If I could give you one thing back at the end of a busy day, it would be time – and if there’s one type of recipe that does exactly that, it’s a one-pan dinner. Everything goes in one pan, one pot or one tray, which means less prep, less washing up and more of your evening back. That’s the dream, isn’t it?
These five one-pan dinners are some of the most popular recipes on my website, and for good reason. One-pan Lemon Garlic Chicken and Potatoes is the kind of hands-off dinner where you throw everything in and let the oven do the work. One-pot Creamy Bolognese means no draining, no multiple pots – just one pan from start to finish. The One-pan Beef Ramen Noodles are ready in under 20 minutes, One-pan Greek Chicken and Risoni is packed with flavour and practically cooks itself, and the One-pan Chicken and Broccoli Lasagne is pure comfort food without hours of layering.
Less time at the sink. Less mess on the bench. More time on the couch. One-pan dinners really are the holy grail of weeknight cooking – and these five are a great place to start.
