Quick Dinner Recipes

Need to get a quick dinner to the table on a busy night? Maybe you're just too tired to cook and need a 10-minute dinner idea?

It takes just a few minutes to prep my baked chicken breasts or my oven baked salmon and then pair it with simple side dishes.

However, you'll find plenty of one-pot, skillet, and sheet pan dinners that require very little prep time along with classic easy dinners like soups and sandwiches right here.
