Main Dishes
Easy Crock Pot Pot Roast (with Gravy!)
Crock pot pot roast cooks a browned chuck roast with potatoes, carrots, onion, and a savory beef broth. A measured portion of the cooking juices becomes a smooth gravy for serving over the tender beef and vegetables.
Black Bean Taco Pasta with Turkey or Chicken
Black bean taco pasta combines ground turkey or chicken, black beans, corn, and tomatoes with pasta cooked directly in seasoned broth. Melted cheddar finishes the skillet with a creamy coating and familiar taco flavors.
Creamy Chicken Pot Pie Pasta Recipe
Creamy chicken pot pie pasta mixes cooked chicken, frozen vegetables, and a cheddar cream-of-chicken sauce with a pound of pasta. It makes four generous servings with familiar pot pie flavors and no pastry to roll.
Chicken and Rice Casserole with Mixed Vegetables
Chicken and rice casserole combines cooked chicken, cooked rice, frozen vegetables, and cheddar in a soft cream-of-mushroom filling. Everything is mixed before baking, making it a practical way to turn prepared ingredients into six portions.
White Chicken Enchilada Pasta
White chicken enchilada pasta brings together shredded cooked chicken, green chiles, cheddar, and a tangy sour cream coating. It has the flavors of a creamy Tex-Mex dinner with pasta instead of rolled tortillas.
Easy Creamy Garlic Shrimp (15 Minutes)
Creamy garlic shrimp features tender shrimp in a buttery garlic sauce finished with heavy cream and Parmesan. It is a 15-minute skillet recipe when you start with thawed, peeled, and deveined shrimp.
Creamy Chicken Orzo with Asparagus
Creamy chicken orzo combines bite-size chicken, tender asparagus, and rice-shaped pasta in a cream-and-cheese sauce. The orzo cooks in chicken broth, so you get a complete skillet dinner without boiling a separate pot of pasta.
Chicken Parmesan Casserole with Ricotta
Chicken Parmesan casserole combines cooked shredded chicken with marinara, ricotta, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning under a mozzarella-and-Parmesan topping. This is a soft, cheesy bake with six small portions, and a cup of cooked pasta can be folded into the filling if you want it.
Greek Chicken Bowls
Greek chicken bowls combine lemon-and-oregano chicken with cooked rice or quinoa, cucumber, tomatoes, red onion, and a cool yogurt tzatziki. The recipe makes four bowls, with optional feta for a salty finishing touch.
