Sunday’s25-Minute Chicken & Veggie Enchiladasare a cozy and easy idea for a weekend dinner! This hearty casserole-like dish uses convenient ingredients to cut down on prep time, such as cooked chicken breast and premade salsa. Plus, the broiled cheese adds extra comfort. This recipe also uses zucchini, summer squash and onion in the filling—but if I end up having leftover cooked veggies in the fridge from the weekend, I’ll use them up in this recipe instead.
Thursday’sLemon-Garlic Dump Chicken Thighs with Broccolimight just be the easiest dinner of the week. Dump dinners are just like the name implies—you simply dump your no-prep-needed ingredients into your baking dish and cook—making them a great option when you need streamlined cooking and easy cleanup. In addition to helping you feel fuller,rich-fiber veggieslike broccoli and onion feed your gut bacteria, which as a result will support your immune health.

And according to anew study, an afternoon exercise session might be the better way to go, anyway. Research published in the journalDiabetologiafound that exercising during the afternoon or evening (between noon and midnight) can help keep your blood sugars better balanced (and thus, your energy levels more stable) than exercising earlier in the day. The study focused on people with diabetes, but the beneficial finding can apply to anyone.
