About Us

Hi, and welcome! I’m so excited you’re here. My name is Becky Hardin. I’m a mom of two living in the midwest. Our family is so grateful you’ve decided to stop by!

I started one of the most successful food blogs on the web, The Cookie Rookie, in 2013. It was a fun and exciting ride to create recipes for a large and diverse audience and I knew I wanted to do more!

After being featured on tv news and shows such as Home and Family, and featured in publications such as The Today Show, Taste of Home, The Kitchn, People Magazine, Feast Magazine, and more, I decided to branch out and start this more focused site. We focus on my favorite type of recipe, chicken!

I founded Easy Chicken Recipes in 2018. Now we have a team of recipe developers that love to create quality chicken recipes all day every day. Each recipe is tested and tested until it’s just right and ready to be made by your family.

10 Ingredients or Less

Here on Easy Chicken Recipes you’ll find SIMPLE recipes, everything from dinners to brunch. I strive to keep cooking engaging and delicious, while fast and easy. If you’re wanting to learn how to cook, or just want some quick meals to have in your back pocket, this is the place for you.

Each recipe on the site has 10 ingredients or less, with a few exceptions that are family favorites (and worth the smidge of extra time). In the 10 ingredients, we often don’t count water, broth, salt, pepper, or oil. We love to create really easy chicken recipes, and I hope you’ll give them a try!

Be sure to subscribe to our emails to be the first to know when we hit publish on a new recipe, and follow us on Facebook and Instagram for even more chicken favorites! You can contact me anytime at hardincreative@gmail.com.
