5 Easy Weeknight Dinners To Add To Your Rotation

We know you're busy—so let us cover dinner tonight.

Between homeschooling, keeping on top of what now feels like an abundance of laundry and, oh yeah, that job you have - it can be seriously challenging to cook a new, satisfying and healthy dinner each night.

Your best bet against weeknight dinner stress? These uncomplicated family dinner ideas will please everyone - even the kids. From cosy casseroles to one-pot paella, easy pasta dishes to cheesy burgers, you’ll have endless delicious recipes to choose from night after night, whether you have all day to prep or just minutes.

All-in-one paella with chicken peppers and chorizo

Inspired by oven-cook risottos, this oven-cooked paella is the easiest dinner you could possibly make. No stirring, just beautifully cooked saffron rice, rich with chorizo, chicken and garlic. While it’s celebratory enough to serve to friends at a socially distanced garden party, we suggest being selfish and keeping the leftovers for the rest of the week’s lunches and/or dinners – the flavour only improves overnight in the fridge. Check out the recipe here.

Wild Garlic and Prawn Spaghetti

Wild garlic is in season at the minute, so if you're interested in foraging then now is the time to get going. The combination of wild garlic and prawns works so well here that we'll be making this dish constantly while we can. Get the recipe here.

Turkey Burgers With Chanterelles and Gruyere

The sun is slowly but surely started to make its comeback meaning it's time to fire up the BBQ and make the most of thee good weather. To change things up this week, take a break from your typical beef burgers and opt for turkey mince. This recipe from The Currabinny Cookbook will make you wonder why you ever bothered with beef in the first place. Try the recipe here.

Courgette And Basil Lasagne

A great way of sneaking more vegetables into your diet? Disguising them with pasta sauce. It works just as good on kids as does it adults - trust us. What's more, this courgette and basil lasagne is the perfect dish for those that are craving some comfort food but want to keep it light. Try the recipe here.

Chicken Chasseur

We absolutely love Kevin Dundon's recipes, but this chicken chasseur is definitely one of our favourites. It's perfect for colder days like today and is a great family-friendly meal. Serve it with baby potatoes or rice for an extra carb-loaded hit of goodness. Try the recipe here.
