Even when made in just one pot, these easy dinners are never boring.

Serve this hearty chicken and potatoes dinner with a simple side salad to sneak in another serving of veggies.

Cooking the pasta right in the sauce saves time and cleanup while infusing the noodles with more flavor.

Charring the veggies in a cast-iron skillet adds depth of flavor.

This one-pan dinner is perfect for company, but easy enough to make on a weeknight.

Serve the chicken cutlets, mushrooms and creamy sauce over egg noodles with a green salad on the side.

Cumin, saffron, and oregano season rich chicken thighs and nutty farro as the dish simmers.

Using store-bought rotisserie chicken saves time when cooking, and leftover chicken would work just as well.

(Allow the soup to cool slightly before stirring in the yogurt so it doesn’t curdle.)

This soup would be equally delicious chilled.

Opt for whole-wheat gnocchi to get 2 extra grams of fiber per serving compared to white.

We season the vegetables and protein in stages, with the end result being a punch of flavor.

Crumbled bacon adds a salty note to complete the dish.

The boost of flavor from maple syrup, apple-cider vinegar and spices makes all the difference!
