One pot dinners

lillilanda

Anyone have any one pot meals? My only criteria is that the recipe is truly one pot, meaning that it contains a full dinner's worth of vegetables. Meat and carb is Not a complete meal! We pretty much eat anything and I generally don't watch macros, so all recipes are welcome.

My go to, once spring arrives, is grilled shish kabobs - zucchini, onions, carrots, tomatoes, potatoes, and meat chunks marinated in the AM and tossed on the grill after work.

Do you have a slow-cooker? A nice roast or some chicken, along with veggies (you might want to brown the meat first, before it goes into the slow-cooker).

Speaking of grilling, you can do meat and veggies on the grill--but in little foil pouches instead of skewers.

I like the Jewish comfort food that my grandmother made. And the only carbs in it are from vegetables. You can make this in a slow cooker or on the stove.

Chicken in the pot

6 chicken thighs or a cut-up whole chicken (I just use thighs because I like them)
4 carrots
3 stalks of celery
1 onion
1 tablespoon salt
pepper to taste
Chopped Parsley
optional: 2 parsley roots, peeled and sliced

In a large soup pot, put in the chicken and sliced vegetables except the parsley, and salt and pepper. Fill with water to cover. If you are using a crock pot, use about two cups of water and however many of the ingredients fit into the crock pot

Bring to a boil then bring down heat to a gentle simmer for about three hours if on the stove, or all day in the crock pot on low. Season with more salt and pepper.

You can serve as is, or take the meat off the bones, shred it, and add it back to the pot. Garnish each bowl with chopped parsley.

One of my favorite for the family is homemade sloppy joe's. My family will never eat canned sloppy joe's ever again. This is so much better!
