These protein-packed dinners make a perfectly balanced dinner!
16. Easy 6-Ingredient Sesame Chicken
Who needs to order take-out when you can make it better at home? Enjoy your filling 24 grams of protein with this sweet and savory-sauced chicken. And, since you’re making it at home, you know there are no added ingredients like MSG in the dish!
17. Slow Cooker Loaded Potato Soup
On a cold night, there’s nothing better than a comforting bowl of loaded potato soup. Thanks to the lean turkey bacon and fat-free cheese, these 21 grams of protein come in a guilt-free package. Make a double batch of this recipe – I have a feeling you’ll want leftovers!
18. One Pan Smoked Sausage and Rice
Enjoy 17 delicious grams of protein with this nod to New Orlean’s style cooking. It’s so easy to make since the smoked sausage is already cooked through. And, using only one pan makes it a breeze for cleaning up, too. You can save some time on this recipe by looking for frozen broccoli.
19. Slow Cooker Eggplant Lasagna
Skip the carbs in this recipe and use eggplant slices as your “pasta” in the layered lasagna. You’ll get 14 grams of protein in this vegetarian meal, but you could also add lean protein like chicken or ground turkey if you want to boost up the protein levels.
20. One Pan Oven Skirt Steak with Broccolini and White Beans
When you feel like splurging for steak, this is the protein-packed dinner recipe to go for. Enjoy your 21 grams of protein in a savory balsamic mustard sauce. Steak and white beans may be my new favorite healthy flavor combination!
