Get the recipe: Ranch Chicken
“To replace a ranch seasoning packet with homemade, add 2 teaspoons dried parsley, 1.5 teaspoons garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon onion powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, and a squeeze of lemon juice, if available.” —Laurel Randolph, editor, Simply Recipes

Simple Recipes / Coco Morante
Get the recipe: Chicken Scarpariello
“I’ve seen people use red wine vinegar, red or white wine vinegar, lemon juice, or, my favorite, a little bit of bottled pickled pepper brine. Since you’re already adding peppers to the dish, adding a little bit of the brine is convenient.” —Coco Morante, Simply Recipes contributor
Get the recipe: Chicken Fried Rice
“Rice has a tendency to stick to the pan, so make sure to use a wok or pan with a non-stick surface. I often prepare stir-fries in a seasoned carbon steel wok, but a cast iron or Teflon-coated pan would also work.” —Lisa Lin, Simply Recipes contributor

Get the recipe: Skillet Chicken Divan
“This is a delicious new version of an old recipe I loved as a child in the 1950s. The oldest version I could find, which was in a community cookbook before frozen vegetables of any kind were readily available, called for green peas. My 1960 edition of Joy of Cooking calls for broccoli or asparagus. I think it would also be great with mushrooms or spinach.” —Jan, Simply Recipes reader

Get the recipe: Mediterranean Chicken Marinade
“Adding herbs to this marinade is optional, but they really take the flavor up a notch. Oregano, rosemary, and thyme are all great in this marinade, fresh or dried, alone or combined.” —Sheela Prakash, Simply Recipes contributor
Get the recipe: How to boil chicken
“Don’t throw away the broth!” This method results in a lightly seasoned chicken broth that can be used in place of chicken broth in other recipes, as a cooking liquid for rice and other grains, or even just drunk!” —Emma Christensen, General Manager, Simply Recipes

Get the recipe: Chicken Marengo
“Serve each dish with a slice of lemon next to it and let everyone add as much as they like for a bright, tart finish.” —Coco
Get the recipe: Lemon Chicken
“Don’t like skin? Not everyone does, but if you can, cook your chicken with the skin on. Not only does it keep the meat from drying out, it also allows the chicken to soak up the flavor of the skin as it cooks.” —Elise Bauer, Founder, Simply Recipes

Simple Recipes / Sarah Haas
Get the recipe: 4-ingredient Ranch Chicken Breast
“One of my favorite tips is to remove some of the marinade before adding the raw protein. Because the marinade never comes into contact with the raw meat, it’s safe to mix it with mayonnaise and use it as a ranch sauce.” —Sara Haas, Simply Recipes contributor
Get the recipe: Classic Baked Chicken
“Cut about 1/2 a dozen red potatoes into chunks, put salt and pepper in the bottom of a roasting pan, spread the potatoes out somewhat evenly, sprinkle pepper on top, and add the chicken. The potatoes get soaked in all the delicious chicken juices, the chicken gets crispy from all the heat circulating, and the potatoes are amazing.” —Craig, Simply Recipes reader
