Missed some of my most popular recipes from July? Here's a collection of five of my favourite high-protein dinners from the month. From easy one pan meals to comforting slow cooker recipes, they're all packed with flavour and perfect for busy weeknights. Every recipe includes full nutritional macros.
RECIPE 1:
One Pan Chicken & Chorizo Orzo
If you’re looking for a creamy, comforting one-pan dinner that feels indulgent but still fits your macros, this Chicken & Chorizo Orzo One Pan is exactly that.
Smoky chorizo, juicy chicken thighs and tender orzo all cooked together in one pan, finished with a creamy crème fraîche sauce and melted mozzarella. It’s rich, satisfying and packed with flavour while still coming in under 600 calories with over 40g of protein per serving. Minimal washing up, maximum comfort.
RECIPE 2:
Slow Cooker Honey Garlic Chicken
This is my Asian-style Slow Cooker Honey Garlic Chicken — sweet, sticky, high in protein and unbelievably easy.
It’s the perfect fakeaway-style dinner with juicy chicken thighs cooked in a rich honey garlic sauce that becomes glossy and thick thanks to the slow cooker. Under 500 calories and over 50g of protein, it’s a meal prep hero and a family-friendly recipe that tastes better than takeout.
RECIPE 3:
One Pan Harissa Chicken & Chickpeas
If you’re craving something fragrant, spicy, and deeply satisfying — without a mountain of washing-up — this One Pan Harissa Chicken & Chickpeas recipe has you covered. Inspired by Moroccan flavours, it’s the perfect mix of crispy-skinned chicken, smoky spices, and saucy chickpeas — all cooked together in one pan for a healthy, high-protein dinner that feels like a treat.
Packed with 45g of protein per serving and ready in under 40 minutes, this dish is your new go-to for busy weeknights.

RECIPE 4:
One Pan Mexican Taco Beef Rice
This is my high protein One Pan Mexican Taco Rice cheesy, comforting and packed with bold, smoky flavour. Everything cooks together in one pan, making it perfect for busy weeknights or batch cooking for the week ahead. Spiced lean beef, fluffy rice and melted lighter cheese all finished with lime and fresh coriander it’s a proper midweek winner.
RECIPE 5:
Slow Cooker Cape Malay Beef Curry
At the end of 2024, I spent 3 weeks in South Africa — and fell completely in love with the food, especially this curry. This is my slow-cooker take on the South African Cape Malay Beef Curry: a beautifully balanced dish of sweetness, savoury spice, and warmth. The beef becomes melt-in-your-mouth tender after eight hours, coated in a rich, creamy coconut sauce infused with ginger, garlic, and aromatic spices.
It’s comfort food that feels like sunshine on a plate — easy, nourishing, and packed with depth of flavour.
