When you fancy fuss-free comfort with maximum sauce-to-spoon action, creamy chicken recipes are the answer. I’ve rounded up over 20 tried-and-tested favourites  — think Creamy Chicken Dijon, Stroganoff, Alfredo bakes, cosy casseroles, silky soups and the flakiest pies. I’ve included freshly updated classics and a couple of new additions (hello, Creamy Honey Mustard).

These are the kind of dinners my family ask for on repeat — simple to make, big on flavour, and perfect for busy weeknights or slow Sundays and impressive dishes for date night.. There’s something for everyone!

I LOVE Chicken

I love cooking with chicken because it’s the ultimate weeknight chameleon. It’s high in protein, easy to find, cooks quickly, and happily soaks up whatever flavours I throw at it — from bright lemony pan sauces to cosy, creamy bakes.

Different cuts do different jobs (breasts for speedy one pan dinners, thighs or legs for slow, saucy comfort), and leftovers shred beautifully into soups, pies and pastas. Bonus: the bones make brilliant chicken stock, so nothing’s wasted. It’s reliable, family-friendly, and never boring!

So let’s get into it…
