The One-Pan Italian Chicken Dish You'll Want to Make Weekly
This one-pan chicken saltimbocca features prosciutto-draped chicken, crisp sage, and a lemony white wine sauce—all ready in under an hour. It's a quick dinner that's worked-all-day impressive.
Chicken Arroz Rojo
This colorful and satisfying one-pot dish is a variation on classic arroz rojo and makes it a complete meal by adding juicy chicken thighs. Caramelized tomato paste and fresh tomato give the rice its signature reddish hue; the dish is studded with sweet golden corn and black beans for pops of vibrant color, flavor and texture. Tossing cubed boneless, skinless chicken pieces with fragrant oregano and cumin before cooking adds another dimension of flavor. Leftovers are wonderful tucked and rolled in flour tortillas for tasty burritos the next day; you can add scrambled eggs for a breakfast version.
Shrimp Aguachile
Aguachile, the bright and punchy seafood dish from coastal Sinaloa, Mexico, gets its name (which translates to “chile water”) from the vibrant blend of chiles, lime juice and salt that transform the sweet flesh of raw shrimp into tender, tart flavor bombs. Unlike ceviche, where seafood marinates in citrus until it's fully “cooked,” aguachile hits the table soon after the shrimp meets the zesty chile water. While the aguachile is on your plate, the lime juice continues its work on the sweet, delicate shrimp, so each bite offers a slightly different texture without ever turning rubbery. Use as many serranos as your heart desires and your palate can handle.

Stuffed Jumbo Shells with Sausage & Pork
If you're looking for an easy, crowd-pleasing dinner that feels like a warm hug, these Stuffed Jumbo Shells with Sausage & Cheese are the answer. This recipe brings together simple ingredients -- ground pork, Italian sausage, marinara sauce, and a cheesy blend -- all tucked into tender pasta shells and simmered to perfection. The beauty of this dish is its flexibility. You can mix in your favorite veggies like spinach, mushrooms, or peppers, or keep it classic and meaty. The filling is savory, cheesy, and satisfying -- and once the shells are stuffed and nestled in sauce, the oven (or stovetop) does the rest. Whether you're cooking for your family, hosting guests, or prepping comfort food for the week, this recipe is easy to make and even easier to love. Serve it with garlic bread, a fresh salad, or just a fork and an appetite -- it's always a hit.
Tomato, Bacon and Corn Salad
This super-summery salad is all about big, bold bites — juicy tomatoes, sweet corn, creamy avocado and crispy bacon. It’s tossed with nothing more than a generous squeeze of lime and a little reserved bacon fat for extra richness and smokiness. Plenty of cilantro (or another herb of your choice) keeps it fresh. It’s hearty enough to be dinner, but also plays well with anything grilled, roasted or just eaten outdoors. Some thick toast on the side could make this a full meal.
Grilled Tofu Salad With Honey Chile Dressing
This vibrant salad features a beautiful platter of tofu and bountiful summer vegetables that are kissed on the grill just until lightly charred and smoky. It’s equally delicious warm or at room temperature and can be prepared a few hours ahead (cover and keep at room temperature until ready to serve). A spicy vinaigrette with tart lime juice, briny fish sauce and hot chiles, inspired by nước chấm, is balanced by sweet honey and brightens the grilled vegetables. Cherry tomatoes add pops of natural sweetness that balance the dressing. Roasted peanuts (or even roasted almonds) are a nice addition, too, for crunchy texture and nutty flavor.

The Butter-Soaked Steak Only Iowa Could Dream Up
A Des Moines steakhouse classic made easy—this 20-minute garlic–herb butter steak delivers big flavor without any fuss.
Chicken Yakhni Pulao (Pakistani Chicken and Rice)
Pakistan’s original meat and rice dish for special occasions, yakhni pulao is the demure rival to the more lavish, layered and spiced chicken biryani. Unlike biryani, yakhni pulao is delicately spiced and the rice is cooked in a quick yakhni (broth) made from the bone-in chicken pieces, which get added back to the rice toward the end of the cooking process. Golden sautéed onions give the pulao its distinct earthy color, while aromatic peppercorns, cumin, cloves and cinnamon flavor the rice. Green chiles provide a kick and yogurt a bit of sourness. Serve with a hefty curry like kaddu with greens and shrimp, butter paneer or Kerala-style vegetable korma, or alongside dal like masoor dal, sabut masoor dal or chana masala, or by itself.
Berbere Brown Sugar Chicken
These smoky, slightly sweet chicken thighs are braised with orange juice, a touch of brown sugar and berbere spice, that warm, smoky and spicy blend that’s essential to Ethiopian and Eritrean cuisines. Roasted with savory onions and garlic, the chicken develops a rich, saucy base that’s packed with big flavor. The brown sugar mellows the heat of the berbere, creating a deliciously bold, barbecue-like sauce. To save some time in the kitchen, feel free to chop your onions and garlic while the chicken is searing. Enjoy this chicken recipe with roasted carrots and rice, polenta or grits, or shred and use as a filling for tacos.

Savory, Tangy, and Tender—These Vietnamese Stuffed Tomatoes Hit Every Note
Cà chua nhồi thịt is a beloved Vietnamese comfort food featuring a flavorful pork filling stuffed into softened tomato halves and drenched in a sweet and tangy sauce.
Kalbi Marinated Short Ribs
Pesto alla Trapanese (Pasta With Tomatoes, Almonds and Mint)
There’s an inspiring casualness to the best Italian cooking: Combine a handful of high-quality, local ingredients, season them simply and let them be. A great example is pesto Trapanese, a simple sauce that digs deeply into the Sicilian soil it comes from. Rich almonds and fruity olive oil mingle with fragrant herbs while tangy tomatoes make it brighter and sweeter than green pesto, its more famous cousin from Genoa. This mint version, adapted from “Made in Sicily” (Ecco, 2012) by Giorgio Locatelli, the London-based chef and restaurateur, swaps out the traditional mortar and pestle for a food processor but keeps the earthy soul of the dish intact. Besides tossing this pesto with pasta, try spooning some over fish, shrimp or roasted potatoes.
Summer Roll Noodle Salad
Taking a cue from Vietnamese summer rolls, this rice vermicelli noodle salad is packed with the bold, bright flavors and textures reminiscent of its namesake dish. With tender lettuce for its sweet, earthiness (and a nod to the lettuce often used to wrap around spring rolls), a hefty handful of fresh herbs and plump shrimp, this salad is texturally rich and full of fresh flavors. The dressing — a hybrid of peanut dipping sauce and nước chấm — is nutty, punchy and deeply savory thanks to the fish sauce and hoisin. To lessen the fiery bite of the Thai chile in the dressing, let it sit in the lime juice before adding the rest of the ingredients. A combination of carrots and bean sprouts bulk up the salad, but feel free to swap more of one for the other.
Cumin Beef and Green Bean Stir-Fry
Borrowing from both Hunan and Indo-Chinese cuisine, this speedy stir-fry features a generous amount of crushed cumin seeds for their aroma and earthy flavor. While ketchup is commonly used in Indo-Chinese cooking to provide tangy sweetness, sriracha does double duty, delivering a spicy kick without needing to reach for the chile powder. Green beans are ideal here for their mild sweetness and crunchy texture, but any quick-cooking vegetable will work in their place.

Herby Lobster Roll
Zucchini and Fennel Salad
It’s not properly summer until you have too much zucchini in your life, spilling out of your market bags and collecting in your crisper drawer. This recipe takes what might feel like a bumper crop burden and makes it a star of the season once more. Fresh, crisp and bright, this plucky, lemony shaved zucchini and fennel salad is easy to throw together for a lovely summer luncheon or dinner. An incredibly à la minute salad, the vegetables are basically softened in the moment with the salt and the acid, so make sure to serve this salad quickly for optimal texture and taste. While it is crispest and freshest as soon as it’s made, leftovers will be just as lovely, albeit not as crisp, the next day, and can be perked up with fresh herbs or even repurposed: Roughly chop and toss with arugula and cooked chicken for a great, hearty lunch. This is a salad that gives and gives.
Broccoli Soba Salad
Inspired by the flavors of crave-worthy yamitsuki, a Japanese cabbage dish named for its addictive qualities, this broccoli soba salad is an assured crowd pleaser. A brief marination in salt tenderizes the broccoli, making it more receptive to a humble yet powerful trio of seasonings: salt, garlic and sesame oil. The unlikely addition of vegetable stock paste or bouillon powder bolsters the emphatic umami of this dish; if you have MSG in your pantry, you could add a few pinches of that instead. Using both the flower and stalk of the broccoli adds both texture and crunch to the foundation of nutty soba noodles. This is the perfect prep-ahead dish, as it benefits from chilling to allow the flavors to meld and the soba to become firmer and less fragile.
Enchiladas Suizas (Creamy Chicken Enchiladas)
Enchiladas Suizas are sort of a lie. They are neither chile-laden nor from Switzerland. The name likely comes from using an abundance of cream and cheese in the recipe, which Mexicans associate with the alpine country due to its famous dairy production. These enchiladas, a combination of lightly fried corn tortillas filled with tender shredded chicken, bathed in velvety salsa verde and blanketed with melted cheese, were invented in the early 20th century at the famed Sanborns de los Azulejos, a Mexican café chain that turned the dish into a cultural icon throughout Mexico. That salsa verde? It is swirled into cream with a simple roux to keep the thickened salsa from separating and to tame any heat that you might expect from serrano chiles. For a weeknight-friendly version, shredded rotisserie chicken can save you some time.
Crunchy Queso Wrap
A wildly popular novelty snack from Taco Bell, the Crunchwrap Supreme combines elements of a burrito with the tidier portability of a sandwich, in a stacked, layered and wrapped tortilla package. It delights for two practical reasons (low cost and convenience) and two culinary ones (crunch and cheesiness). An at-home version is a fun party trick — and it is endlessly customizable. Once you cook up the assertively spiced ground beef, the rest of this recipe is basically assembly: Start with the largest flour tortillas you can find, then layer on the meat (or crispy tofu, or refried beans), cloak it in queso, stack a tostada on top, pile on some chipotle sour cream, lettuce and pico de gallo, then fold and sear. Would you spend less buying just one at a Taco Bell? Yes, but your ratio of filling to tortilla will be paltry compared to this homemade version, which cheaply and happily feeds a crowd.
Bacon Ranch Potato Salad
Destined to be the star of your next cookout, this potato salad is loaded with thick, crispy bacon, shredded Cheddar cheese, jammy eggs and crunchy scallions, all wrapped in a tangy, herby hug of ranch dressing. If feeding a crowd isn’t in the cards, this recipe is hearty enough to be a meal on its own, and lasts for days in the refrigerator. Feel free to add more vegetables to the mix, like tomatoes, cucumbers or celery; just be sure to add them right before serving to keep the bacon nice and crunchy.
Satay-Style Grilled Chicken Thighs
A familiar sight on many Thai menus in the U.S., chicken satay typically involves grilled skewers of marinated chicken, charred and stained with spices, and served with peanut sauce and perhaps a cucumber relish on the side. This recipe gives the dish a one-plate remix by bringing all the same flavors together, in slightly different proportions, and placing them atop rice. Because of its sugar and fat content, the coconut milk in the chicken marinade chars up beautifully on the grill, while the chile in the cucumber relish — served as an abundant garnish here — balances out the sweetness of the dressing. Replacing the traditional peanut sauce, chopped peanuts add pops of crunch. Get ahead by putting together the salad and marinade the day before and storing them in the fridge until you’re ready to make the chicken.
