32 Easy Ground Chicken Recipes To Add To Your Rotation (2024)

Extra crispy on the outside and cheesy on the inside, these tacos are so much fun to make and eat. Putting cheese directly in your skillet might sound wrong, but it works! Use a nonstick skillet and give it time to start crisping before messing with it.

In our attempt to copy the fan favorite from P.F. Chang's, we flavored ground chicken with hoisin sauce (a fermented bean paste that gives the chicken the quintessential Chinese-American flavor), soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, sriracha, and sesame oil. Water chestnuts add a nice crunch here too.

Harissa is spicy chili paste that adds a ton of flavor to any dish. Here, we add it to meatballs and red sauce for some extra heat, and we love to serve these as is or over rice for an easy dinner. Spice not your thing? Try our garlic butter meatballs instead.

We here at Delish love dumplings of all kinds. (See June’s boiling dumplings, for example, with its homemade wrapper.) But if you want something that’s a little less work intensive (and you love using your air fryer), this recipe is all yours.

Cheesy, savory enchiladas that have a super green sauce sound like a project, but this one takes a shortcut but delivers homemade flavor. The major “hack” here is using jarred salsa verde but punching up the flavor (and nutrients!) by adding a whole bunch of cilantro, fresh garlic, and jalapeños. It gives it a made-from-scratch taste but in a fraction of the time.

These chicken patties are seasoned with smoked paprika and topped with crunchy, bright coleslaw to really give beef burgers a run for their money.

Flavored with cilantro, oregano, and a tablespoon of chopped chipotle chiles in adobo sauce, these meatballs are packed with smoky, slightly spicy flavor. They're snack-sized for a reason: Once you pop, you won’t be able to stop. But they’re just as good tucked inside a taco with avocado or smashed on a toasted bun.

Filled with fresh herbs and aromatics, laab is the national dish of Laos and has evolved throughout history through neighboring countries. Spicy and citrusy, laab is great served in a lettuce wrap or alongside steamed rice.

Sink your teeth into this spin on chicken Parm. The ground chicken patties simmer in marinara for a burger that's saucy and and cheese—and is so much easier to pull off than the Italian classic.

We think everything can be improved by just adding meatballs. Here, they turn a soup into a legit meal, and don't worry, we added even more cheese. Gruyère goes into the meatballs and then the whole thing gets topped with another layer before serving. And of course, there's plenty of caramelized onions.
