Weeknight Mains: Chicken, Beef and Stuffed Dishes

Hundreds of recipes by Evelyn Monroe – dinners built on chicken, beef, squash and rice.

Profile:

Evelyn Monroe's recipes center on the dinner plate. Most of her work sits in Mains: baked potato stuffed chicken, cranberry BBQ air fryer tenderloin, chicken fried rice with a golden pan-sear, stuffed acorn squash and a pizza burger that comes together in 25 minutes. A smaller group of Appetizers, such as homemade asiago bagels and pear and apple grilled cheese with caramelized onions, rounds out the table.

What ties these dishes together is practicality. Recipes state serving counts and realistic times up front, steps follow the order you actually work in, and the flavor comes from familiar ingredients used with care: a good sear, a well-seasoned filling, a sauce that finishes in the same pan. Many dishes suit home equipment you already own, from a skillet to an air fryer.

If you are planning a weeknight dinner or a relaxed meal for guests, start with her main courses and pick the one that fits your evening.
