Simple & affordable 8 ingredient recipes

KIC is on a mission to help make healthy eating delicious, nutritious and as affordable as possible.

We can’t do much about the rising cost of living, but we can make small changes to our current habits and work with it. One such change is keeping dinner-time simple.

To whip up a tasty and nutritious meal doesn’t always require a long list of ingredients. In fact, you can keep it simpler than you think and still enjoy a delicious meal that is going to support your health.

If you’re looking to make this change and keep it simple at dinner time, check out our collection of 8 or less ingredient dinner recipes.

Each recipe is dietitian approved, utterly delicious and won’t cost your time or wallet a bomb.

P.s. There’s no lettuce used in any of these recipes.

8 ingredients:

Stuffed Sweet Potato with Chilli Almond Butter Dressing (VEGAN FRIENDLY)
A healthy and hearty sweet potato stuffed with mouth-watering flavours. Your taste buds are in for a treat!

Chilli Prawn Linguine (PESCATARIAN FRIENDLY)
Two of our favourite foods in one epic dish: prawns & pasta! A must-try for any seafood-lover.

Chicken Green Curry
Tangy, creamy and slightly spicy. This version substitutes white rice for cauliflower rice however you can use whichever you prefer!

7 ingredients:

Salmon and Zoodles (PESCATARIAN FRIENDLY)
Packed full of protein and omega-3 fatty acids, this is a seriously simple and tasty meal. Oh and it’s ready in under 30 minutes – score!

Pesto Chicken Risotto
This recipe teaches you how to make a simple basil pesto, however if you’re super time poor , simply opt for a jar of store bought pesto and you’ll be down to only 3 ingredients.

Eggplant Pasta Bake (VEGETARIAN FRIENDLY)
You’ll have seen and heard Laura rave on about this dish and for good reason! This recipe is so damn cheesy, simple and delicious we think you’ll find yourself having it on repeat week to week.

Zesty Avocado Penne (VEGAN FRIENDLY)
It’s an avocado…. THANKS! Oh and they’re currently going cheap! Now, put that avocado to good use and whip up this deliciously creamy & zesty pasta the whole family will enjoy!

6 ingredients:

Chicken Cacciatore
This tasty chicken dish is so easy to make, combine all ingredients and pop into the oven. We also love the addition of kalamata olives, which add a salty, savoury element to this traditional Italian recipe.

Eggplant Parmigiana (VEGETARIAN FRIENDLY)
Enjoy this vegetarian parmigiana on its own or accompanied with a side of salad of choice to pack in even more nutrients.

Grilled Sweet and Sticky Salmon (PESCATARIAN FRIENDLY)
A highly recommended dish for all seafood-lovers. Served with chilli broccolini and creamy sweet potato mash. It’s a winner in our eyes!
