Our Team’s Top 21 BCP Weeknight Dinners 

This isn’t a recipe, but more inspiration that we use to create easy dinners that looks amazing and tempting.

This is the number one dinner that’s made by all of us these days, it ended up being voted by each of us as one of our top family favorite dinners. You can easily replace the chicken with the beef, and Shaindy also throws in a can of corn occasionally.

It’s one of those one-dish meals that we love with loads of flavor. It’s great together, but you can also separate the components to suit picky eaters.

The quickest shawarma dinner you will make. Freeze it so you have it as needed, or simply prep quickly for dinner right now.

In Dinner Done we upgraded this recipe with a lot more seasoning. Regardless which version you make, it’s always a fresh dinner that everyone loves.

We have a few baked schnitzels. This is the first one we posted, and it’s still a classic. One bowl, no need to dip and dredge. We also shared this in Dinner Done.

Our kids voted this baked schnitzel as the baked schnitzel that most tastes fried. We also shared it in the Best of Kosher cookbook.

One more baked schnitzel version. Everyone loves that smokey flavor …

There is no better grilled chicken than this one. We know, that’s a bold statement to make, but since sharing the recipe both on BCP and in Dinner Done, thousands of you agreed that this is perfection and the solution to boring grilled chicken! We freeze small bags/ containers with the spice mixture. It defrost in minutes and can be mixed with the chicken for an easy, no-prep dinner.

The most popular recipe in Dinner Done is our oven baked hot poppers. Here is another version that’s just as quick and easy to pull together.

As much as we like baked schnitzel, frying schnitzel is still a family favorite and this one, full of flavor, just takes it all up a notch.

A great “takeout” sandwich easily made at home.

This became “Dr. Pepper” meatballs in Dinner Done, and it’s still that family-friendly dish that our families request on repeat. 

This freezes great, and you can easily reheat it again and again, making it a fantastic dinner for families that have dinner time staggered (are you one of those moms who serve dinner all afternoon and night?).

Yes, this gorgeous dish is another family favorite! If your family has gourmet taste buds, please go for it!

The sauce is freezer-friendly so you can make a big batch, store in containers, defrost, and dump it over fish for the dish that will become your fish go-to.

Perfect that single dish that’s the most universally loved in Syrian households and a mainstay on the menu…and you should try it too if you have a family that favors dairy dinners over meat! (No exotic ingredients!)

This recipe, back from 2019, is one of our favorite soups. It’s a great, wholesome meal too. The ingredient list is so surprisingly simple for such a well-liked, rich soup. One tip: peel the zucchini and no one will be the wiser!

Another soup that can be a meal that our families love! Kids love fishing out those little dumplings out of the soup and tomato soup is a safe family-friendly one.

If you have extra garlic confit from Shabbos, you can have this elevated side dish ready with barely any effort. Skip the tomatoes if you don’t think the kids will approve.

It might not look so pretty, but it’s hard to explain how delicious and comforting this is. The barley plumps up, flavored by the chicken, and becomes so soft and creamy–almost like a risotto. Plus, you get your main and side dish in one 9×13.
