- Figuring out what to make for dinner can be SO challenging - especially when you're cooking for small numbers. The next time you’re cooking for one or two, try these three EASY 10 minute meals!
You just need a pre-cooked chicken breast and a handful of things from the produce section to rock a Speedy Veggie & Chicken Stirfry, Taco Tuesday, or an amazing Comfort Food Italian Chicken & White Bean Soup.
They're all so simple to make, super-delicious, low carb, gluten-free, and low in WW(formally Weight Watchers) Smartpoints too. In the video, I give lots of different ways to adapt these simple ingredients for different tastes. Plus you can easily scale them up to feed a crowd!
Which one would you try first? LMK in the comments below! XO Julie

My personal fave is the easy Taco Tuesday Dinner (I make it all the time!). Which one would you want to try??
Right now I’m totally into soups! So that one first!!
I love your videos
Yes I will start canning up my beans easy meals and having frozen rice bowls on hand for fast and easy meals.
Hi Julie, thank you for your amazing recipes. I cook for one so I watch my food budget carefully. I buy frozen stir fry vegetables on special, always have frozen onion, fresh corn off the cob (steamed and frozen), spring onions (green onions) cut with herb scissors and frozen. I buy capsicums (peppers) on special, cut and freeze them so l always have vegetables on hand for a stir fry. For chicken (I don't eat meat) I will buy chicken breasts (or tenderloins) on special, cook them in an instant pot or airfryer and freeze them in meal size portions. I keep all my asian sauces in the fridge once opened and I do use crushed garlic (also buy that on special). I find I am able to do a wide range of meals so, as you said, I am not eating the same meal for 4 nights in a row. I only use spray oil as I find that goes much further and pouring oil from a bottle. I hope this helps your viewers, who are finding food so expensive now. If I want to extend the meal to 2 serves (I also have a sister who lives on her own opposite me) I will add noodles and this makes enough for the two of us. Please continue on with your great work. Best wishes for a wonderful New Year, Beth
My go-to garlic is crushed/minced jarred garlic from my local Asian stores. It's much finer than the minced garlic in regular stores and has a better flavor (and can often be found with the only preservative being citric acid). Very helpful video!
Love it! So great to keep things like that on hand to make healthy cooking easier & yummier too - glad my tips helped! You can find more easy ideas at juliehartigan.com/cooking-for-1/
Thanks Julie! This video is awesome! I'm not a bad cook, but I'm a lazy one and this is what I needed to hear
Hi Dylan - I’m so glad it was helpful!! ❤️ (& I totally hear you on wanting easy & fast!) I’ve got a free cookbook on my website you can grab w “10 Fun Healthy Meals for One in Under 20 Mins” that you’d love! juliehartigan.com/free-meals-for-one/
Great idea about keeping the pre-chopped veggies from going bad . I hated seeing cilantro go bad before I got to use it all. If you chose the whole bunch after washing it. Then just leave it out on a kitchen towel until it is completely dry. Chop up what you want to use and put the rest in a plastic bag with a paper towel and it will last for a really long time.
These are two good recipes! I can’t wait to try!!
Thank you! I'm so glad you liked them. LMK what you think after you make them :)
I live alone and love to cook but I don’t really wasting food. I’m learning different ways of repurposing ingredients. Thank you for these great ideas!
Hi! I’m so happy to hear it’s helping! Cooking for 1 definitely has its own challenges - If you’d like more easy ideas…I have a free cookbook called 10 Fun Meals for One & also another video “one chicken-3 fast meals” here on my website: juliehartigan.com/cooking-for-1/
