Chicken and Mushroom in Creamy Sauce with chicken breasts, mushrooms and heavy cream — France recipe

🇫🇷FranceAdvanced

Meat Dishes

Chicken and Mushroom in Creamy Sauce

Chicken cutlets seared until golden, then a pan sauce built in the same skillet — mushrooms, garlic, a splash of white wine, chicken broth, heavy cream, parmesan. The sauce is what this is really about. Chicken breast is lean and mild on its own; the sauce is where all the flavor lives. Thirty-five minutes, one pan.

Chicken Burrito Bowls with chicken, rice and black beans — USA recipe

🇺🇸USAAdvanced

Meat Dishes

Chicken Burrito Bowls

A burrito bowl is the filling of a burrito served without the tortilla: everything goes into a bowl in layers instead of being rolled. This one starts with chicken breast rubbed in chilli powder, cumin and smoked paprika, sits on cilantro-lime rice, and is finished with black beans, corn, pico de gallo and avocado. Chicken and beans together push protein above 45 g a serving, and the whole thing takes 35 minutes.

Chicken Karaage with chicken, soy sauce and ginger — Japan recipe

🇯🇵JapanMedium

Meat Dishes

Chicken Karaage

Japan's much-loved fried chicken: bite-sized thigh pieces marinated in soy, ginger, garlic, and sake, dredged in potato starch, and double-fried to a pale, craggy, glass-crisp shell. The potato starch and the two-stage fry are what set it apart from any other fried chicken, and a squeeze of lemon at the table is all it needs.

Chicken Parmesan with chicken breasts, crushed tomatoes and panko breadcrumbs — USA recipe

Meat Dishes

Chicken Parmesan

Chicken Parmesan is an Italian-American plate of crisp chicken cutlets, bright tomato sauce, mozzarella, and Parmesan. The best version keeps the crumb audible under the cheese instead of burying it in sauce. Serve it with spaghetti for a full restaurant-style dinner, or with a sharp green salad when you want the cutlet to stay the main event.

Chicken Tagine with Chermoula with chicken thighs, cilantro and preserved lemons — Morocco recipe

🇲🇦MoroccoAdvanced

Meat Dishes

Chicken Tagine with Chermoula

Chermoula is a Moroccan marinade — raw herbs, garlic, cumin, lemon, oil — and it does more work here than the tagine itself. The chicken sits in it overnight if you have time, or two hours if you don't. Either way, something changes in the meat. Then it goes into the pot with preserved lemon, olives, and onion, and cooks low and slow until it falls off the bone. No tagine pot required. A wide, heavy pan with a lid does the same job.

Chicken Tikka Masala with chicken thighs, yogurt and Kashmiri chilli powder — India recipe

🇮🇳IndiaAdvanced

Meat Dishes

Chicken Tikka Masala

Yogurt-marinated chicken thighs grilled until charred, then simmered in a spiced tomato-and-onion sauce with cream. The two-stage process is the point: first the tikka — small pieces of chicken cooked hard over direct heat — then the masala, the spiced sauce they finish in. The char on the chicken is not incidental. It sits in contrast to the cream, and without it you have a decent tomato curry rather than tikka masala. The sauce needs properly browned onion, bloomed spices, and enough cooking time for the tomatoes to lose their sharpness.

Chili con Carne with ground beef, kidney beans and tomato — USA recipe

Meat Dishes

Chili con Carne

Ground beef simmered with tomatoes, kidney beans and a short list of spices. The tomato paste goes in first and cooks dry — that single step is what separates a flat chili from one with actual depth.
