I’m always on the lookout for easy weeknight dinners for two! These 15 easy dinners for two definitely check off all of my boxes.

Since it’s just me and my husband, I’m afraid to make too much food since we very rarely eat left overs (I know, I know… we totally should). But, I found the following 15 easy dinners for two and wanted to share them!

Here are 15 Quick and Easy Weeknight Dinner Recipes For Two:

Guinness Shepherd’s Pie

This dish is so flavorful and a hearty meat and potato meal. It uses ground beef, onion, garlic, worcester sauce, a ½ C of beer, thyme, tomato sauce and frozen mixed vegetables. All of this is sauted in a pan while the potatoes are cooking. Add broth and thicken the meat mixture by simmering. The final step is to spoon the mixture into 2 oven proof dishes, top with mashed potatoes and cheese and bake until golden brown on top. This is a hearty meal for two created by Chocolate Moosey.

Homemade Salisbury Steak

An easy one pan meal with onions and potatoes is great in my book. The onions and red potatoes are sliced and coated in oil, salt and pepper and placed on the baking sheet. The hamburger, worchester sauce, onion powder and garlic are mixed up in a bowl and then made into mini meatloaf size and placed on top of the onions and potatoes. The drippings from the meat will give  great flavor to the potatoes and onions for a complete meal. This recipe was created by Food Fanatic.

Easy 20 Minute Teriyaki Chicken and Broccoli

A recipe that uses fresh or frozen broccoli and chicken but turns out delicious is exactly what I look for in a meal.The sauce is what brings it all together with low sodium soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, rice vinegar, water and cornstarch as your thickener. The broccoli and chicken cook quickly and then the sauce is added and it will begin to thicken. This dish over rice is amazing. Recipe was created by Table for Two

Cacio e Pepe

An introduction to the zucchini noodle could not get any better than this recipe. The bacon crumbles with the cheesy zucchini noodles has a great flavor with the red pepper flakes giving it a bit of a kick. There is nothing bland in this dinner and with the right spiral tool the noodles are easy to make. It is important to use enough fresh garlic and then the cheese is a creamy blend. This recipe was created by Inspiralized.

Speedy Sage and Sausage Pasta

A good chorizo sausage with sage and pasta sounds delicious already and all the other ingredients have not been added yet. I love a good chorizo sausage and have been able to find one at my nearby butchers. I use that in this recipe and crumble it up. It also uses penne pasta. The red pepper and chili powder add a little more zing and it is ready within 30 minutes. This recipe is by Make My Day Creative.

Lasagna for Two

I love lasagna but I always make too much and it goes to waste. This is a perfect amount for two and the seasoning is perfect. So I now use this recipe even when I make a big pan for family. Seasoned ground beef with onion, fresh garlic, oregano, basil and cloves provides a great flavor. Then use your favorite marinara sauce, ricotta cheese, 6 noodles, parmesan cheese and mozzarella and it is the perfect layered bake for two.Add a salad or garlic bread and you have a complete hot meal. This is a recipe by C.S. Monitor.

Loaded Chicken and Potato Casserole

I love easy one pan dishes and this is tasty. If you like spicy then use the full amount of hot sauce if you prefer more mild then cut back. This has 1lb of cut up chicken, red potatoes cut up, The chicken and potatoes are tossed in a bowl with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder and desired amount of hot sauce. It all goes in one pan and is topped with cheese and bacon. This usually makes a little more than 2 servings but is a great next day lunch. This recipe is by Stockpiling Moms

Bacon Butternut Hash Pasta

A recipe that starts out making a butternut hash with bacon is a way to my heart healthy bones. I know I don’t need the bacon but i use turkey bacon. The hash consists of butter, butternut squash, thyme, onion and salt and salt and pepper to taste. I always double this recipe because i like it with other things. Cook whole wheat penne pasta and grate cheese for over top the whole dish when serving.This recipe is by Kerry Gold USA.

Creamy Greek Pasta Salad

I like a pasta salad every now and then for dinner but even more when I have this greek dressing on hand. It is made from greek yogurt, lemon juice, garlic, dill and oregano. Then I use wheat pasta, cucumbers, tomatoes, red onion and black olives. Cool the pasta and then mix all ingredients together and add dressing and top with feta cheese. This makes a great dinner for two. This recipe is by Two Peas and Their Pod.

Chicken Parmesan Casserole

You will need about 1.2 lbs of cooked chicken. If you have leftover baked chicken you can use that. The chicken goes in a casserole dish, add marinara sauce, sprinkle with parmesan cheese and mozzarella cheese, mix panko bread crumbs with oil and sprinkle over top. This turns out to be a bubbly pan of goodness. It can be served over pasta or with a side salad. This recipe is by OMG Chocolate Desserts

Pesto Chicken Pasta for Two

Easy enough to cut up garlic, slice cherry tomatoes and chicken up all on the same cutting board. Roast the tomatoes in olive oil and salt and pepper. You can do the roasting while your pasta is cooking. Simmer sauce with pesto, garlic and half and half. Mix all the ingredients together. Serve with grated parmesan cheese.This recipe is by Baking Mischief.

Quick Teriyaki Chicken Rice Bowls

This easy 20 minute dinner is healthy and full of flavor. The  sauce is made from brown sugar, soy sauce, fresh minced garlic, ground ginger, rice or apple cider vinegar and cornstarch that helps it thicken. This is added after you brown your chicken in the same pan. Cook rice and a side of broccoli and serve in a bowl. Tis recipe is by Crunchy Creamy Sweet.

Spinach Artichoke Stuffed Chicken

I love a recipe that is stuffed with one of my favorite dips, Spinach and artichoke. This recipe stuffs chicken recipes with the dip and then cooks them on the stove. Simmer in an additional cream sauce and serve. This is delicious with a side of asparagus or wide egg noodles. This recipe is by Cafe Delights.

Sheet Pan Chicken Fajitas

The one sheet pan meals are super easy but taste delicious. I cut up chicken breast into strips, then green, yellow and red peppers and red onion. Put all of it in a bowl and coat with a mix of chili powder, garlic powder, cumin, paprika and onion powder with a little oil.Roasted it all in the oven and serve in warm tortillas with some grated cheese, avocado, tomatoes and sour cream if desired.

One Pan Crispy Parmesan Chicken with Veggies

This recipe coats the chicken and veggies in a crumb, parmesan coating to result in a bit of a crunchy coating on everything on the pan. The chicken with the zucchini, yellow squash and red potatoes make for a complete meal.This recipe is by The Recipe Critic.
