Editorial Guidelines Published on November 22, 2022 Share Tweet Pin Email Photo: Kate Sears There's a time and a place for almost every recipe, and if that time is limited, you're in the right place. Every one of the 93 (yes, 93!) quick dinner recipes we've pulled together in this collection can be made in 45 minutes or less—many of them come together even faster. Our recipes run the gamut, so you'll find familiar favorites like spaghetti and meatballs, mac and cheese, and stir-fries, as well as creative takes, like a North African beef stew and pasta with butternut squash and herby, garlicky, creamy Boursin cheese. While many of these dishes do rely on store-bought shortcuts (think rotisserie chicken, refrigerated pesto sauce, pre-made gnocchi, and canned or boxed chicken broth), the vast majority of them draw on raw, everyday ingredients. Chicken cutlets, shrimp, ground meat, vegetables you can find in most any supermarket, and pasta—when combined wisely, with powerful flavor boosts like ginger, chiles in adobo, and parmesan cheese, they're the building blocks for assembling a delicious meal in a flash. 20 Weeknight Chicken Dinner Recipes 01 of 93 One-Pan Pasta Maxwell Cozzi There's a reason why this is one of our most popular recipes: All the ingredients cook together in a straight-sided skillet, it's delicious, and it's on the table in just 20 minutes.

View Recipe 10 of 93 Crispy Salmon with Coconut-Ginger Collards Nico Schinco Collard greens stand up nicely to coconut milk, ginger, shallots, and chickpeas.

View Recipe 17 of 93 Test Kitchen's Favorite Mac and Cheese Armando Rafael To make this stovetop dish, you combine three different kinds of cheese: American, cheddar, and parmesan.

Nutty Gruyère cheese melts beautifully with the rest of the ingredients, and adds a nice depth.

Using Hong Kong chow mein noodles means you don't have to boil them ahead of time—a handy trick for when you're time-pressed. View Recipe 24 of 93 Smoky Tofu Chili Con Poulos Tofu in chili? It can be done. The trick is to use extra-firm tofu, which holds its shape through cooking and soaks up the big flavors from this recipe's aromatics, which include garlic, tomato paste, chipotle, and cumin. View Recipe 25 of 93 Spicy Shrimp-and-Broccoli Stir-Fry Johnny Miller With such a short list of ingredients (rice, shrimp, vegetable oil, broccoli, and chili-garlic sauce), each one counts. The chili-garlic sauce actually does double duty, adding both heat and deep, complex flavor. View Recipe 26 of 93 Green-Chile Chicken Burgers Bryan Gardner Making chicken burgers can be tricky, since the meat is lean, but a few smart tricks here ensure there's plenty of moisture. Canned green chiles and fresh cilantro bring plenty of flavor and juiciness, and a creamy spread made from sour cream gives the patties a little extra tang. View Recipe 27 of 93 Pork-Meatball Skillet Bake Justin Walker Sear and simmer tender, three-ingredient meatballs in a sweet pepper-studded tomato sauce, nestle in slices of toasted Italian bread, and top with mozzarella.

Lime wedges, chopped tomato, cilantro, and crumbly queso fresco, are the fresh finishing touches. View Recipe 35 of 93 Tomato-Eggplant Gnocchi Ren Fuller We love this one-skillet supper because it's hearty, but not too heavy, and vegetarian, too.

View Recipe 36 of 93 Sheet-Pan Chicken Fajitas Ren Fuller Boneless, skinless chicken breast plus yellow and green bell peppers sizzle together on a sheet pan while tortillas warm in the same oven.

View Recipe 38 of 93 Cheater's Mac and Cheese Con Poulos If you need a comforting dinner stat, turn to this 20-minute mac-and-cheese, where pasta and broccoli are cooked in the same pot. Drain them, stir together with some reserved pasta water, cream cheese, butter, and parmesan, and dinner is served. View Recipe 39 of 93 Broccoli-and-Chickpea Parmesan Johnny Miller You'll want to have a crusty baguette on hand for this one-pan dinner, which brings together chickpeas, marinara sauce, and mozzarella in a single skillet, then tops it off with wedges of roasted broccoli florets. A parmesan-and-panko blend adds crunch. View Recipe 40 of 93 Broiled Bacon-Wrapped Chicken with Sweet Potatoes and Watercress Joseph De Leo This lovely dinner deftly combines sweet and savory. On the one hand, you've got sweet potatoes, a spoonful of brown sugar, and red onion, which sweetens as it cooks. On the other, there are chicken breasts and bacon. In between, there's peppery watercress—which somehow ties everything together. View Recipe 41 of 93 Very Veggie Fried Rice with Eggs Nico Schinco Think of this as more of a general guideline than a recipe, because you can use whatever leftover vegetables you have for this quick dinner. Zucchini, broccoli, and green beans all work nicely, but if you have frozen peas and carrots on hand, add them, too. A dreamy fried egg is the protein topper that takes this easy weeknight meal to legendary status. View Recipe 42 of 93 Gnocchi with Sausage, Zucchini, and Tomato Linda Xiao Quick-cooking ingredients like fresh tomatoes, sausage, zucchini, and store-bought gnocchi help get this dinner on the table in just 30 minutes.

Simply toss them with green olives, capers, and garlic, then finish the dish with Pecorino Romano cheese for a fresh take on a classic Italian pasta. View Recipe 50 of 93 Pressure-Cooker Corn Risotto Marcus Nilsson A weekend-worthy meal on a weeknight is well within reach when you use the Instant Pot or pressure cooker. To make this fantastic risotto, add corn cobs to the pot at the same time as the rice, which creates a broth that infuses the risotto with incomparable corn flavor. Save this recipe for peak summer, as it also calls for basil and cherry tomatoes. View Recipe 51 of 93 Blistered Green-Bean and Corn Frittata Sidney Bensimon Although this seasonal frittata calls for late-summer vegetables such as green beans, corn, and cherry tomatoes, you can absolutely swap in whatever vegetables are available to you at the time. And while frozen vegetables won't have quite the same fresh flavor, they can totally work in a pinch. View Recipe 52 of 93 Parmesan Pork with Polenta and Asparagus Ren Fuller Parmesan does double duty in this quick and easy dinner: It's used to create a golden, umami-packed crust for pork cutlets and shaved over crisp-tender spears of asparagus.

Sign us up. This one combines cold soba noodles, gingery asparagus, and luscious steamed tofu. Cilantro leaves and toasted sesame seeds make for nutty and bright garnishes. View Recipe 54 of 93 Penne with Spinach Pesto and Turkey Sausage Sidney Bensimon Here's a smart way to incorporate spinach into your supper: Turn it into a super-green pesto, along with basil and peas, and use it to coat toothsome penne pasta. Separately, crisp some leaves in the oven for a crunchy topping. Coins of roasted Italian turkey sausage add nice heft to this delightful quick dinner. View Recipe 55 of 93 Red-Hot Chicken and Peppers Sidney Bensimon Heat seekers will adore this kicky meal, where a mix of hot sauce, smoked paprika, and roasted red-pepper infuse chicken legs. You roast the meat on a bed of chickpeas and peppers, so all of the juices infuse what's below; serve everything with fresh watercress and some toasted flatbread. View Recipe 56 of 93 Potato, Broccoli, and Cheddar Soup Alpha Smoot When you're serving soup as a main course, it helps if it's of the stick-to-your-bones variety—and this one definitely delivers. It uses broccoli in two ways: simmered until tender for the soup base and roasted for the garnish. View Recipe 57 of 93 Shortcut Italian Wedding Soup Alpha Smoot A parmesan rind is the powerhouse ingredient behind this fast, flavorful version of the classic soup. It also calls for sliced sausage in lieu of meatballs, which also cuts down considerably on the prep time. View Recipe 58 of 93 Bacon Pasta with Cheese Sauce and Thyme Linda Pugliese If you can find bacon ends and pieces at the grocery store, they're great for this recipe—the small pieces tend to have more fat, which equals more flavor. Of course, regular bacon cut into 1/2-inch pieces works wonderfully, too. Either way, the result is a rich weeknight pasta dinner. View Recipe 59 of 93 Buffalo Chicken Sandwiches Armando Rafael Buttery panko bread crumbs form a beautiful crust on chicken cutlets, and the "glue" that adheres them is pretty wonderful, too: a combination of mayonnaise and hot sauce. After you've cooked the chicken in the oven, lay each piece onto a bun with crumbled blue cheese, thin slices of celery, lettuce, mayo, and hot sauce. View Recipe 60 of 93 Broiled Mustard-Crusted Flounder Anson Smart Plain Greek yogurt mixed with Dijon mustard and capers helps keep flounder fillets moist and tender in this easy weeknight recipe. The mixture bubbles and browns in the oven, and a light salad is a lovely accompaniment. View Recipe 61 of 93 Broiled Fish with Summer Salad Here's another simple broiled fish dinner, and this one is even easier to make. Arrange lemon sole or flounder fillets on a rimmed baking sheet, coat them in a bit of oil, sprinkle with garlic, salt, and pepper, and broil for 5 minutes. While the fish cooks, toss together a quick salad and dinner is ready. View Recipe 62 of 93 Instant Pot Chicken Adobo and Rice Bryan Gardner Making adobo, the national dish of the Philippines, usually takes hours, but not if you use an Instant Pot. The appliance makes the vinegar-braised dish so simple, transforming chicken thighs into a flavorful one-pot dinner that's sweet, sour, and a tad salty. View Recipe 63 of 93 Sausage-and-Pepper Ragu Over Polenta Bryan Gardner There's something so comforting about a pile of browned Italian sausage, colorful bell peppers, and onions stewed with tomato paste and chicken broth. Serve the ragu over creamy polenta topped with parmesan for a wonderfully satisfying and surprisingly fast dinner. View Recipe 64 of 93 Orange Pork with Watercress Rice Armando Rafael If you have a jar of orange marmalade in your pantry or fridge, put it to great use in this quick dinner recipe. It adds sweetness and citrus zing to pork tenderloin, and it's especially nice combined with fish sauce, fresh lime juice, garlic, and ginger. View Recipe 65 of 93 Pad See Ew Martyna Szczesna Not as famous as Pad Thai but just as delicious, this beloved Thai dish calls for stir-frying rice noodles with soy sauce. The unique flavor comes from browning the ingredients and allowing the sauce to caramelize. It's still well within reach on a busy evening, though. Things happen quickly; just make sure your pan is so hot that you hear a sizzle throughout cooking. View Recipe 66 of 93 Leek-and-Asparagus Crispy Rice Ren Fuller Here's a great reminder that mixing varying textures can take a simple, weeknight dinner to new and delicious levels. Giving the rice a few minutes in a hot skillet helps it form a crackly crust, and those little nuggets of crunch disperse throughout the dish. Leeks take on a buttery quality once cooked, melting into fluffy rice and crisp-tender asparagus. And an egg—fried just until the yolk can be used as a silky sauce—is the finishing touch on top of a most excellent vegetarian rice bowl. View Recipe 67 of 93 Chicken Schnitzel with Dill and Sesame David Malosh A few small tweaks turn what might be a ho-hum dinner into something special. First, you pound the chicken breasts into thin cutlets, which helps them cook in a flash. And then, you season the flour and panko mixture (not just the meat), and add sesame seeds for a nutty crunch. The result: a deliciously crispy dinner that's fantastic alongside a Watercress-Apple Relish. View Recipe 68 of 93 Crisped Brown Rice with Beef, Vegetables, and Eggs Marcus Nilsson This dish has it all: carbs (rice), protein (sirloin steak and baked eggs), and vegetables (carrots and cabbage), and it's also a smart way to use up leftover cooked rice. View Recipe 69 of 93 Grilled-Chicken-and-Zucchini Salad Ren Fuller A 15-minute marinade in garlicky, dill-flecked yogurt before grilling turns cutlets super flavorful in this chicken and zucchini salad. And if you don't have a grill, you can easily cook them in a cast-iron skillet or nonstick frying pan. Serve the chicken with a super-speedy romaine-and-radish salad, plus planks of zucchini brightened with lemon zest. View Recipe 70 of 93 Barbecued-Chicken Salad The smoky marinade in this dish doubles as a salad dressing. With its combo of lime zest and juice, garlic, paprika and honey, it would also be perfect for marinating grilled fish tacos or flavoring simple grilled or roasted vegetables. View Recipe 71 of 93 Grilled Pork Cutlets with Watermelon-Cucumber Salad Watermelon is a terrific ingredient to add to savory salads, as this Vietnamese- and Thai-inspired recipe shows. Wedges of the sweet fruit paired with half-moons of cucumber do a bang-up job in giving cool contrast to sliced chile and grilled pork (chicken works, too). View Recipe 72 of 93 Cashew-Chicken Kebabs Armando Rafael Try something different and delicious for dinner tonight. These kebabs are dressed in a sauce that you make from pulsing cashews and curry paste together with water. Vermicelli rice noodles are a great accompaniment and soak up the juices nicely. View Recipe 73 of 93 Pasta with Zucchini, Mint, and Pecorino This beautiful Italian supper smartly turns grated zucchini, anchovies, garlic, and a splash of pasta water into a delightful sauce for gemelli (though any pasta works). Finish the dish with finely grated, salty Pecorino Romano and chopped fresh mint for a final burst of flavor. View Recipe 74 of 93 Easy Beef Chili Some chili recipes need to simmer for hours, but this speedy version comes together in a flash. Its base is ground beef (there are no beans) spiced with aromatics, then amped up with fire-roasted tomatoes, chili powder, and cocoa. Have some sour cream and sliced scallions on hand to temper the heat. View Recipe 75 of 93 Chipotle Chicken and White-Bean Soup Alpha Smoot Keep canned tomato sauce, chipotle in adobo, and white beans in your pantry, and you'll never be far from getting this quick, one-pot take on tortilla soup on the table. Top the soup off with sliced radishes, tortilla chips, and diced avocado for a fresh finish and a little crunch. View Recipe 76 of 93 Spanish Cod with Chorizo and Fennel Sidney Bensimon Chorizo lends rich flavor to cod in this easy recipe, which also includes fennel, cherry tomatoes, garlic, and orange. You cook the fish in parchment paper, which keeps it moist, and also makes cleanup easy. Serve this healthy entrée with a simple salad and some bread for sopping up the juices. View Recipe 77 of 93 Cauliflower-and-Chickpea Pitas with Creamy Yogurt Sauce Chris Simpson Here's a dinner sandwich that's bursting with flavor and good for you, too. It's a falafel-inspired pita sandwich stuffed with crunchy roasted chickpeas and spiced roasted cauliflower. Drizzle it with a bright, zippy lime-jalapeño yogurt sauce and dig in. View Recipe 78 of 93 Sweet-and-Sour Chicken-Noodle Bowl Lennart Weibull You can take this refreshing noodle bowl anywhere—whether that's your kitchen table or outside for a picnic.

View Recipe 79 of 93 Grilled-Halloumi-and-Vegetable Wraps Paola + Murray Have we mentioned how much we love vegetarian dinner sandwiches? Here's another one to add to your rotation, starring halloumi cheese, which stands up well to high heat. Grill it (or just toss it in a hot pan) along with bell peppers, zucchini, and radicchio; then wrap it up in a warm tortilla for easy eating. View Recipe 80 of 93 Summer Vegetable and Bean Tacos Marcus Nilsson Skillet-cooked onion, squash and bell peppers; warmed black beans and chili powder; and some warm tortillas come together to make a tasty and easy veggie taco dinner.

View Recipe 84 of 93 Chicken Paillard with Caprese Panzanella Con Poulos This weeknight dinner takes the classic Italian salad panzanella, with bread and tomatoes, and turns it into a hearty main meal by adding creamy mozzarella and quick-cooking chicken cutlets. Capers add a salty burst and fresh basil keeps everything tasting light and bright.
