This week’s meal plan includes the easiest Chicken Stir fry, Shrimp/Prawn Tacos, Easy Tomato Basil Pasta, Greek Chicken Skewers and Smashed Lamb Wraps. Where appropriate, we’ll include seasonal swaps so you’re not eating hearty soups and stews in summer or refreshing salads in winter. 🙂
We’ve also included a completed shopping list for your convenience. Simply click on the link and download! A note about this week’s ingredients: There’s a lot of fresh herbs used in these recipes. If you don’t have them or don’t want to buy them, choose two or three (I would suggest basil, rosemary and parsley) and work with them across the week. It’s just a herb, not the end of the world.
Monday
Why You’ll love this recipe:
- So quick, so easy. The chicken is quickly velveted in baking soda (making it super tender) before being flash-fried. The stir fry sauce comes together in a minute and we use store-bought stir-fry vegetables and noodles to make things super easy. Want it even quicker? Use a rotisserie chicken!
- Delicious leftovers: The leftovers are delicious for lunch the next day. Keep the leftover stir fry in an airtight container in the fridge and reheat in the microwave.
Tuesday
Why You’ll love this recipe:
- Healthy and delicious: The shrimp is seasoned and grilled or flash-fried without too much oil. I added shredded cabbage, avocado, red onion and a quick sauce to our tacos but you can add any vegetables or salsa of your choice.
- Add any toppings you like: Guacamole, pico de Gallo, homemade salsa, corn salsa and jalapeño crema would all be delicious!
Wednesday
Why You’ll love this recipe:
- The easiest pasta sauce:Â Fresh cherry tomatoes, garlic and basil. It doesn’t get much simpler than this fresh tomato pasta sauce.
- Add a side: This is a delicious meat-free meal but adding chicken breast, steak or seared shrimp isn’t a bad idea at all.
Thursday
Why You’ll love this recipe:
- So easy: The chicken is marinated and threaded onto bamboo skewers before being quickly grilled. They’re also great in the air fryer. Make them a few days in advance and keep in the fridge to make dinner even easier.
- Add a side: A quick cucumber tomato salad, tzatziki and flatbread complete this meal beautifully.
Friday
Why You’ll love this recipe:
- Perfect Friday dinner: Quick, delicious and fresh. This is the perfect meal to end off the week.
- Add a side: We love these wraps on their own with the creamy sauce and chopped salad but feel free to add a side of corn on the cob or air fryer fries.
