Your Next Weeknight Meal Plan (And Weekend Cooking Project!)

What to Cook Next Week No Images? Click here   After a busy day, the last thing you want to do is spend hours in the kitchen pulling dinner together. Luckily, we have a wealth of delicious weeknight meals that will have you in and out of the kitchen in one hour or less. Meet our weekly dinner plan: Five easy dinners for five busy weeknights, all sent in advance so you can get your shopping done ahead of time. Cook along with us!   Your Week Ahead MONDAY Chinese-Style Layered Omelette With just eggs, salt, scallions, and soy sauce, you can make a luxurious-seeming weeknight meal in about 15 minutes. Perfect for a Monday night when all you have is eggs in the refrigerator and you don't want to cook anything complicated.    TUESDAY 1-Hour Pressure Cooker Texas-Style Chile Con Carne Real Texas chile con carne is all about the beef and the chilies. In this version, we start with toasted whole dried chilies and puree them with broth and spices before adding beef chuck and cooking the whole thing down in a pressure cooker.  WEDNESDAY Easy Butter Paneer With Spinach Butter paneer is a staple in America's Indian restaurants for a reason: it's hard to beat chunks of fresh cheese in a creamy tomato sauce. It's also easy to make at home, and a little spinach makes it more of a one-dish meal with some rice or poofy flatbread on the side. THURSDAY Spaghetti alle Vongole in Bianco In case you missed it, we're in peak season for bivalves (clams, mussels, and oysters). Celebrate by making this quick spaghetti alle vongole, a light yet flavorful classic Italian pasta infused with garlic, briny clams, white wine, and chili flakes. It's as easy as it is delicious. FRIDAY Easy Pan-Roasted Chicken Breasts With Lemon and Rosemary Pan Sauce Pan-roasted chicken with pan sauce—like this one flavored with fresh rosemary and lemon—is the ultimate weeknight staple. Throw a simple mixed green salad on the side, and you've got yourself one of our all-time favorite meals.     Your Weekend Project Ah, the weekend. Visions of time-consuming kitchen endeavors dancing in your head all week long, and finally you have the time to pursue them. But which one to choose? Let us guide your efforts with what we're taking on over the weekend.  Tate's-Style Chocolate Chip Cookies Step away from the green bag—Stella dropped her copycat Tate's chocolate chip cookie recipe this week. These thin and crispy cookies are basically the Pringles of dessert—so rich and crunchy, it's nearly impossible to eat just one.      Serious Eats 88 35th St Ste 602 Brooklyn, NY 11232-2017 Click Preferences to control which emails you receive from Serious Eats.
