Most of us are working people, so in the evening there is no particular desire to cook something complicated. On the other hand, not everyone manages to eat normally during the day, which means dinner should be hot and quite filling. But what if you don’t want to load yourself with extra calories at night, and eating too much food will interfere with good sleep? This is a non-trivial problem that has to be solved every evening. Let's try to come up with a few solutions and whip up dinner.

Quick dinner recipes

Simple quick dinner can be made from eggs. Eggs have a balanced composition; they will provide us with proteins, fats and carbohydrates, but will not burden the stomach too much. Eggs are good on their own or in combination with many other foods. Scrambled eggs and bacon should probably be left for breakfast, but various omelettes would be quite appropriate for dinner.

To prepare an omelet, we will need:

Eggs 3 pcs.

Several sprigs of greens

Salt, pepper, oil for frying

Hard cheese 20g

Break three eggs into a bowl and mix them with a fork, adding salt and pepper. There is no need to try to whip up a fluffy foam, just mix the white and yolk. Chop the greens with a knife, add to the egg mixture and mix. Heat a frying pan and melt a piece of butter in it. Pour the contents of the bowl into the pan. When the bottom layer of the omelet becomes dense, we begin to carefully roll the egg pancake into a roll. Before wrapping it for the last time, sprinkle the free edge of the omelette with grated cheese.

In the summer you can make an omelet with zucchini. To do this, simply add grated zucchini to the egg mixture.

For those who did not have the opportunity to have a hearty lunch, it is enough quick dinner in a hurry Can be made with chicken and potatoes. Ingredients:

Chicken (quarters, thighs or drumsticks) about 1kg

Potatoes 600g

Salt, pepper and other spices to taste

Mayonnaise optional

Peel the potatoes and cut into thin slices. Wash the chicken, remove all excess (bones, skin from legs, etc.), salt, rub with spices. If you have quarters, you can separate the drumstick from the thigh. The fat may not be removed or only partially removed. You can bake it in foil or in a sleeve, so the dish will cook faster and be more juicy. Line a baking sheet or pan with foil, leaving a free edge. Spread the potatoes in an even, overlapping layer and lightly add salt. Place chicken pieces on top of the potatoes. If desired, the skin can be lightly greased with mayonnaise or sour cream. Cover everything with the free edge of the foil and secure it. Bake in an oven preheated to 200-220 degrees for 45-50 minutes. You only need to lubricate the mold with fat if you only have drumsticks; the fat that is rendered from the chicken will be enough.

Quick and easy dinner can be made with vegetables or vegetables and cheese. For example, a great option for summer is Greek. Ingredients:

Tomatoes 300g

Cucumbers 300g

Large bell pepper 1 pc.

Cheese or feta 150g

Salad onions 1 pc.

Olives or black olives 2-3 tbsp. spoons

Fresh or dried herbs (oregano, basil, marjoram)

For refueling

Wine vinegar or lemon juice 1 tbsp. spoon

Olive oil 2-3 tbsp. spoons
