Chickpea pasta meets chicken, blue cheese, and buffalo sauce in this creamy and comforting pasta dish that’s high in protein and fiber. Gluten-free.

One-Pan Parmesan Caesar Chicken

This One-Pan Parmesan Caesar Chicken only calls for 5 ingredients – many of which you probably already have in your kitchen – and is nearly effortless to prepare. I have a good feeling this dish will become one of your family’s favorite, go-to meals!

This sheet pan citrus salmon with roasted vegetables is a one-dish dinner that’s simple to throw together at the last minute. If you’re looking for a lighter meal that’s lower in carbs and high in protein, this is it. Gluten-free and dairy-free.

One-Pan Sweet Potato Hash

This tried-and-true recipe is one that we make again and again. It comes together in no time at all, especially if you use pre-cut sweet potatoes, and since it only requires one pan for cooking, there isn’t much clean-up either! It’s also great for breakfast!

This 5-ingredient (yep), one-pain barbecue chicken with bacon (!) is one of our favorites. It’s juicy, hearty, and makes the best leftovers!
