Dinners recipes Page 2

Weeknight and weekend dinners built around chicken, beef, pasta, soups and casseroles, from 20-minute skillets to slow-cooked mains. Chicken runs through much of the category: pan-seared thighs, lemon garlic chicken, shredded chicken for tacos, and a creamy chicken and rice made in one pot. Pasta fans will find linguine with shrimp scampi, sun-dried tomato pasta and lemon chicken gnocchi.

For cold evenings there are stews and chilis, such as Instant Pot beef stew, slow cooker beef chili and creamy tortellini soup. Greek lemon potatoes and Kreatopita bring something different to the table. Many recipes state their time in the title, so you can match a dish to the evening you have: quick stovetop meals when time is short, slow cooker and Instant Pot dishes when you can start early.
