If chicken is a big part of your diet, new ideas on chicken recipes are always welcome.--Editor

All you need is chicken and some basic ingredients you most likely have in your refrigerator and cabinets and you're ready to create your next best chicken dinner. And with a little planning, you can even create healthy chicken recipes, too.

The internet is an incredible resource to find a tasty chicken recipe that will keep your family raving about your out-of-the-world cooking skills. It doesn't matter what chicken cut you have in your freezer, because there are hundreds of recipes for chicken breasts, legs, thighs, wings, and the whole chicken. Because chicken is a very nutritious food, providing your body with high-quality protein, B vitamins, and phosphorus, most chicken recipes are healthy chicken recipes. The exception of course is fried chicken.

To find your next great-tasting chicken recipe, first find out what you have in your refrigerator and start searching for a recipe that includes those ingredients and is one that will make your mouth water. There are chicken appetizers, chicken casseroles, pasta with chicken dishes, chicken salads and salads with chicken, wonderful chicken wok dishes, chicken sandwiches and wraps, homemade chicken soups and stews, and chicken slow cooker recipes.

You don't even need a cookbook anymore. You'll also find baked, fried, and roasted chicken recipes, and great barbecue and grilling ideas. How about chicken and spicy sausage and hot peppers with pasta, or mini white chicken pizzas? Either sounds great for a quick summer lunch.

With so many scrumptious chicken recipes at your fingertips, vow to never again prepare that same old boring chicken dish, unless you want to, of course. A change of pace, though, will do you good, in more ways than one.

If you're in the mood to spice things up a bit, go to Mexican or Chinese cuisine, with an assorted collection of tasty chicken recipes with Mexican flavors or Asian themes including the tortilla club sandwich, chicken fajitas, chicken and rice burritos, or chicken teriyaki rolls.
