Any time of year, chicken is a key ingredient in family meals. Cheap, easy and not to mention delicious, this succulent meat is so versatile – you just need to know what to do with it!

We like to make this part a little easier. Every month, we trawl through all our chicken recipes to bring you the best recipes to try. Not only do we think these recipes are pretty great, you do too as they’re all the most popular recipes on the whole of goodtoknow this month.

With spring in the air (hopefully) chicken dishes can be given a lovely fresh twist with the addition of a little lemon or asparagus. Hearty and filling salads are also lovely this time of year – especially if you’re looking forward to that summer holiday.

Along with some tasty new ideas, the old favourites are right here. Quick pasta dishes, slower-cooked casseroles and gather-the-family roasts, chicken really can be used for any occasion.
