Let’s not normalize having leftovers from the day for dinner when you can make these epic dinners in no time. Requiring only 10-20 minutes prep time, these easy dinner ideas redefine tasty cooking under time constraints.
One Pot Chicken And Broccoli Pasta
Easy dinner ideas do not mean you have to skip your protein intake. With this one-pot chicken and broccoli pasta, you get to hit your calories and your tastebuds.
Made in just 40 minutes, you do not need to cook the chicken and pasta separately. After all, this is a one-pot recipe. Although this dish tastes epic on its own, you can never go wrong with cheese on it.
Spicy Sausage Rice
Even the popular chef Gordon Ramsay has an easy dinner idea for you, one that involves rice. Carbs for the day are done. Another one-pot recipe, the process is very similar to the previous one.
Add all the ingredients, give them a toss, let them cook, and finally add your rice. Let your rice cook for 15-20 minutes while you do your other chores. When you return, your house and your stomach will be filled with the smell of this delicious and easy Spicy Sausage Rice recipe.Â
Chipotle’s Burrito Wraps
How about you enjoy Chipotle’s Burritos at home? Sounds like a fuss? Well, it is not because it only requires 25 minutes to make and tastes just the same.Â
Toss in beans in a pan along with some chicken, salsa, and adobo sauce. You can also add rice to make it more fulfilling. Once done, add it to your wraps and enjoy them right away.
Red Lobster Bacon Potato Soup
Let’s try out another easy dinner idea from a popular brand, such as Red Lobster. Red Lobster Bacon Potato Soup only takes 25 minutes to prepare and is made up of potato, bacon, and celery.Â
This is creamy, nutritious, and a light yet fulfilling food for those who do not enjoy heavy dinners. Also, this is customisable, so add more or less of what you want in it.
Broccoli Pizza
Let’s end the night with some pizza, shall we? After all, we all deserve a little treat and cheat day once, although for me, it is pretty often. To make Broccoli Pizza, you need to roll your dough, add your favorite toppings, such as broccoli, add cheese, and let it bake for 17-20 minutes in a preheated oven.
Although it is an easy, dinner-night pizza recipe, it has broccoli in it, so I count it as healthy. Also, if you have vegan and vegetarian friends coming over for a party, then they will devour this dish in no time.
Garlic Noodles
Let’s have the dish that unites the whole world together, which is noodles. My take? Garlic Noodles. I love the pungent, nutty flavour which comes from it.
Although they are named Garlic Noodles, this recipe includes oyster sauce and fish sauce to elevate the flavors. Even on days when I don’t feel like having anything, I will make this dish regardless.
Gordon Ramsay Quinoa Salad
Regular salads may not be very fulfilling, but this Gordon Ramsay Quinoa Salad is. Made up with quinoa and veggies of choice, if you are planning to lose weight, then this recipe is ideal for you.
Recipes like this, which only require tossing in the ingredients, are my favourite. Also, if you have leftovers from this dish, you can throw them in wraps or tortillas and enjothemit with spicy sriracha.
