Quick and easy dinner ideas 🍋🫶

Dinner can sometimes be draining by the end of a long day. That’s why I love having easy go to recipes for nights that I don’t want to cook, but need something for dinner! It’s super fast easy and most ingredients you already have on hand!

Pasta

Chicken breast

Broccoli

Green beans

Olive oil

Garlic powder

Onion powder

Salt

Pepper

Lemon juice

Boil your pasta and start to cook your cubed chicken breast. For the chicken breast sprinkle olive oil over, add 1 TBS garlic and onion powder. Mix the chicken in the seasoning and olive oil, then cook fully. Tonight I used frozen broccoli and green beans, I boiled water in the kettle and poured it over and let them cook in the boiled water. Once pasta is cooked, drain it. Add the pasta to the skillet, add a little more olive oil and a sprinkle of salt, onion and garlic powder. Slice a lemon in half and squeeze the juice out. Mix it all together and you have an easy meal!

... Read moreWhen looking for fast and easy dinner ideas, it’s essential to focus on simple recipes that require minimal preparation and cook time. This dish, featuring pasta, chicken, and vegetables, exemplifies a quick meal that doesn’t skimp on flavor or nutrition. You can easily customize it based on what you have on hand—you could substitute the chicken with shrimp or tofu for a different protein option. Adding seasonal vegetables like zucchini or bell peppers can elevate the dish, providing added color and nutrients. For even quicker preparation, consider prepping ingredients in advance. Chopping vegetables and marinating proteins a day ahead can drastically cut down on cooking time. Utilizing frozen vegetables is another great shortcut; they are just as nutritious and save time on washing and chopping. A squeeze of fresh lemon juice not only enhances the dish's flavor but also offers a bright freshness that can uplift any meal. This quick dinner is a fantastic choice whether you're cooking for a family or just for yourself. Embrace the joy of cooking without the stress—quick and easy dinner recipes are your best friends on busy weeknights!
