Italian Chicken Recipes

Growing up in New York in an Italian-American family, chicken was the protein we ate the most; it was affordable and easy to cook. We had Italian Chicken Cutlets almost every Monday night, followed by some kind of chicken parm on Tuesdays, like Chicken Parm Sliders.

The reason chicken became such a staple is that so many Italian and Italian-American chicken recipes are made with simple pantry staples like olive oil, garlic, herbs, lemons, white wine, and tomatoes. Without having to shop for any ingredients, we can make most of these chicken recipes in under an hour!

Whether you're looking for a delicious summer classic like Chicken Spiedini or a savory winter dish like Easy Chicken Cacciatore, we have a dish that can solve any craving! These are the dishes I grew up eating and the same ones I make for my family.
