These quick-and-easy dinner recipes offer up major inspiration, even on those busy nights when you're drawing a blank on what to make. For an easy supper that you can depend on, we picked out some of the tried-and-true favorites that have gotten us through even the busiest of days. Whether you're cooking for yourself or for a family, these easy dinner recipes are sure to leave everyone satisfied and stress-free.
Pork Chops Skillet Meal in Easy Dinner Recipes,The chicken cooks quickly and it’s super lean and filling, but guess what? “The other white meat” is just as good! Pork chops and a creamy mushroom sauce is one perfect cozy meal. Simple skillet meal with sauteed mushrooms in heavy cream. This filling meal is a perfect 30-minute mid-week meal. Which is probably why I like this Pork Chops Mushroom Cream Sauce recipe so much too! I’ve made this dish three times in the past month, except each time I use a different cut of meat; chicken, beef, and now pork!

Baked Lemon Salmon in Easy Dinner Recipes,This zesty baked salmon with lemon is such a light, fresh meal. Try our creamy tzatziki sauce with Greek yogurt as an optional topping to the salmon. It really puts it over the top! This Baked Salmon with Lemon is HANDS DOWN the best salmon I have ever made, or had. The fish comes out super tender and filled with flavor. The lemon bakes right into the salmon, so the dish is permeated with just the right amount of citrus.
Baked Lemon Salmon
Fried Wonton Strips in Easy Dinner Recipes,Fried Wonton Strips cook up deliciously crispy and they are a cinch to make. Only 2 ingredients needed: wonton or eggroll wrappers and oil. They taste just like the crunchy strips you are served at most Asian restaurants. There is nothing like the texture and crunch of wonton strips and they are so easy to make at home. They make a great snack or serve them with soup or salad. The only difference (I think) between wonton wrappers and egg rolls wrappers is the size, wonton wrappers being smaller. You should be able to find them in the refrigerated section or your grocery store, usually near the tofu. The wrappers are easy to cut into strips with a knife or a Pizza Wheel. You can cut them into any size strip you want. I like to cut the egg roll wrappers in half, stack a bunch, and cut them into strips about 1/2 to 3/4-inch wide.

Shrimp Pico Rice Skillet in Easy Dinner Recipes,A twist on a Texas favorite, made with succulent shrimp, spicy jalapeños and rice, my Shrimp Pico Rice Skillet is a homage to my South Texas roots. This one-skillet dish starts off on the stove-top and is completed in the oven, served warm with plenty of fresh lime juice.

Chinese Orange Chicken in Easy Dinner Recipes,Chinese orange chicken made with crispy fried chicken covered in an authentic orange sauce. The ultimate Chinese orange chicken recipe which is way better than take-off. My kids are always begging me to take them to grab Chinese food. They are obsessed with orange chicken but I am never really sure what’s in it….especially if they get it from a drive-thru. I wanted to create a version at home, made from scratch, with only ingredients I can pronounce. It still has the same incredible flavor they love. It’s a win-win in our home. This is the perfect time of year to whip up orange and lemon dishes especially this Chinese Orange Chicken.

Baked Salmon in Easy Dinner Recipes,All of my best tips for how to make the most perfectly baked salmon in the oven. This baked salmon recipe is easy to customize with your favorite seasonings and takes less than 15 minutes from start to finish. When I took requests for this series, salmon was by far and away from the most popular fish that you all wanted to learn about. And with good reason — it’s a fish that’s delicious, affordable, easy to find, packed with protein and omega-3s and other healthy nutrients, and it pairs beautifully with a variety of different seasonings and sauces. It’s also incredibly easy to make baked salmon in the oven, which is my favorite way to prepare it. With a few simple tips, your salmon can be perfectly crispy on the outside, moist and tender and flaky on the inside.

It’s paleo, gluten-free and the perfect dinner on a cold winter night.

Lettuce, savoy cabbage, carrots, and radicchio are tossed with green onions, cilantro, and peanuts. It's then topped with grilled shrimp and drizzled with a creamy and spicy peanut dressing. I could seriously drink the dressing straight out of the container. Actually, I can't help but lick the plate.

Healthy Grilled Asian Thai Shrimp Salad in Easy Dinner Recipes,This Thai shrimp salad packs tons of flavor with fresh herbs and an almond butter Thai salad dressing. I needed a paleo version of spring rolls, and this grilled shrimp salad is IT. It has all the amazing flavors I remember, except in a salad form and not a rice paper roll. This healthy shrimp salad recipe is loaded with fresh herbs, napa cabbage, romaine lettuce, julienned cucumber, toasted cashews, and shrimp all get tossed with a creamy almond butter satay dressing! This Asian shrimp salad has classic flavors, but the fresh herbs (mint! cilantro!) add such bright earthiness, you've got to try it!
