Think all the saucy, cheesy goodness of chicken Parmesan turned into a pasta bake. A sprinkle of breadcrumbs on top and a half-hour in the oven, and the casserole is ready to eat. Serve it with a mixed greens salad topped with your favorite dressing.\n<\/p>\n

Monday: Broccoli-Cheddar Butter Beans <\/p>\n

This dish brings all the comfort of broccoli-Cheddar soup<\/a>, bolstered with fiber-rich butter beans to help support your gut health. Use toasted baguette slices to scoop up all the cheesy goodness.\n<\/p>\n

Tuesday: Lemony Salmon & Orzo Casserole <\/p>\n

Having company? This bright, lemony salmon casserole is sure to impress. The salmon cooks atop a flavorful mixture of orzo, leeks, tomatoes and asparagus. Leeks and asparagus are both sources of prebiotics, which feed the good bacteria in your gut. Serve with toasted whole-wheat baguette left over from Monday\u2019s dinner.\n<\/p>\n

Wednesday: Chicken & Sweet Potato Enchilada Skillet <\/p>\n

This enchilada skillet is just as tasty as the namesake dish but skips the rolling step. And you might even find that you get better distribution of all the ingredients, like the chicken, sweet potatoes and pinto beans, in this skillet version. Keeping the peel on the sweet potatoes means you\u2019re getting even more fiber.\n<\/p>\n

Thursday: Creamy Lemon-Parmesan Broccoli & White Bean Casserole <\/p>\n

Under a cheesy topping, you\u2019ll find a delightful mixture of hearty farro, tender broccoli and creamy white beans. The beans contribute both plant-based fiber and protein<\/a>, ensuring that the dish is satisfying, while the broccoli and farro give it even more fiber plus some texture to keep each bite interesting.\n<\/p>\n

Friday: Spinach, Feta & Rice Casserole <\/p>\n

Photographer: Jen Causey, Food Stylist: Emily Nabors Hall, Prop Stylist: Priscilla Montiel<\/p>\n

This dish transforms the flavors and ingredients of spanakopita into an easy casserole. The mixture of brown rice, feta and spinach comes together quickly so you can have dinner on the table in less than an hour. Serve it with whole-wheat toast.\n<\/p>\n
