6 High-Protein Meals That Only Need 5 Ingredients

Classic protein-heavy meals can often be a major undertaking, including hours of preparation and a million ingredients. Roast chicken, fancy poached fish, slow-cooked beef stews—these kinds of dishes need to be coddled. When you’re working all day long, you don’t exactly have the time to baste your bird or sear your steak. So you stick to a boring chicken breast and dream of the day when you have all the time and energy you need to pull together something more impressive.

Low, slow, and complicated isn’t the only way to make a flavorful high-protein meal. In fact, a little can go a very long way as long as you’re properly cooking your protein. These six recipes each call for only five ingredients (that’s not including salt and pepper), and they take little to no time to throw together.

Pesto Chicken from Cafe Delites — For this recipe, you can either use store-bought pesto, or, if you have the time, make your own. Then, it's as simple as throwing all of your ingredients together on a pan and sticking it in the oven for less than an hour. Get the recipe here.

Cheesy Cauliflower Soup from Pinch Of Yum — Low-cal, cheesy, and it only needs 5 ingredients? You bet. Cauliflower gives this soup a hearty, filling texture, and a nice hit of cheese provides that protein. Get the recipe here.

Seaside Paleo Breakfast Salad from Eating Bird Food — While this may technically be a "breakfast" salad, we think it's fair to eat it any time of the day. Eggs and sardines add a French-style protein kick, and juicy artichokes and spicy arugula freshen things up. Get the recipe here.

Pesto Chicken Zoodles With Burst Tomatoes from Joyful Healthy Eats — We can't get enough of the zoodles. They take way less time than pasta to prepare (because you don't actually have to cook them).
