Quick and Healthy Dinner Recipes and Menus

Make healthy, delicious dinners in minutes with these quick and ultra-quick recipe ideas

Getting a healthy dinner on the table fast doesn’t have to be a struggle. It just takes a little planning and organization. Start by taking some time during the week to plan the following week’s menu and make a shopping list. When you’re at the grocery store, be flexible—if you planned on steaming green beans Tuesday but they look horrible, buy that beautiful head of cauliflower instead. And be sure to try new recipes to tantalize your taste buds! These dishes can all be made from start to finish in 15 to 30 minutes, so get cooking!

Cooking Tips

Chicken tenders are the virtually fat-free strips of rib meat typically found attached to the underside of chicken breasts. They can also be purchased separately. Four 1-ounce tenders will yield a 3-ounce cooked portion. Tenders are perfect for quick stir-fries, chicken satay or kid-friendly breaded “chicken fingers.”

To defrost frozen shrimp quickly: Individually quick-frozen shrimp, sold in resealable bags, are convenient to keep in your freezer. Thaw in a covered bowl in the refrigerator. If you’re in a hurry, place shrimp in a colander under cold running water until thawed.

Quick-cooking barley is rolled thinner than traditional pearl barley, so the cooking time is about 20 to 30 minutes shorter. It can be found in supermarkets and natural-foods stores.
