From chicken and vegetables to true classics like spaghetti Bolognese, there are plenty of ways to prepare a satisfying dinner requiring minimal thought and effort. So, here are three quick recipes for those weeknights when you don't feel like being on your feet



It has been a long day and while the thought of dining out or getting a delivery is alluring, you want to save that for another time when you are totally spent. But who wants to toil away making a meal in the kitchen only to then clean up the mess? Well, there is an elegant solution: one-pot meals for a delicious dinner with minimal effort.

Leftover chicken and veggie pasta

This is the ultimate way to cook leftovers in my eyes. If you don't have that much leftover chicken, I like to throw whatever vegetables I have on hand into the dish. The key here is to get that creamy consistency by using plenty of onions or leeks, or both if you like! The measurements I've given here are approximate as anything goes with this one-pot wonder. I list carrots and celery but skipping them entirely or adding more is also fine. Work with what you, add what you like and feel free to experiment!
