Global Chicken Recipes for a Family Weeknight Theme Dinner
If you are stuck in a weeknight dinner rut, why not travel the world without leaving your kitchen? These global chicken recipes are a great way to mix things up – simple enough for a school night, but packed with flavour from all over the globe.
Whether you are in the mood for something creamy, spicy, or full of bold seasoning, this list has you covered. And most of them use ingredients you probably already have in the cupboard.
Start in Italy with a comforting creamy Tuscan chicken – rich with garlic, sun-dried tomatoes and spinach. Then head over to India with a proper Indian chicken curry or a fiery Murgh Masala if you fancy a bit more heat.
For something different, the Thai green curry turkey meatballs bring a lovely balance of spice and creaminess – great with rice or noodles. Or go Dutch with Kip Kerrie, a simple curried chicken dish that’s brilliant with rice and peas.

If you like a bit of crunch, the spicy cashew chicken is packed with flavour and quick to throw together. For a taste of Spain, the Spanish chicken casserole is full of smoky paprika and veg – proper warming food.
You can even take a trip to France with chicken in creamy mustard garlic sauce, or keep it close to home with a chicken, ham and leek pie – a British classic.
And if you’re feeling fancy, start with a bit of brandied chicken liver pâté as a rich little appetiser.
So pick a country, grab a pan and bring a bit of global flavour to your weeknight dinner table.
