What side dish recipes go well with chicken?
One of the most popular side dishes to go with chicken is potatoes. Roasted, mashed, or fried potatoes are always a tasty and simple side to put together that complements the flavor of chicken meat. For roasted potatoes, add rosemary and garlic for an extra flavor boost or a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese. Mashed potatoes are creamy, comforting, and easy to make with just potatoes, butter, and cream. Or, for a crispy alternative, fry up some cubes of potatoes with garlic, salt, and pepper.
Another classic side for chicken is a green salad, such as Caesar, or a simple garden salad. The freshness of the greens pairs nicely with the heartiness of the chicken. And for a little bit of extra flavor, adding some toasted nuts or crumbled cheese on top takes the salad to the next level.
Vegetables are another great accompaniment for a chicken dinner. Roasted or grilled asparagus, steamed broccoli, or sautéed spinach are all flavorful and nutritious choices. To give them an extra kick, try drizzling them with a bit of olive oil and lemon juice or adding a sprinkle of herbs.
Finally, don’t forget about the grains! Grains like quinoa, bulgur, or couscous make amazing chicken side dishes. Try adding some diced vegetables for a little extra flavor or a dollop of pesto for a tasty finishing touch.
