CloseIt’s the beginning of the new year, and I know we’re all trying to get back into the swing of things. To help, this week’s recipes take just 35 minutes or less to prep. The total time might be a little longer, but I don’t mind having that hands-off time while something is in the oven or simmering on the stovetop. It gives me a moment to start a load of laundry or just tidy things up around the house. These dinners are alsohigh in protein(offering at least 15 grams per serving). One of my health goals this year is to continue to be cognizant of myprotein intaketo ensure that I maintain rather than lose muscle mass as I age, and this lineup helps me do just that.

Plus, a 3-ounce serving provides20 grams of protein! In this one-pan recipe, the chicken thighs are paired withartichokes, which are high in fiber, and lemon, which adds welcome bright notes. Serve it all with some steamed frozen corn.View Recipe02of 06Monday: Creamy Lemon & Spinach Pasta BakeFred Hardy (photographer); Jennifer Wendorf (food stylist); Shell Royster (prop stylist)This baked pasta is light and flavorful. It takes just 30 minutes to cook the pasta, mix the components and transfer it all to the baking dish. The rest of the time is hands-off while the flavors meld, and all the cheese melts. While the dish is vegetarian, it still has 18 grams of protein per serving, thanks to the whole-wheat pasta and thedairy. A generous amount ofspinachmeans it’s packed with other vitamins and nutrients too.View Recipe03of 06Tuesday: Turkey Meatballs with Green Beans & Cherry TomatoesGround turkeyis another go-to protein source in my house. It’s so easy to transform into meatloaf or meatballs or just sauté on its own. For this recipe, it’s combined with breadcrumbs, egg, prosciutto, cheese and seasonings and shaped into meatballs. The meatballs roast on one side of the baking sheet while green beans roast on the other and cherry tomatoes roast separately. It all comes together for a colorful, protein-packed dinner. Serve it with brown rice.View Recipe04of 06Wednesday: Coconut-Curry Chicken CutletsThis is such a fast but elegant weeknight dish. Chicken cutlets get so much flavor from a sauce made with coconut milk, brown sugar, curry paste and lime juice. The sauce is lively and has a hint of heat, which is so nice for a winter meal. Serving the chicken withquinoaensures that this dish is packed with protein.

For these, halibut is seared, then flaked and piled onto corn tortillas with pico de gallo, queso fresco and a colorful slaw.
