Being busy during the day sometimes means losing out on nourishment in the evening. After a long day we’re more inclined to grab convenient food, order a takeaway or throw in a microwave meal. Although the thought of cooking for ourselves can sometimes make us groan, reclaim your kitchen with these easy fast and delicious dinners.

The good thing about this recipe is that if you make a larger serving, you can put them in the fridge or take them to work for lunch in tupperware. When you’re craving mexican, whip these up, add a dash of salsa and devour! Find the recipe here.
#4 Make the night before stir-fried garlic chicken
Prep time: 5 mins (plus 2 hours in fridge)
Cook time: 5 mins
This recipe can be tailored to eat immediately, but for maximum flavour it’s suggested that you leave in the fridge for minimum 2 hours stirring once or twice. To accommodate this into a career girl’s life, make on a Sunday and leave it in the fridge until Monday evening, when all you have to do is take it out and fry it for 5 minutes. Recipe here.
#5 Chicken and aubergine parmigiana
Prep & cook time: 15 mins

This is one of my personal favourite meals, I order it whenever it crops up on the menu at any Italian restaurant. It takes a little longer than some of the dishes on here but if you’re craving something hearty, delicious and healthy this is the meal for you! Get the recipe here.
You can always mix it up a little by making super easy sweet-potato fries on the side, for that all you need to do is cut the sweet potato into chips, put them into a ziplock bag and season with a tbsp of oil, a tbsp of corn flour, a tsp of garlic powder and salt and pepper. Shake the bag up and then lay them on a baking tray for 15 minutes, turn them over and wait until they’re crispy. Delicious and easy!
