It may not be your typical chicken alfredo recipe, but this Cajun Chicken Alfredo is delicious. It contains just the right amount of spice to wake up the flavor a bit, but the spice is nicely balanced with half and half, so that even people very sensitive to spice will have no trouble enjoying this recipe. I do love Cajun recipes of all types, but ones like these are especially good for midweek nights when you want something really quick and need to keep cleanup to a minimum. I wouldn’t call this traditional alfredo, but it is certainly a yummy one-pot meal!

I must say I hesitated for a while when I came across this recipe. I do enjoy Chicken Alfredo as much as I do cajun seasoning, but had never thought of combining the two. Turns out it was a great idea!

Quick tip: Use your favorite pasta noodles and cheese for this dish.

If you have a hankering for some good Southern cookin’ and the convenience of a fast one-pot meal, give this Quick One-Pot Red Beans and Rice recipe a try. It’s great flavor without much hassle or time investment.

I love red beans and rice. It’s a classic Southern meal, particularly good for the cooler months. The traditional method involves cooking the beans with some good herbs, spices, and various types of pork until the beans (and other ingredients) practically make a gravy. It’s delicious, but it takes an incredibly long time, and then you have to cook the sausage and rice separately. This recipe lightens things up a bit (some people who aren’t fans of creamier or soupier beans may actually prefer that; I like them both ways), and even more importantly, it combines everything into one easy pot and speeds everything up while still bringing that great Deep South flavor.

Quick tip: If you like extra spicy food, add some red pepper flakes!

This Prosciutto-Wrapped Ricotta Chicken comes packaged with a delightful potato side, making it a nice one-pot meal – and a rather gourmet one at that. And you can have it ready in about an hour! I love prosciutto rolls as a snack, and they’re absolutely perfect on Triscuits. I have to admit, I hadn’t thought about using them as a part of a fancy chicken dinner.

Thanks to the use of ricotta, you have a nice, creamy flavor to go with the savory herbs and meat, but not so much creaminess that you feel really weighed down.  I suppose that some people might want to cook some sort of simple green vegetable to go with this meal, but with the delicious stuffed chicken, the prosciutto forming a savory crust, and those heavenly scalloped potatoes, I can’t say that you absolutely have to have anything else. This is a dish easy enough to have for a midweek dinner but fancy enough to serve when you have company over.

Quick tip: If you’re serving these to a larger group of people, you can double or even triple the recipe. Just bake them in two or three pans instead of trying to make everything fit into one.

It has a gourmet name and flavor to match, but this version of an Italian-American classic can be on your dinner table with fairly little prep, no hassling over the stove, and surprisingly little cleanup afterwards.  This Slow-Cooker Chicken Marsala also includes noodles in the recipe, making this a true one-pot meal.
