This week\u2019s dinner plan is all about keeping things simple\u2014without skimping on nutrition or flavor. I\u2019ve rounded up meals packed with at least 15 grams of protein<\/a> per serving to help support muscle health and keep me feeling satisfied.

Whether you\u2019re looking to reduce dinnertime stress or just want some fresh dinner inspiration, this plan has you covered.

Cauliflower<\/a> keeps things veggie-forward, while ground beef and melted cheese make this dish super satisfying. While it\u2019s cooking, I\u2019ll make a side of farro for a serving of whole grains, too.\n<\/p>\n Monday: Cheesy French Onion Chickpeas <\/p>\n Photographer: Alex Huang.<\/p>\n This skillet is a gut-friendly<\/a> riff on the classic French onion soup. Caramelized onions add deep flavor, while melted cheese makes this dish irresistibly gooey. Chickpeas offer plant-based protein and prebiotic fiber<\/a> that feeds the good bacteria in our gut. I\u2019ll serve it with a piece of whole-wheat baguette for dipping.\n<\/p>\n Tuesday: One-Pan Garlicky Shrimp & Rice <\/p>\n Caitlin Bensel<\/p>\n Shrimp<\/a> is high in protein, cooks quickly and absorbs flavor fast, making it ideal for this weeknight-friendly dish. Garlic, herbs and a squeeze of lemon add brightness, while brown rice and veggies offer filling fiber. On the side, I\u2019ll add some mixed greens tossed in our Balsamic Vinaigrette<\/a> for a crisp contrast.\n<\/p>\n Wednesday: Lemon Chicken Orzo with Cabbage <\/p>\n Photographer: Jen Causey, Food Stylist: Margaret Monroe Dickey, Prop Stylist: Josh Hoggle.<\/p>\n This simple meal comes together with minimal effort but delivers big-time comfort. Orzo simmers directly in the pan with chicken and tender cabbage, absorbing all the lemony, savory flavors. You could opt for pre-shredded cabbage to speed up the prep time. This Mediterranean diet\u2013friendly<\/a> dinner combines grains, lean protein and vegetables for a balanced meal.\n<\/p>\n Thursday: Baked Feta, Tomato & White Bean Skillet <\/p>\n Photographer: Brittney Cottrell, Food stylist: Marianne Williams, Prop Stylist: Josh Hoggle<\/p>\n I love baked feta in all forms, but this recipe takes it to a new level. Creamy feta melts into juicy tomatoes and hearty white beans in this mouthwatering vegetarian main. It\u2019s a warm, protein-packed meal that requires just one step and 15 minutes of active time. Plus, the beans and vegetables contain anti-inflammatory compounds<\/a> that help your body function at its best.\n<\/p>\n Friday: Chicken Piccata Soup <\/p>\n Photographer: Robby Lozano, Food Stylist: Margaret Monroe Dickey, Prop Stylist: Josh Hoggle.<\/p>\n This hearty soup takes the bright, lemony flavors of classic chicken piccata and transforms them into a cozy one-pot dinner. Lean chicken breast contributes to the 26 grams of protein in each serving. Orzo and vegetables add fiber, helping round out the meal and make it even more satisfying. Bonus: The leftovers pack up beautifully for lunch.\n<\/p>\n I wish you all a great week, and I hope you enjoy this dinner plan.
