Weeknight Meals

A sweet and gingery soy sauce mixture is used to both braise and glaze skinless, boneless chicken thighs in this quick, kid-friendly dinner.

Marinated artichoke hearts, canned chickpeas, and pepperoni roast together to make a warm, crisp foundation for this wintry salad. Fresh oranges balance the salty and savory flavors.

This dinner is a fry-up, of sorts. The smell of apples and smoked bacon frying on a damp day brings everyone into the kitchen, plate in hand.

Fry shreds of leftover slow-cooked pork to an irresistible crisp for this quick, gingery green bean and cabbage stir-fry.

Crisping mushrooms in bacon fat infused with rosemary gives this salad satisfying texture and rich, comforting flavor, enhanced by a runny poached egg.

When in doubt, frittata. This version turns greens-and-beans into a complete one-skillet supper.

With crispy mini potatoes and hearty greens that are roasted in a sweet-tart mustard dressing, this 25-minute dinner is an easy crowd-pleaser.

Finally, a creamy, buttery risotto without all of the stirring. Just pop it in the oven and roast some mushrooms alongside to top off the finished dish.

Two rimmed baking sheets and a hot oven mimic a giant panini press, making grilled cheese for a crowd a super quick and easy prospect.

Meet your new favorite, cold-weather one-pan salmon dinner. It’s warm and creamy with coconut milk and just spicy enough with green curry paste, ginger, and garlic.

This prep-ahead dinner can be served layered in bowls or deconstructed for picky eaters with the ginger, scallions, and cilantro sauce on the side.

How do you get anyone (really, anyone) to eat kale and mushrooms? Layer them with toasted bread cubes and cover with Gruyère and Parmesan.

Arugula adds a fresh, peppery bite to this simple sausage and roasted vegetable pasta.

A bright and spicy sauce works as both marinade for the shrimp and dressing for the citrus salad in these colorful rice bowls.

Pale yellowish-white Castelfranco radicchio is usually tender and mild, but Chioggia (round) or Treviso (spear-shaped) varieties also work.

Roasting Italian sausages on a bed of sliced fennel and red onion is two kinds of genius: sausage drippings flavor the vegetables and you only have one pan to clean when dinner is done.

Slow-roasting provides the best insurance for moist, super-flaky fish without the need for much tending—which means you can direct most of your attention elsewhere this Valentine’s Day.

The recipe calls for parsley and basil, but consider this dish a canvas for whatever tender herbs you have kicking around: cilantro, dill, tarragon, sage, chives, fennel fronds. Mix and match at will.

Applying the classic steakhouse butter-basting technique to slabs of butternut squash turns it into a hearty vegetarian main.
