A side-salad garnish of carrots, celery and blue cheese pulls it all together. 07 of 17 Spinach & Artichoke Chicken View Recipe Dera Burreson Inspired by artichoke dip, we made a creamy cheese topping to serve on quick-cooking chicken breast cutlets for an oh-so-satisfying meal. 08 of 17 Jerk-Spiced Chicken with Charred Pineapple Salsa View Recipe Jacob Fox Jamaican jerk chicken is traditionally marinated at least overnight and then grilled low and slow for fall-apart tenderness. Here, we coat chicken in store-bought seasoning but cook it in a pan for a faster version. Searing pineapple caramelizes its natural sugars and releases some of its juices—making for a more flavorful salsa that plays beautifully with the seasoning on the chicken. 09 of 17 20-Minute Creamy Chicken Marsala with Prosciutto View Recipe Jacob Fox A bit of prosciutto adds savory flavor to this sauce.

The side of green beans is cooked right in the same pan as the chicken, so this 20-minute easy, healthy dinner is not just a snap to prepare--the cleanup is a cinch too. 15 of 17 Grilled Peach & Brie Smothered Chicken View Recipe This super-fast and healthy smothered chicken tastes best on the deck with a chilled glass of gewürztraminer. The fruity white pairs nicely with the peaches here. 16 of 17 Sicilian Olive Chicken View Recipe This saucy one-skillet chicken dish is full of tomatoes, spinach, olives and capers. Try Kalamata olives in place of the green Sicilians or a combination of both. Serve over whole-wheat egg noodles with a mixed green salad on the side. 17 of 17 Antipasto Baked Smothered Chicken View Recipe We like the touch of heat that pepperoncini give to this briny chicken, but if you really want to turn up the spiciness, swap them for hot cherry peppers.
