What should I serve with chicken recipes?

Chicken recipes work well with crispy fries, rice, salads, slaws, tortillas, sauces, and fresh sides. Try Crispy Baked Potato Fries or Crispy Sweet Potato Fries with fried chicken, sandwiches, wings, and tenders. For lighter sides, use salads, slaws, salsas (Salsa Roja/Salsa Verde), guacamole, tzatziki, hummus, rice, or warm flatbreads depending on the style of chicken.

Are chicken recipes good for meal prep?

Yes. Chicken recipes are good for meal prep when you keep sauces, toppings, bread, tortillas, and fresh vegetables separate until serving. Rice bowls, burrito bowls, shawarma bowls, baked chicken, grilled chicken, chicken thighs, chicken breast, and chicken pasta components can usually be cooked ahead and assembled later so the texture stays fresh.
