Our Top 5 Tips on Getting Dinner Done Quicker

Simple Thai Chicken Salad with Cabbage, Carrots, and Cashews

Tip 1: No bones about it 

Boneless cuts of meat are a quick-cooking staple. They’re ready in a fraction of the time it takes to cook bone-in pieces, and as long as you keep an eye on the cook time, they end up juicy and full of flavor. 

Tip 2: Work strategically 

After the chicken is cooked, it needs to rest before you slice it. Use this time to make the dressing and assemble the salad, so it all comes together even faster.

Seasoning is key and spices, like our signature Tex-Mex seasoning blend (made with 5 different spices), are a great way boost flavor in one easy step—much quicker than searching your pantry for individual spices.

Tip 5: Any stew will do

Stews, chowders, and soups usually have the one-pot advantage. Cooking the ingredients together delivers a ton of flavor without a lot of steps (bonus: less clean-up). 

Tip 6: Ditch the peeler

We recommend you scrub the potatoes instead of peeling them for a couple of reasons: Potato skins are a good source of fiber and iron, as well as protein, potassium, and magnesium. Also, by leaving them on, you’ll save yourself some time in the kitchen.
