    How To Make Skillet Recipes

    To make a skillet recipe for dinner, I suggest you pick out a protein you like, a couple of veggies, starch like potatoes, pasta or grain, and season your ingredients well. Below, I am sharing a roundup of healthy one skillet meals – chicken skillet recipes, beef skillet recipes, pork skillet recipes, seafood skillet recipes and even some vegetarian and vegan options. I hope they help you make your weeknight dinners less stressful.

    Most of these dinner recipes are great for meal prepping too so be sure to add your favorite skillet dinner recipes to your weekly rotation.

    Often, when people hear the term “one pot recipes”, the first meals that come to mind are stove top meals like chili, pasta, and eggs.
    However, some of those meals require more than one pot to make. One pot meals require just one pot or saucepan. Another term for them is skillet dinners.

    A skillet (a pan with sloped sides) is the pan I cook with most often.
    For example, when I make stir fry or saute veggies, it is typically done in a skillet. I find that food is easier to move around in skillets.

    Skillet Recipes with Beef

    Beef is one of the proteins with the highest amount of fat and calories. To keep meals made with beef healthier, use lean cuts, with no more than 10 percent fat if possible.

    Chicken Skillet Recipes

    Using poultry to make skillet dinner recipes ensures that your meal will be packed with lean protein. To keep the fat and calories at their lowest, use boneless, skinless chicken breast.

    Pork Skillet Recipes

    Pork is an incredibly versatile protein, especially when you use it to make skillet recipes. It cooks quickly and comes in many forms, from chops to sausages, and even bacon!

    Vegetarian and Vegan Skillet Recipes

    These skillet recipes don’t call for meat, but that doesn’t mean the meals aren’t packed with protein! Quinoa, tofu, legumes, and cheese are all great sources of protein. The addition of vegetables in these skillet dinners makes for meals that are wholesome, healthy, and delicious!

    Fish and Seafood Skillet Recipes

    When you make skillet recipes for dinner that call for fish or seafood, you can be sure that your dinner will be on the table quickly. Many types of seafood take less than 10 minutes to cook in a skillet!
