Mediterranean Grilled Chicken Salad with Hummus - inspired by @whatsgabycookin
With our durable non-stick coating and even heat distribution, you can effortlessly grill tender chicken breast and sauté vibrant vegetables for a flavorful salad. Make a one pan meal that you can easily pop in the fridge and devour multiple times throughout the busy week.
Start by marinating chicken breasts in a blend of Mediterranean spices, lemon juice, and olive oil. Grill the chicken until cooked through and let it cool before slicing. Prepare a variety of fresh vegetables such as cucumbers, tomatoes, red onions, and bell peppers to toss together. Portion out the salad components into separate containers and pack a side of homemade hummus for a delightful and balanced meal on the go throughout the week.
One Pan Italian Sausage with Veggies
Up next in our list of “one pan meals” is an easy sausage and veggie combo that will keep you satisfied with every bite. Start by slicing Italian sausage and chopping an assortment of vegetables like bell peppers, zucchini, and onions. Heat a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil, and cook the sausage until browned. Remove the sausage from the skillet and set aside, then sauté the vegetables until tender and slightly caramelized. Return the sausage to the skillet, toss everything together, and divide into individual meal containers for easy and flavorful meals throughout the week.
Spaghetti Squash with Bolognese
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Slice the spaghetti squash in half lengthwise and remove the seeds. Place the halves cut-side down on a baking sheet, then bake for 40-50 minutes or until the squash is tender. Meanwhile, prepare a classic Bolognese sauce in our fan favorite Chef’s Pan by sautéing onions, garlic, and ground meat in a pan, then add diced tomatoes, tomato paste, herbs, and simmer until flavors meld. Once the spaghetti squash is cooked, use a fork to scrape out the strands and mix spaghetti into the Bolognese sauce in the pan.
