Coming up with ideas for dinner every night, let alone trying to spice up your regular rotation of chicken recipes, is no easy task — especially for busy parents. But rather than simply serving up the same old chicken dinner, Yahoo Life and Walmart have you covered with five different and delicious ways to prepare this popular poultry.
Walmart's new Pickup & Delivery service makes it super-easy to get all the ingredients you need (and anything else for that matter — batteries, gifts, socks, the list goes on and on...). You can pick up your order at your local store for free (there's a $35 minimum) — a Walmart associate will even load the bags straight into your trunk!
You can also pay $7.95 for same- or next-day delivery or $10 for Express delivery and your stuff will arrive in two hours or less. You'll find the same low prices as if you shopped in store too.
Need more incentive? Right now you can score $10 off your first order with code WOWFRESH ($50 minimum).
Navigating the site is easy — it’s broken down into categories, highlighting specialty items like coffees. There’s a search bar if you want to get right to it, and it quickly finds your item and those similar so you can comparison shop.
And don't worry about freshness. Even if you order in advance, your items are hand-picked the same day. Walmart's Pickup & Delivery associates actually go through 'academy training' prior to being certified pickers, so basically they're going to get you the good stuff. There's a guarantee too; if you’re unhappy with any of your items, you can let Walmart know and get a refund.

The secret to these extra crunchy baked chicken fingers is lightly toasting the panko bread crumbs ahead of time, before dipping the chicken in the mix. Top it all off by whipping up an easy, 3-ingredient spicy mustard honey dipping sauce.
