If you’re stuck in a dinner rut, start here.
These are the high-protein dinners you’ve been loving this month — the ones you’ve saved, remade and messaged me about. Big flavour, proper comfort and realistic for busy weeknights.
RECIPE 1:
Sticky Teriyaki Chicken Traybake
If you love bold Asian-inspired flavours but want something quick, simple and fuss-free, this Teriyaki Chicken Traybake is the perfect midweek dinner.
Juicy chicken thighs are marinated in a sticky teriyaki-style sauce made with garlic, ginger, soy and sesame oil, then roasted until the skin turns beautifully golden and crispy. Finished with fresh herbs, chilli and sesame seeds, it’s a traybake that delivers huge flavour with very little effort.
RECIPE 2:
Slow Cooker Mexican Beef & Rice
This is my cheesy, comforting Slow Cooker Mexican Beef & Rice — the ultimate all-in-one Mexican-inspired dinner. It’s rich, flavour-packed and incredibly satisfying, with spiced beef mince, smoky chipotle, fluffy rice and a golden cheesy topping. High-protein, freezer-friendly and perfect for midweek dinners, meal prep or feeding a crowd.
RECIPE 3:
Slow Cooker Herby Leg of Lamb
If you’re hosting this Sunday Dinner and want a show-stopping main with minimal effort, this Slow Cooker Herby Leg of Lamb is exactly what you need.
Slow-cooked until tender and falling apart, this lamb is infused with garlic, herbs and lemon, then cooked alongside potatoes and peppers for a full meal in one pot. It’s rich, comforting and perfect for feeding a crowd without spending hours in the kitchen.

RECIPE 5:
Creamy Spring Chicken Pie
This is my lighter take on the classic Spring Chicken Pie — creamy, golden, and full of fresh seasonal vegetables, but still under 500 calories per serving.
It’s the perfect comforting dish for family dinners, Sunday lunches, or meal-prep days when you want something wholesome and satisfying without the heaviness of traditional pies. With 26.8 g of protein per serving, flaky puff pastry, and a creamy thyme-infused filling, this one’s guaranteed to become a spring favourite.
