6 Easy Dinner Recipes To Try This Week!

Published 18 days ago • 1 min read

Hi Reader!

As soon as Monday morning hits, my "to do" list takes over, and easy dinners are what keep the week on track. This collection includes chicken, fish and meatless meals, so I hope you find something that works for your family.

Must-try recipe

There's a reason Chicken & Rice Soup is one of the most popular recipes on Cookin' Canuck. Not only is it tasty and comforting, but it takes just 10 minutes of active prep time. The Instant Pot does most of the work!

More recipes for the week

  1. Whip up a double batch of Homemade Taco Seasoning (store the rest for a future meal) and cook it with ground turkey or beef. Try it in my loaded Ground Turkey Tacos.
  2. The crispy topping is everything in Baked Cod with Panko! Plus, it can be made in under 30 minutes.
  3. This Spiced Crockpot Chickpea Stew is one of the first vegetarian meals I fell in love with. Your kitchen will smell amazing while it cooks!
  4. Tonight's dinner at our house: Hearty Lentil & Black Bean Soup. Reader review: "Absolutely amazing soup! I have made several times as written...tonight I used pinto beans instead of black because that was what I had. Still great!" ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
  5. A family favorite! We've been making Thai Chicken Naan Pizzas for years and it's still one of the most requested meals in our house.

See you next time!
