Between school, sports practices, dance lessons, club meetings, doctors’ appointments, and playdates, it can be hard for parents to find time to take a breath, let alone cook dinner for the family! Whether you want something ready for you the moment you walk in the door or you need something to take with you as you walk out, here are some easy dinner recipes to try this week.

Popcorn Chicken Nuggets

Skip the drive-through lines with popcorn chicken nuggets your children will love! Just toss the chicken in a bag with seasoning, pop them in the oven and 20 minutes later you’ll have a dinner you can enjoy at the table or pack into a bag to eat in the car on the way to soccer practice!

Mini Chicken Pot Pies

With only four ingredients, you can have these mini chicken pot pies on the table in just 30 minutes! Their size makes them perfect for an on-the-go meal, and because chicken pot pies reheat well, the leftovers can be frozen or refrigerated for future lunches and last-minute dinners!

Turkey & Cheese Crescent Rolls

It’s easy to default to sandwiches, but this recipe lets you mix up your sandwich routine with an easy-to-bake crescent roll! They only need five minutes of prep time and are great warm or cold, so there’s no need to search for a microwave if you’re out of the house.

Margarita Pita Pizza

You can make your own pizza in less than the time it would have taken for the restaurant to deliver it to your home! In 20 minutes and with only a couple of simple ingredients, every member of your family can have their own pizza on the table with whatever toppings they want!

Baked Eggplant Parmesan

Eggplant Parm is deceptively easy to make and perfect for parents who prepare their dishes ahead of time. Don’t want to spend time breading each piece? Bake the eggplant as it is an add some fresh mozzarella on top! Serve alone or over pasta for a meatless meal the entire family will love.
