Course Main Course. Cuisine Italian. Keyword chicken caprese. Prep Time 10 minutes. Cook Time 20 minutes. Total Time 30 minutes. Servings 4. Calories kcal. Ingredients 2 chicken breasts , skinless and boneless Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil 1 tablespoon butter 1 6 oz. Use a thin, sharp knife to slice the chicken breasts in half lengthwise. Season both sides with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Heat a large oven-proof skillet over medium high heat with the olive oil and butter. Once the butter has melted into the olive oil, add the chicken breasts to the pan, being careful not to crowd. Cook on each side until lightly browned and easily release from the pan, about minutes each. Slather the tops of each chicken breast with the basil pesto, about tablespoons per chicken breast. The simple lemon and garlic sauce would work with whatever greens are in your fridge — like spinach, broccoli florets, or zucchini.
This may look involved, but after a bit of prep — crisping chickpeas, roasting sweet potatoes — it's mostly just assembly. Canned tuna gets a quick upgrade with hot sauce, Dijon, and green onions — piled into whole wheat tortillas. You could also swap in bread, pita pockets, or just eat them as lettuce wraps.
Perfect for meal preppers. You can make these in the oven or on the grill in just about 20 minutes — and thanks to the foil, cleanup is a total breeze. The trinity of weeknight dinners: fast, cheap, and easy. These go from prep to plate in about 20 minutes. Keep the peppers whole, or slice them into bites or "boats" to turn them into kid-friendly finger food. This budget-friendly version takes pantry staples — like black beans and canned corn — and roasts everything on a sheet pan.
Heads up that this one does have to cook for a few hours, so you'll need to plan accordingly. But it's a true drop-and-go dinner — and basically makes itself. Better than takeout — and better for you, too. For extra protein and fiber, swap in soba noodles.
The easy sauce — which includes soy sauce, garlic, and ginger — comes together quickly and packs a ton of flavor. Easy recipes and cooking hacks right to your inbox. On the flip side, a meal that is less than satiating can leave you wanting more and result in reaching for an unhealthy late-night snack even closer to bedtime. Grilled salmon provides omega-3s and protein.
She listed grilled salmon with quinoa and roasted vegetables, and a vegetable bowl with brown rice and tofu as prime examples. Healthy fats can be incorporated by cooking vegetables in extra-virgin olive oil or adding avocado. Consider serving mac and cheese as a side dish rather than the main course. As nice as it is to have fewer dishes to wash, a one-pot dinner can increase your likelihood for reaching for something else later. Kathryn Riner, pediatric dietitian and founder of Healthy Kids Nutrition , encourages people to include more than one food at dinner.
Cut up a few apples and serve milk as a drink, and you have a balanced meal the entire family can enjoy. Other sample meals she recommended are salmon with broccoli and brown rice, and black bean and sweet potato quesadillas made with whole wheat tortillas.
