What’s For Dinner?!

Every meal planner’s least favorite question: What’s for dinner? Am I right? The dread of figuring out what to make can spark anxiety in even the most organized among us. But guess what? It doesn’t have to. Here are five go-to dinners that keep my evenings fun, simple, and fresh. With these in rotation, I rarely feel like I’m eating the same thing all the time—or stressing about dinner.

1. Spicy Chicken and Broccoli

This one’s simple and delicious. Toss some Daring Spicy Chicken and Original Chicken pieces into a preheated pan with olive oil, and cook until hot—about 20 minutes. Meanwhile, boil some fresh broccoli. Once everything’s ready, mix the chicken and broccoli together and serve in a bowl. Bonus: tortilla chips on the side for a satisfying crunch that balances the heat. Want to mix it up? Swap the broccoli for spinach and voilà—a spicy chicken salad.

So much flavor!

2. Soy Curls and Chicken Salad

Think of this as a twist on soup and salad. Soak some soy curls in hot water for 10 minutes, then drain and add your favorite sauce. While that’s happening, pan-fry some Original Daring Chicken. Prep two bowls with fresh spinach, diced apple (for crunch), and a drizzle of olive oil. When the chicken’s done, lay it on top of the salad. Serve the soy curls in a separate bowl. My partner likes to combine them; I prefer them separate. You do you.

3. Tacos!

Need I say more? Tacos are a classic for a reason. Cook beefless ground in a pan, add taco seasoning, and heat up some crunchy shells. Serve with salsa, guacamole, and vegan cheese for a foolproof dinner that’s as easy as it is satisfying.

Who doesn’t love Taco Tuesday?!

4. Burgers and Broccoli

Prepare Beyond Meat burgers in a pan, flipping every four minutes until cooked to your liking. Steam or sauté some fresh broccoli, then combine everything in a bowl. Add your favorite dipping sauces on the side, and you’re good to go.

5. Buffalo Chicken, Broccoli, and Tofu

This one’s a bit more time-intensive, but it’s worth every minute. First, pan-fry tofu until crispy. Midway through, bake Daring Buffalo Chicken at 375°F for 10–12 minutes. (If your oven has an air-fry option, use it for extra crispiness, but traditional baking works great too.) While those cook, steam some fresh broccoli. Assemble with broccoli as the base, chicken on top, and tofu arranged around the edges. So good, it’s worth the wait.

The Secret to Stress-Free Dinners

With these five meals, you’ll enjoy quick cooking, minimal prep, and plenty of variety. No more dinner dread—just tasty, simple solutions for every weeknight.
