Here’s What to Cook Every Night This Week (May 20 – 26)

Memorial Day weekend—aka the unofficial start of summer—is almost here. Personally, I can’t wait for warm weather, alfresco hangs and all the char-grilled food that comes with it. This week, I’m recommending seven dinners that serve as a preview of the season ahead. These recipes are simple, festive and designed for sharing , so your guests will gobble them up with no hesitation.
Consider this the tropical getaway you’ve been meaning to book, minus the flight. Crank the grill up high, brush the grates with plenty of olive oil and wait until they’re hot before searing the chicken—this will keep the cutlets from sticking and guarantee a crisp exterior.
Bring this smoky number to the table and let the ooh s and ahh s commence. Use a grill pan to char the peaches and halloumi indoors if it’s rainy out. (You’ll need to briefly boil the green beans on the stove anyway.)
For a crowd-pleaser that’s hearty enough to hold its own without the help of additional sides, look no further than this one-pot gem. Typically made with pork-based andouille sausage and white rice, this version calls for chicken breast and brown rice instead for a lighter spin.
The tangy, cool, cucumber -packed yogurt sauce is the ultimate pairing for lightened-up turkey burgers, which are brimming with herbs and crushed red pepper flakes. The handhelds pair beautifully with Greek salad, wilted greens, potato chips and French fries alike.
Give the ground beef a break in favor of taco-seasoned tilapia, baked to golden perfection instead of fried. Flip the fish strips halfway through baking to keep the bottoms from getting soggy before it’s time to assemble the tacos .
Store-bought flatbread makes this summer pizza a breeze to assemble, even for newbies (There’s no sticky dough required, after all.) Top it with shards of prosciutto or crumbled Italian sausage to boost its protein content and savory notes.
Whether you serve it on sesame seed buns, atop white rice or in a salad, this sweet-and-savory main will be a hit with guests (kids too). Best of all, the Crockpot does all the heavy lifting for you: All you need to do is brown the aromatics and meat, cook until it’s tender, then shred it with two forks.
