For quick weekend meals, chicken is my most reliable go-to option. It’s cheap, easy to cook, and relatively healthy (subject to preparation, of course), all of which makes it a great base for a filling home-made dinner after a day’s work. Plus, it’s also exceptionally versatile, so there’s no reason why you should get bored of it. This set of recipes, from comfort food to your own mock-takeout, will encourage you to take advantage of that specialness. And, lest you wonder whether they’re worth the effort, all of these can be made and put on the table in less time than it takes to get your favorite pizza delivered.
