Well, look no further for perfect weeknight meals than these 13 chicken breast recipes! You can whip up any of these in minutes and your family will just eat them up. Literally.

1. Honey Garlic Chicken Stir-Fry

We glazed sizzling bites of chicken with fresh broccoli and carrots in a sweet and savory Asian-inspired stir-fry sauce. This speedy weeknight dinner is healthier and tastier than takeout — and since it’s ready to eat in just 30 minutes, it’s also faster than waiting for the delivery guy.

2. Creamy Lemon Parmesan Chicken

When you think of chicken Parm, odds are you imagine a breaded cutlet covered in red sauce and paired with pasta. And while this is an amazing way to enjoy chicken Parmesan, it’s not the only way! These lightly breaded cutlets in a creamy, tangy lemon sauce are our favorite way to re-imagine an Italian classic.

3. Chicken Fajita Pasta

Craving Tex Mex tonight? You don’t have to order takeout, not with this chicken and pasta recipe! We’ll admit, chicken and pasta probably don’t scream traditional Mexican food, but with this spicy kick, you’ll feel like you’re enjoying the real thing right at home.

4. Pizza-Stuffed Chicken

Who doesn’t love all things pizza? Avoid the takeout price tag with this homemade twist: pizza-stuffed chicken. These juicy chicken breasts stuffed with mozzarella, pepperoni, and marinara sauce might just replace your regular pizza order.

5. Margarita Grilled Chicken

One of the best aspects of chicken is how it tastes amazing fried, baked, or grilled. Some options are healthier than others, but if done correctly, they’re all delicious. Naturally, if you’re going healthy you’re going to opt for grilled. Our favorite way to enjoy grilled chicken is with this margarita twist. A little tequila on your chicken never hurt anyone.

6. Rosemary Portobello Chicken

Not everyone loves mushrooms (my own mom can’t even stand the sight of them!) but there are some of us who go nuts for their earthy flavor and almost creamy consistency. If you’re a mushroom maniac, this flavorful rosemary Portobello chicken, draped in a mushroom sauce, is a must-try.

7. Pimento Basil Cream Chicken
