Weeknight Meals

Baked Feta and Greens With Lemony Yogurt

Warm feta, crispy chickpeas, and wilted hearty greens become a fork-and-knife entrée in about 30 minutes.

Hot Honey Pork Chops

The spicy garlic-honey glaze for the pan-seared pork chops also forms the base of the sauce for the warm escarole-and–white bean salad in this easy one-pan dinner.

Chicken Paillards with Schmaltz Bread Salad

Pounding a skinless, boneless chicken breast to even thickness helps it cook it quickly and evenly. For extra flavor, cook it in rendered chicken fat, then use that same fat to toast croutons for a crispy, delicious topping.

Chicken Teriyaki

Served with a bright, refreshing radish salad, these salty, sweet, and shatteringly crisp glazed thighs will satisfy all your classic chicken teriyaki cravings.

Make-Ahead Crispy Chicken Cutlets

This is hands-down the easiest way to make delicious chicken cutlets—no dredging or frying required. Stash a big batch in the freezer so they're ready to cook at a moment's notice.

Chickpea and Roasted Red Pepper Pantry Tagine

Make a hearty, vegetarian, tagine-inspired dinner in just 20 minutes with only pantry ingredients.

Pantry Pasta Puttanesca

Keep these ingredients stocked in your pantry, and a briny, flavor-packed, classic Italian pasta will always be a dinner option.

Walnut-Crusted Salmon

This quick and easy recipe makes an ideal weeknight dinner. High levels of selenium, magnesium, and vitamin B12 make this dish a nutritional powerhouse.

Coconut Shrimp

Avocado-Miso-Mushroom Bowl

Tossed with a miso and tahini dressing, this spring-evoking grain bowl can be topped with whatever seasonal produce looks irresistible at the market.

Spicy Miso-Tahini Ramen

This super-oishii (“delicious”) spicy ramen bowl is made with basic pantry staples, such as miso paste and tahini, plus Sriracha for spice! I love adding a bit more Sriracha for heat, and topping it all off with a slightly runny soft-boiled egg.

Lemony Asparagus

This simple side dish comes together in just about 5 minutes.

Ramen Noodles With Miso Pesto

Springy ramen noodles and a cilantro-miso sauce bring a welcome twist to a classic pesto recipe.

Creamy Chickpeas With Eggs and Prosciutto

Be sure to pick up extra flatbread to serve with this one-skillet dish. You'll want to soak up every last drop of the rich, flavorful sauce.

Breakfast Grilled Cheese

What's the secret to the silkiest scrambled eggs ever? A dollop of cream cheese stirred in right at the end. Piling them onto a sandwich with melted American cheese takes them even further over the top.

Spicy Dry-Fried Beef

This is a typical Sichuan technique for dry-frying beef. Unlike most meat stir-fries, the beef is not marinated; instead it is stir-fried immediately then cooked for a few minutes longer to intensify the beef flavors and to give give the meat a slightly chewy texture.

Huevos Rancheros with Kefir Crema

Trouble finding kefir? Plain yogurt—or sour cream thinned with a little water or lime juice—works just as well in this hearty Tex-Mex dish.

Lentil and Chicken Soup With Sweet Potatoes

You can turn leftover roast chicken or store-bought rotisserie chicken into a hearty soup in about half an hour. Fresh dill and lemon juice bring a nice dose of brightness.

Chinese Five-Spice Steak with Oranges and Sesame Broccolini

The secret to the deep orange flavor in this simple weeknight dinner is to sear halved oranges next to the steak as it cooks, and then squeeze the caramelized juice all over your plate before digging in.

Cheesy Baked Pasta With Cauliflower

Chopped cauliflower adds earthy sweetness and turns as tender as the pasta in this more substantial version of mac ‘n’ cheese.
