For a quick weekend meal, chicken is my most reliable standby. It's cheap, easy to prepare and relatively healthy (of course, depending on how it's prepared), all of which make it a great base for a filling home-cooked dinner after a day at work. Plus, it's extremely versatile, so there's no reason you'll ever get bored with it. From comfort food to home-cooked meals, this collection of recipes will encourage you to take advantage of that trait. And so you don't have to wonder if it's worth the trouble, they can all be made and on the table in less time than it takes for delivery to your favorite pizza place.
