Easy Dinners

Chicken Breasts with Kale and Butternut Squash

For a hearty but not heavy autumnal dinner of roast chicken and vegetables, we departed from the standard starchy root vegetables by incorporating kale and butternut squash.

Salads

California Chicken Salad with Creamy Avocado Dressing

You can put avocado on just about any salad and call it “California.” We wanted our salad to earn the name with a healthy and hearty chicken salad that paid respect to the Golden State in every bite.

Soups

Hearty Chicken and Cabbage Soup

Assertive aromatics and herbs give cabbage an unexpected star quality in this satisfying chicken soup. It makes for a hearty meal thanks to the addition of creamy red potatoes, ground chicken, and bacon, which we crisped and reserved to use as a topping. Caraway seeds brought out the sweetness of the cabbage, and smoked paprika and fresh thyme added depth and complexity.

Roasted

Skillet-Roasted Chicken Leg Quarters and Potatoes

This recipe delivers a chicken and potatoes dinner in just one skillet in just over an hour. Chicken leg quarters, which are underused (and therefore often priced less than other cuts), are substantial enough for one serving and offer plenty of crispy skin.

Breaded and Fried

Korean Fried Chicken Wings

A thin, crispy exterior and a spicy sweet-salty sauce are the hallmarks of Korean fried chicken. The biggest challenge is preventing the sauce from destroying the crust. Wings offer a high exterior-to-interior ratio for maximum crunch and also cook quickly, so we went with those

Instant Pot, Air Fryer, and Sous Vide

Air-Fryer Tandoori Chicken Thighs

Tandoori chicken depends on intense, dry heat (traditionally supplied by a superhot clay oven) to lightly char chicken pieces that have been marinated in yogurt and spices. While our bake-then-broil approach produces terrific results, we were impressed at how the air fryer produced good tandoori with fewer steps, ideal for a simple dinner for two

Slow Cooker

Slow-Cooker Sweet and Tangy Pulled Chicken

A simple spice mixture and a quick homemade barbecue sauce made it easy to turn slow-cooked bone-in chicken breasts into tangy, silky, shredded chicken— perfect for piling onto buns.

Cooking for Two

French-Style White Bean Stew for Two

Cassoulet, the revered stew from France, is typically composed of garlicky white beans and various meats, including garlic sausage, duck confit, pork shoulder or loin, and sometimes game. For this recipe, we looked to cassoulet as our inspiration for a stew that was both quick to make and perfectly sized for two.
