Anyone else tired of the same boring dinner recipes? I need an easy chicken dinner but I’m tired of the same boring chicken. 

I’m so tired of making the same chicken dinner! So I set out to create something new for anyone else that’s trying to make a quick and easy dinner with boneless, skinless chicken.

My qualifications were it had to be:

  • quick
  • family-friendly
  • pantry-friendly
  • inexpensive
  • different enough to feel exciting

I tried a few different chicken recipes from the top bloggers but they ended up laborious, flavorless or kind of dry. I hate dry chicken. Which meant, I had added a new category to my checklist, cannot be dry! And my friends, after months of testing I ended up back at an old, lost recipe from our newlywed years. You are going to be OBSESSED!

Forget takeout! These teriyaki chicken rice bowls have juicy grilled chicken, fresh sautéed veggies and the stickiest homemade teriyaki sauce, all ready in about 30 minutes.

It’s faster than takeout, uses simple ingredients, and makes an easy weeknight dinner everyone can customize.

Yesterday I said to my husband, I want takeout-style teriyaki chicken, but I need an easy dinner I can make at home. And voila, we made these awesome teriyaki rice bowls!

The reality is, you want takeout but don’t have the time to pick up, budget to eat out or desire to eat fast food. So what do you do when you’re craving takeout?  Skip the Takeout: This Easy Teriyaki Chicken Bowl Is Ready in 30 Minutes and makes a great freezer meal!

The first time I made teriyaki chicken at home I was so disappointed by the dry chicken with a watery sauce that was overly sweet and nothing like my favorite takeout. We had to test a lot of different recipes and styles (ditch the slow cooker this time) to come up with a 20-30 minute dinner idea that’s a cheap recipe on a busy weeknight. Buying a low sodium sauce helps it not be too salty that you need to load it with brown sugar and still maintains the flavor. 

But there was still one problem: thin and watery sauce was not what I remembered from our local restaurant. I need a thick, glossy and sticky sauce. The perfect amount of cornstarch or ez gel solved that problem with just a few turns of the whisk and heat set to simmer!

This one pot Garlic Butter Pasta is creamy, cozy, and packed with rich flavor from garlic, butter, and freshly grated parmesan. Sometimes the simplest recipes are the ones you come back to over and over again.

It’s the perfect quick dinner, easy side dish, or late-night comfort meal that is ready in just 15 minutes!

In college, I lived on buttery noodles with mozzarella or Parmesan cheese. It was quick, easy, and I wasn’t super into spaghetti sauce, so it was my way of enjoying pasta. It’s perfect for anyone who’s single, in college, has a family, or is an empty nester, so I love that it works for everyone! This garlic butter pasta is an elevated version of my dorm room favorite!

Ingredients You’ll Need For Garlic Butter Pasta

This recipe uses just a handful of pantry staples, but when they come together, the result is silky, flavorful pasta with incredible depth. Freshly grated parmesan makes all the difference here, so don’t skip that step.

  • Fresh Parmesan Cheese: Freshly grated for the best melt and flavor. Blending it into a fine texture helps it cling beautifully to the pasta.
  • Olive Oil: Sautés the garlic and help toast the pasta slightly for added depth.
  • Garlic: Minced fresh garlic gives the dish its signature savory flavor.
  • Ditalini Pasta: Small tube-shaped pasta that cooks directly in the broth and absorbs flavor as it softens. Orzo or macaroni works in a pinch.
  • Chicken Broth: Cooks the pasta while infusing it with rich, savory flavor.
  • Heavy Cream: Adds silkiness and brings everything together into a smooth sauce.
  • Unsalted Butter: Stirred in at the end for richness and a glossy finish.
  • Salt and Black Pepper: Balance and enhance all the flavors.
  • Fresh Parsley: Adds freshness and color right before serving.
  • Aglio Seasoning or Red Pepper Flakes: Optional for a little heat and extra depth.

With just a few simple ingredients, this one pot garlic butter pasta transforms into a creamy, garlicky dish. Measurements can be found in the recipe card below.

How to Make This Pasta Dish

This is a true one-pot pasta recipe, meaning the noodles cook right in the broth. That means less cleanup and more flavor infused into every bite.

  1. Blend: Add a chunk of Parmesan to a blender and pulse until finely grated, almost powdery. This helps it melt smooth

I changed one ingredient and ended up making the gooiest Cheesy Summer Zucchini Pasta that might be better than Mac N Cheese!

By the middle of summer, our garden is producing more zucchini than we know what to do with. Our cheesy zucchini pasta recipe is full of caramelized zucchini, toasted pine nuts and the creamiest mozzarella cheese sauce ever!! What’s my secret ingredient?

Secret to A Gooey Cheese Sauce

While I love zucchini bread as much as anyone, sometimes I just want savory ways to use my zucchini, and this is my new favorite!

Tender zucchini and yellow squash are slowly cooked until they’re golden and sweet, then tossed with cavatappi pasta in a creamy whipped cottage cheese sauce! It’s fresh enough for summer but delicious enough to make all year long.

This recipe was inspired by the flavors in our summer zucchini chowder. With garlic, herbs, fresh basil, parmesan, mozzarella, and toasted pine nuts this is an easy pasta dinner that’s perfect for busy weeknights.

Ingredients You’ll Need

Zucchini

Pasta

  • Cavatappi Pasta: Those corkscrew shapes catch all the creamy sauce in every bite. Rotini, fusilli, penne, or shells are great substitutes.
