Chicken & Broccoli

If you're like us, nothing sounds better on a busy weekday than a quick and easy stir-fry. Instead of turning to take-out, reach for this recipe. This fast and easy one-pot chicken and broccoli is coated in a sweet and savory sauce with plenty of ginger and garlic for a weeknight dinner that beats take-out any day of the week.

Carnitas Tamale Pie

Just like our OG tamale pie and our chicken tamale pie, this recipe puts the cornbread underneath the topping (rather than on top). This method provides a sturdy bottom that helps the tamale pie cut and lift like a slice of loaded pizza, leaving the shredded pork surface open for extra toppings like fresh tomatoes and scallions.

Featuring refried black beans stuffed inside a crunchy corn tortilla, this irresistible cross between a taco and a sheet-pan quesadilla will make any weeknight feel like a celebration.

We love incorporating gnocchi in sheet-pan dinners, in cozy soups, and even paired with our fan-favorite Tuscan butter sauce, but this recipe might trump them all. Here, the potato-based pasta gets the taco treatment for a simple weeknight meal everyone will love.
