101 Easy 30-Minute Dinner Recipes That Will Save Your Weeknights

There’s no denying that getting a family-friendly dinner on the table can be tricky at the best of times, let alone on busy weeknights. But, we’re here to tell you that with the right recipes (easy dinners, preferably ones that don’t require much cleanup) it’s completely possible to get a home cooked meal on the table in a matter of minutes. Whether you’re craving chicken breast, a filet of salmon, thick-cut pork chops or something else, you’ll find exactly what you’re looking for here—starting with Ree’s super fun take on crispy chicken cutlets. She adds everything bagel seasoning (a savory mix of black and white sesame seeds, dried garlic and onion, sea salt and poppy seeds) to the breadcrumb coating to ensure that each bite is packed with flavor.

We can't get enough of shrimp scampi! Do we love it because it’s simple but seemingly fancy? Or because it’s done in 30 minutes? Or because we just can’t resist a buttery wine sauce? All of the above!

The key to a pan pizza is preheating the pan so the dough starts to cook right after it is placed inside. That'll help you get a super crispy crust on the bottom.
