30-Minute High-Protein Meals

Breakfasts, lunches and dinners ready in 30 minutes or less, including waiting time, with at least 20 g estimated protein per serving. US and metric measures.

These meals have a listed total time of 30 minutes or less and at least 20 g estimated protein per serving. Total time includes any recorded resting or waiting time. Recipes using cooked chicken, cooked grains or canned beans assume those ingredients are ready before you start.

44 recipes. Nutrition is approximate; practical kitchen testing is pending.

Start with the ingredients the recipe specifies

A wrap made with cooked chicken is a quick assembly meal; preparing that chicken from raw adds time. Check for cooked grains, drained beans and thawed seafood before choosing a recipe for tonight.

Prepare the pan and ingredients together

Read all the steps first, gather equipment and measure sauces before heating a skillet. Small, evenly cut pieces help quick recipes cook as described. A busy kitchen or unfamiliar method can take longer than the estimate.

Pick a meal, then check its portion

This collection covers breakfasts, lunches and dinners rather than dessert cups or snack recipes. Protein and calories are approximate per listed serving. Follow cooking temperatures even if your meal takes a few extra minutes.
