Some key ingredients you’ll find amongst many of these easy one pan dinners

Proteins: chicken breasts, salmon, butter beans and ground turkey are the main proteins used in these one pan dinner recipes

Vegetables: you can find a variety of colourful vegetables in these one pan dinner recipes like brussels sprouts, bell peppers, zucchini, kale, spinach, tomatoes and asparagus
