Sausage, Kale, and Potato Skillet Supper
Credit: Jen Causey

There's a lot to love about one-pan meals—less clutter, less fuss, and of course, fewer dishes to wash when all's said and done. Some of our favorites include spring onion and salami sheet-pan pizza (yes, sheet-pan pizza!), which comes together in under an hour, and blackened skillet pork chops, too. Once you go one-pan, you won't look back.

Roast Chicken with Butternut Squash

Roast Chicken with Butternut Squash
Go to Recipe

Chicken quarters roasted with golden squash and sage are nice for a chilly autumn evening. To help the squash to brown evenly, be sure to spoon off the fat from the roasting pan after removing the breasts. This is a case where less is more: A thin layer of fat will brown the vegetable better than a quarter-inch of it.

"The dish is so simple," says Nigella Lawson. "Just add one or two lemons if you like—it doesn't matter. I put sage in some days, but other days I use thyme or parsley."

With this mixed seafood roast, Grace Parisi proves that a dish can be both luxurious and simple. "As a kid, I thought shrimp scampi was the height of sophistication," Grace says. "I've taken it several steps higher by adding lobster, oysters and scallops."

"Halibut is one fish that roasts up really nicely," says Melissa Perello, who cooks the firm-fleshed fish on top of vegetables in a casserole. Because this dish is so simple and ingredient-driven, be sure to make it with the very best olive oil.

When making sheet-pan pizza, bring the dough to room temp before shaping. This ensures the gluten is relaxed and the dough doesn't shrink from the pan edges.

Steak Au Poivre with Red Wine Pan Sauce

Go to Recipe

Red wine pan sauce is an amalgamation of fond (those browned bits left in the pan after searing meat), shallots, broth, good-quality red wine, and a few pats of butter to bind it all together and thicken it to a syrupy consistency. A perfect interplay of acid from the wine and sumptuous fat, the sauce is an ideal accompaniment to a peppe rcorn-crusted rib eye steak.

This brothy, aromatic seafood dish from chef Vivian Howard of Chef & the Farmer in Kinston, North Carolina, weaves steamed clams with traditional New Orleans creamed oysters. It's hearty but not heavy, and the winter greens make it a full meal. Crusty bread is a must for sopping up the coveted broth.
