Garlic-Parm Chicken Bites So Delicious, You'll Eat Them Straight from the Pan

Plus, four more recipes for the week ahead.

5 Easy Weeknight Dinners I'm Actually Excited to Make I'm in my beef era. I have two growing young boys who need plenty of protein — and I'm not gonna lie, I've been influenced by social media that I could use more too. I'm trying a new ground beef dinner this week that I'm so excited about: Picadillo, a comforting skillet with potatoes and canned diced tomatoes. It's giving Hamburger Helper vibes, only way more delicious thanks to soy sauce. To kick off the week, I'm turning to one of the most-cooked chicken recipes on our site, Patty's Garlic-Parm Chicken Bites. The combination of butter and Parmesan should not taste this good — and they're ridiculously easy. Greek Salmon will be Tuesday night's dish. The marinade of dill, shallot, lemon, garlic, and oregano is always a hit. Double it and spoon over rice, crispy potatoes, or roasted squash. Carbonara is my ultimate comfort food, and my new favorite twist is Jan's French onion version, which has a deep flavor from caramelized onions, fresh thyme, and white wine. And I might be loving beef, but my almost 4-year-old is becoming quite the salad person. He's obsessed with the kale Caesar at our local pizza restaurant, so I'm gonna try Rachel's Pizza Caesar, inspired by Bird Pizzeria in Charlotte. Make it a full meal with baked sweet potatoes on the side. P.S.: Our new digital issue, Spring Gatherings, drops tomorrow! Be the first to get it — and unlock our best recipes for the season.

I aim for recipes that rely on familiar ingredients I already have in my pantry and drawers, and don't require too much hands-on cooking time. (Fortunately, you'll find a lot of these on The Kitchn!) Novelty is important. Cooking dinner night after night can be relentless — I gotta feel excited by what's on my plate, whether it's a new flavor, ingredient combination, or simple technique to save some time.  I eat pretty much everything. I change up my proteins throughout the week with chicken, seafood, beef, and pork making frequent appearances. And there's always room for pasta! That said, I'm not in my spicy era. I have two little boys — 3 and a half years old and 10 months — so my picks will mostly be recipes that shy away from too much heat.
