12 Easy Amish Chicken Recipes - Amish Heritage (2024)

In this post, I have compiled a list of twelve of my favorite Amish chicken recipes. These are popular Amish recipes made with chicken that the whole family will enjoy.

Chicken is the ultimate dinnertime staple and possibly the most popular meat in the world. Not only is it easy to cook and affordable, but there are so many ways to prepare it.

And obviously, there are a lot more recipes for Amish chicken (that Amish women use and make for their families) than what I am sharing here. I'll probably add more recipes in the future, but today we're starting with twelve.

Rice Krispie chicken is an absolute favorite and often requested dish in our home.

In this recipe, we dip chicken cutlets or tenderloins in batter and crushed Rice Krispies, and bake them till they are tender and moist on the inside and crispy on the outside.

It's basically homemade chicken strips, and they are a big hit with everyone.

When I was growing up, Amish chicken barbecue dinners were popular for fundraisers in Lancaster County, PA. And it was some of the best barbecued chicken you will ever taste.

This Amish recipe makes finger-licking delicious, moist, and tender grilled chicken that's perfect for a summer barbecue.

Another one of my favorites, this Amish recipe is made with skinless, boneless chicken breasts that are topped with cream soup and buttery Stovetop stuffing.

It's very quick and easy to make. And this moist and tender chicken is a great dinner entrée for any day of the week.

This Amish Baked Chicken Parmesan recipe offers a delightful twist on the traditional Italian-American dish, highlighting Amish cuisine's rustic simplicity and wholesome flavors.

The focus is on the natural goodness of the ingredients, without the need for sauce, making it a perfect entrée with any meal.

Homemade shake-and-bake chicken legs or thighs are a delicious and easy-to-prepare dish that is perfect for any weeknight dinner or family gathering.

This Amish oven-fried chicken recipe features a blend of seasonings, flour, and crumbs that coat the chicken legs, creating a crispy, golden crust that is full of flavor.

Chicken and rice casserole is another very quick and easy-to-make dish featuring chicken thighs over rice with cream of mushroom soup. It's kid-friendly, delicious comfort food.

It's an easy chicken casserole and also a great dish for Sunday lunch since you can bake it at a lower temperature for two hours. Place it into the oven before you leave for church, and lunch will be ready when you get home.

The Amish in Lancaster County have a traditional wedding meal. This Amish chicken and stuffing (chicken/turkey roast, better known as "Roasht") is served at every wedding.

And not only is it served at weddings, but it's also a popular holiday dish.

"Roasht" is typically made with turkey, although it can easily be made with chicken pieces when you're cooking for only a few people.

My mom used to make a giant bowl of stuffing, then she stuffed the turkey with some of it and baked it at a low temperature overnight. The next day she picked the meat off of the bones, cut it up, and mixed it with all the stuffing.

So with one turkey, she made a huge roaster full of "Roasht" to serve a large gathering of people. However, this recipe uses a whole chicken and is cut down to family size.

These Amish chicken croquettes are made with cooked and chopped chicken that is mixed with a thick creamy sauce, shaped into balls, then dipped in eggs and coated in bread crumbs.

And to finish them off (the best part of all), they are deep-fat fried. However, if you're looking for a healthier option, they can be pan-fried or air-fried as well.

It's a great way to use up leftover chicken or turkey from Thanksgiving.

Some of you might think of chicken pot pie as being a chicken pie with crust. But the best chicken pot pie comes from Lancaster, PA.

This brothy PA Dutch chicken pot pie recipe is a uniquely Lancaster County recipe that consists of square homemade pot pie noodles, chicken, and vegetables.It's a brothy comfort food dish with lots of homemade noodle squares.

While it has a lot of the same ingredients as chicken pies, it's a totally different dish.

Chicken Corn Noodle Soup is the ultimate comfort food.

There's just something warm and comforting about chicken broth and egg noodles with chicken and vegetables. At our house, whenever someone isn't feeling well, chicken noodle soup is on the menu.

But we certainly don't wait until we're feeling sick to enjoy this dish. It's great for any night of the week, especially on a cold or rainy day.
