerated and stored separately up to 1 day ahead.

It’s important to me that you feel like you can regularly prepare healthy meals that don’t demand too much of your time and that you genuinely relish eating.

Healthy Slow Cooker Teriyaki Chicken

To make the recipe vegetarian, substitute an additional 2 cups of chopped vegetables for the chicken. (You could also make my Vegetarian Pot Pie instead.)

Yes, you can swap the cooked chicken in this simple chicken and biscuits recipe for cooked turkey instead. (Turkey fans, don’t miss my scrumptious Turkey Pot Pie too.)

No, this recipe is plenty flavorful and moist without any type of sauce or gravy. (If you’d like to know what you can serve over biscuits, use my Mushroom Gravy over plain biscuits instead.)

Quick And Easy Chicken Dinners For Two

If it isn't a Monday when I'm staring in the freezer at two frozen chicken breasts, then it's a Tuesday. Or a Wednesday or a Thursday; you get the idea.

I frequently buy a pack of chicken breasts, but as a family of two, I find myself freezing the remaining portion of the package. I use the Food Saver system to wrap up the chicken and seal it airtight for longterm storage.

While we're technically a family of three, my toddler only eats 1 tablespoon of meat, every 3rd day and only when it's raining. So yes, I still cook for two even though we're a family of three.

Chicken Recipes For Two

These recipes use all types of chicken: chicken breasts, chicken thighs, bone-in, skin-on chicken, boneless skinless chicken, and even ground chicken. I also have a recipe for a whole roasted chicken and 3 ways to use it.

Two chicken breasts seared in a skillet, plus a pan sauce made with chicken broth, butter, lemon and capers. If you're weird about capers, leave them out and call this lemon butter chicken. I serve it over spaghetti because it makes extra sauce. One of my all-time favorite chicken dinners for two.

I love this one-pan chicken dinner for two! My toddler loves bell peppers, so this is an easy sell for her. Bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs are one of my favorite cuts of chicken because they stay moist and get a great crust in a cast-iron skillet .

Healthy Chicken Breast Recipes

Quickly becoming my favorite dinner, my easy method for frying small pieces of chicken coated in a sweet honey garlic sauce. Plus, broccoli roasts right on the pan, so it's a sheet pan meal.

The minute it's chilly outside, I start making this recipe. It takes about an hour from start to finish, but the reward of creamy chicken and cornmeal dumplings is so very worth it.

Since we're on the path of creamy chicken comfort, I also have a recipe for Creamy Chicken Pot Pie for two, topped with my homemade puff pastry .

Oven Baked Lemon Chicken

I became addicted to the combo of raspberry and chipotle when I had it in a black bean dip at a small Kansas restaurant. This chicken breast recipe captures all of those flavors in one dish.

My all-time favorite meal to bring to someone who just had a baby, or someone who needs help getting dinner on the table. It packs up nicely into an easy-to-deliver package for leaving on porches.

This is my method for roasting a whole chicken. In a household of two, you'll have plenty of leftover shredded chicken to make more recipes later in the week. This is one of the chicken dinners for two that keeps on giving: make it once and use the leftovers later in the week.

Healthy & Simple Canned Chicken Recipes

All the delicious flavors of Indian Butter Chicken from above, but made in a fraction of the time in the Instant Pot! Browse all of my Instant Pot Mini recipes .

I took Ina's famous Engagement Chicken and turned it into a creamy pasta dish. This method for melting cream cheese on hot pasta has become my absolutely favorite way to enjoy creamy pasta. SO easy, too!

I'm from Texas, so I make a mean pan of enchiladas. True Texans will point out that real enchiladas are made with corn tortillas, not flour, but I like how soft flour tortillas get in the oven. Plus the 2-ingredient sauce on top is the best flavor combo!

Quick And Easy Healthy Chicken Recipes

These apple chicken burgers are so fun because I use half of the apple in the burger for moisture, and the other half in the tangy creamy slaw on top! I use a ½ pound of ground chicken to make these burgers, but feel free to double the recipe to make more than 2 burgers.

Quick

If you're not up for my version of chicken pot pie with a puff pastry lid, then my chicken pot pie filling over toast is just as good. It might be lazy, but it's definitely delicious!

This chicken salad with lemon aioli, pistachios and dates is my favorite thing to grab at Whole Foods, and I finally made my own version at home!

Easy Chicken Dinners You'll Want To Make Forever

Along with a recipe for making real French fries at home (that starts in cold oil and only requires ONE fry time, YES I AM FOR REAL), these chicken burgers are punchy with cornichons, Dijon and creamy Brie on top.

Hardly a recipe, more of a method for pounding chicken, coating it and quick-frying it. The jarred pasta sauce and melted mozzarella on top is just a bonus.

It's hard to believe I made this recipe before I had a kid, but these chicken fingers coated in crushed graham crackers are insanely delicious! And so very kid-friendly!

Air Fryer Chicken Breast

Since we're talking about fried chicken, let's really talk about it! Whenever I fry chicken, I like to start it in a sweet tea bath on Friday and fry it on Sunday. Probably the most decadent of the chicken dinners for two here, but so very worth it.

Another amazing way to use bone-in skin-on chicken breasts. The flavor combo is lemon and rosemary is so classic, and I've always got some rosemary growing in the garden.

The carrots are glazed in apple cider, too, and they cook right in the same pan! This one-pan chicken recipe for two is so simple!
