Weeknight Meals

Basmati Chicken Rice Pilaf

Now you can easily make one of your favorite rice dishes from the Indian restaurant. And all it takes is 15 minutes!

Fiesta Chicken

The south-of-the-border flavor bursts out of this dish and onto your family's Favorite Dinner list. Let the fiesta begin!

Chicken and Rice Pot Pie

Who doesn't love a flavorful and filling pot pie? Your family will be lining up for seconds when you serve this all-time favorite.

Easy Chicken Fried Rice

If your local Chinese restaurant made fried rice like this, you'd want to eat there every day! This recipe brings you the flavors of water chestnuts, La Choy® Soy Sauce, and eggs. Dig in!

Creamed Swiss Chard with Lemony Breadcrumbs

Unlike a heavy béchamel, this streamlined cream sauce won't mask the earthy-sweet flavor of the greens.

Spiced Labneh

Kimchi-Style Sautéed Cabbage

A nice alternative to its fermented cousin; put this on pork chops or fish.

Lamb Stir-Fry with Pomegranate and Yogurt

Affordable leg of lamb is a great way to break out of the usual beef-chicken-pork rut, especially when used in a quick-cooking but complex-tasting dish like this.

Green Mango Salad

Done well, this should be crunchy, fresh, spicy, sour, and a little bit funky. Taste as you go and adjust as needed.

Herbed Feta Dip

Peanut and Scallion Relish

A favorite, try this versatile crunchy peanut mixture with braised-chicken-thigh lettuce wraps.

Charred Eggplant and Tahini Spread

Roasted Shrimp with Chile Gremolata

We like to serve this main with couscous, rice, or grilled bread to sop up all of the shrimp's intensely flavored cooking liquid.

Spicy Honey-Glazed Parsnips

Some parsnips can have a woody core, which you'll want to cut away before cooking.

Cabbage and Asian Pear Slaw

This hits all the notes of a great slaw: creamy, tangy, and crunchy.

Flaky Bread

An unfloured surface provides some traction, so it's easy to roll the dough very thin.

Freekeh Salad with Chicken and Kale

If you can't find freekeh, use another whole grain, like spelt or rye berries.

Taco Rice

Why have plain white rice when you can have taco rice instead? Taco rice slices, it dices, it juliennes... okay, maybe not, but it does have many different uses. Eat it as a side dish, stuff it into a burrito, use it as a base for a bean-and-rice bowl, or use it as a base for a casserole, like in my Southwest Veggie & Rice Casserole . Taco rice doesn't take much more time than cooking regular white rice, but has so much more to brag about.
