Whether or not it’s Taco Tuesday, this quick and tasty meal is a no-brainer. Ground chicken gets a big-time flavor charge from spices and chipotle in adobo. Topping the tacos with pico de gallo adds another level of deliciousness. Cook chicken thighs and potatoes on the stove, then slide the pan into the oven to finish. The cooking liquid, along with garlic, olives, and lemon, turns into a pan sauce, so you’ll want to have some crusty bread on hand to sop it up.
“Dump and go” slow cooker meals are an easy option for lunches. Make them on the weekend to eat for lunch during the week, or throw together the ingredients in the morning to have a hot meal by lunchtime. For a simple, veggie-loaded breakfast, slice bell peppers in half lengthwise and remove the stems and seeds. Place them into a greased baking dish and cook them for 15 minutes at 350°F (175°C). For a protein boost, add one or two eggs, or smash white beans into the avocado for a vegan option.

It comes out creamy, cheesy, and loaded with broccoli for a dose of nutrients and fiber. Wrap up a chicken breast and your favorite fajita veggies and seasonings in a parchment packet for fool-proof cooking and easy clean-up.

Lot of these are on regular rotation in my house, I’d just add the herb tomato soup to it or a classic cottage pie.
