Easy One-Pot Meals

Very few meals authentically scream ‘comfort food', but this dish definitely does. Lean chicken combines with a plentiful portion of vegetables and plump dumplings in a one-pot dinner that comes together quick enough to make it to the table on a busy weeknight.

This quick-cooking one-pot meal goes from stove to stomach in less than 30 minutes. Loaded with cheese, broccoli and cherry tomatoes, the entire meal is prepped in one dish (no straining or draining required), and can easily be customized with a variety of add-ins to suit your family's palate.

This dish is nice and easy to cook for a crowd because it's all done in one pot and looks pretty when placed on the table. A simplified version of the traditional cassoulet, it's a healthy main course that can be paired with warm bread and a simple green salad for a quick and complete meal.

Looking for a make-ahead meal that tastes just as great the next day? Then this brisket is designed for you. Slather the beef with a simple mixture of barbecue and apple sauces and let the meat cook low and slow in the oven while you carry on with other things. Add a few fingerling potatoes and carrots to the pot at the end for a full meal in the making.
