One-Pot Meals

Instant Pot Turkey Chili Verde

Here’s a lean, green chili that still packs some spicy heat!

Cauliflower Risotto

Risotto is an Italian term describing a unique way to cook rice. Basically, the rice is cooked in broth or another liquid until it and the liquid swell to a creamy union. With this version of risotto, I use the same cooking method with cauliflower rice, thereby subtracting the calories and the carbs you'd get from rice.

Instant Pot Pork Chops

These pork chops are a fantastic way to take advantage of fall flavors. If you don’t have pumpkin pie spice, you can substitute 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg, and 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger. Or, you can just skip the spice mixture and add a second cinnamon stick.

Fried Brown Rice with Kale and Turmeric

In need of more greens in your life? Start with a simple fried rice tossed with kale and made extra zesty with turmeric, garlic, and lime juice.

Baked Eggs with Coconut Milk and Cilantro

Sure, you could use heavy cream instead of coconut milk, but then it wouldn’t be as healthyish.

Cast-Iron Roast Chicken With Fennel and Carrots

Fennel and carrots perfume a roasting chicken in this one-dish dinner while soaking in flavor from the bird as it renders its fat into the skillet.

Curried Chicken Drumsticks

Braise chicken legs in a golden, aromatic coconut broth, then toss rice noodles with the warmly spiced braising liquid to serve.

Cast-Iron Roast Chicken With Winter Squash and Pancetta

Why wouldn't you throw some veggies around your bird while it roasts? You've got a hot pan that's about to be full of sizzling schmaltz just begging to bathe a mosaic of squash and onions with tons of chicken-y flavor.

Short Rib Stir-Fry

Flavored with store-bought sambal oelek, a spicy Indonesian condiment made with fresh chiles, this spicy stir-fry is fantastic served over a bowl of steamed white rice.

Pork Tenderloin with Golden Beets

Braise pork and beets in a fragrant broth flavored with sauerkraut, lemon juice, and white wine. Then top the whole thing with a sprightly mix of walnuts and herbs.

Monkfish and Cauliflower Chowder

The small bits of cauliflower gives the chowder broth a nice clean thickness.

Slow-Cooked Beef Brisket

Use this basic recipe to make Pappardelle with Slow-Cooked Brisket.

Thai Green-Curry Chicken

Minted Pea and Asparagus Risotto

This spring-themed dish works perfectly as an entrée or as a side dish.

Clam Toasts with Pancetta

Shellfish and pork are a power duo. The backbone of this clam toast is a salty-sweet pancetta soffritto with onions, fennel, and lemon zest, which add a sweet, bright flavor.

10-Minute Sausage Skillet Dinner

Packed with cherry tomatoes and tender broccolini, this one-pan dinner has a nice buttery sauce. Serve it with some crusty bread for mopping.

Chop Chop Salad

The best part? The Caesar-ish Dressing, which is egg- and-dairy-free, but still creamy and flavorful enough to make you think you’re eating a salad with a Caesar dressing.

Skillet Chicken and Rice Two Ways: Plain and Dirty

There's something about the pairing of chicken and rice that is so appealing and comforting, and these paella-like dishes are definitely perennial crowd-pleasers.

One-Skillet Chicken Alfredo Pasta

The chicken, sauce, and pasta for this dish all cook in the same pan. You can add broccoli, mushrooms, herbs, or a little chipotle at the same time that you stir in the Parmesan.

Pan-Fried Sweet and Sour Chicken

This panfried version of this classic sweet-and-tangy Chinese-American dish can be cooked in 22 minutes or less.
