Clean and Easy Dinner Recipes for Busy Nights!
School is back in session and busy weeknights are here, despite these jam-packed fall schedules… your family still needs healthy, well-balanced meals! In my opinion, the end of summer is similar to the beginning of the new year in the sense that people recommit to enjoying clean, home-cooked meals. Given how demanding it can be to juggle weeknight meals, I thought I would share a few delicious, effortless, and healthy recipes that make dinner time so much easier!
This time last year I shared part one and two of my Healthy Back to School Dinner Recipe series, so welcome to part three!

Consider the 8 recipes below your cheat sheet to culinary simplicity… with everything from simple sheet pan recipes to mouth-watering stir-fry recipes that your family is certain to love! With a bit of planning, all of these main dish meals come together in a snap. Enjoy!

5 Step Crockpot Chicken
I will rarely pass up the chance to share my 5 Step Crockpot Chicken recipe! This recipe is as easy as it is clean and couldn’t be more delicious. Simply add ingredients to the slow cooker at the beginning of the day and enjoy it in the evening! I love serving with veggies and this rice!
Zucchini Noodle Stir-Fry with Shrimp
I think the reviews speak for themselves on this Zucchini Noodle Stir-Fry with Shrimp… a healthy twist on the traditional stir-fry by Just a Taste! Only taking 30 minutes to prepare, the sweet and savory sauce balances the low-carb Zucchini noodles so well. The recipe suggests making your own zucchini noodles using a mandoline, but there are great pre-made options to save time.

I recently made Mary’s Whole Life take on the viral Marry Me Chicken Pasta (Gluten Free) and you guys… it was DELICIOUS! I was so impressed with how clean the ingredients are and just as impressed with the ease and taste of this meal. Will definitely be making this 30-minute meal again!

Sheet Pan Chicken and Veggies
You can never go wrong with a sheet pan recipe… minimal prep and minimal clean up. This Sheet Pan Chicken and Veggies from Healthy Fitness Meals is the definition of “eating the rainbow”! Seasoned chicken breast served with a wide array of veggies… so good, clean, and easy!
Ground Beef Skillet
I always keep ground beef in the freezer, so I’m always looking for more ways to serve outside of my usual taco salad! I’m so excited to incorporate this Ground Beef Skillet recipe from Her Highness Hungry Me into my recipe rotation! Delicious quinoa, black beans, ground beef, and veggies all made in just 30 minutes. Fabulous!
Salmon Tacos with Mango Corn Salsa
I love so many of the recipes from Pinch of Yum and I have a feeling these Salmon Tacos with Mango Corn Salsa will be no different! Made with such clean and refreshing ingredients in just 25 minutes, this will be your new go-to taco night recipe! Also, imagine the Mango Corn Salsa with tortilla chips… chef’s kiss!
