Weeknight Meals

Instant Pot Turkey Chili Verde

Here’s a lean, green chili that still packs some spicy heat!

Instant Pot Pork Chops

These pork chops are a fantastic way to take advantage of fall flavors. If you don’t have pumpkin pie spice, you can substitute 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg, and 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger. Or, you can just skip the spice mixture and add a second cinnamon stick.

Blissed-Out Crispy Cheesy Broccoli Gratin

When you cook broccoli gratin on a sheet pan, every single morsel gets an ample coating of crunch.

Chicory Salad with Honey-Mustard Vinaigrette

This sweet-sharp vinaigrette pairs well with the bitter chicories, but feel free to use another sturdy green if you like.

Gia's Mushrooms and Egg

This dish is so simple, but I would award it numerous stars and accolades. Just find excellent mushrooms, really good eggs, some aromatics, and a tiny bit of spice, and you have a beauty of a dish.

Mom's Stuffed Peppers

Give this American comfort food classic an Italian-American twist with ground beef, Parmesan, basil, and tomato sauce.

Olive Oil–Confit Chicken With Cipolline Onions

What happens when you cook with a lot of oil? Magic. Because oil conducts heat much more efficiently than air, foods that are confited in it, like these chicken thighs, come out incredibly moist and infused with the oil’s flavor.

Pork Chops with Celery and Almond Salad

Instead of serving everyone individually, cook two giant pork chops (perfumed with garlic and thyme), then slice them up and serve family-style for an easy, elegant presentation.

Broccoli Bolognese with Orecchiette

Blanch chopped broccoli before cooking your pasta in the same water, then toss the whole thing with crumbled sausage and plenty of chile flakes, butter, and Parmesan.

Rotisserie Chicken Salad with Charred Scallion Dressing

Charred scallions add smoky depth to the creamy, double-acid (lemon and rice vinegar) dressing that pulls this salad of store-bought chicken, Bibb lettuce, avocados, and radishes together.

Fried Brown Rice with Kale and Turmeric

In need of more greens in your life? Start with a simple fried rice tossed with kale and made extra zesty with turmeric, garlic, and lime juice.

Pork Chops With Fig and Grape Agrodolce

Fresh figs and grapes cooked in balsamic vinegar and honey make an addictively sweet and sour sauce for pork chops in this seasonal fall dinner.

Easy Chicken Tortilla Soup

This weeknight-friendly soup inspired by the Mexican classic, sopa de tortilla, is enriched by the flavor of smoky chipotles, brightened by fresh lime, and ready in just 22 minutes or less.

Chicken Escabèche

Spiced with cumin and coriander and sweetened with golden raisins, this hearty, tangy chicken stew couldn’t be simpler to throw together.

10-Minute Shrimp Dinner With Green Beans

We call this one a picnic dinner since everything can be eaten with your hands. It's easy to pack up and take to the park if you want, but it also works great on the family table.

10-Minute Sausage Skillet Dinner

Packed with cherry tomatoes and tender broccolini, this one-pan dinner has a nice buttery sauce. Serve it with some crusty bread for mopping.

10-Minute Chicken Flatbread Dinner

Serve all the toppings for this exceptionally fast flatbread dinner in separate bowls so each family member can build their dinner plate just like they like it.

Fish Packets With Snap Peas and Tomatoes

An easy herbed butter infuses fish and vegetables with rich flavor in this family-friendly dinner.

BBQ Pork Chops with Herb-Butter Corn and Sweet Potatoes

You don't have to fire up the grill to enjoy a taste of barbecue. This pork chop dinner makes use of the broiler to get those smoky, charred flavors on the table anytime you want them.

Chicken and Mushroom Quesadillas

A tangy cilantro-lime yogurt dipping sauce and a pretty carrot- and mango-ribbon slaw add a refreshing twist to this crowd-pleasing dinner.
