1 pot/pan meals

OK, looking for some great 1 pan dishes. Trying to make my life a little easier a few nights a week.

Anyone have any good recipes?

I LOVE this one and its really easy:
Healthified Mexican Pasta Skillet

Also Stirfry is great- get the prepackaged veggies, precooked chicken or shrimp and cook in pan (I cook mine with Yoshida Sauce from BJs/Costcos)

I just made this last night and it was delish:

Lightened Up Paella:

1 tsp olive oil, extra-virgin
3 clove(s) garlic clove(s), minced (medium)
1 medium sweet red pepper(s), seeded and chopped
1 medium tomato(es), seeded and chopped
1/2 tsp saffron, threads, lightly crushed
1/4 tsp dried thyme
1 cup(s) reduced-sodium chicken broth
1/2 cup(s) frozen green peas
10 medium raw mussels, in shell, scrubbed and debearded
1/4 pound(s) shrimp, large, peeled and deveined
6 oz kielbasa, turkey, cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices
1 cup(s) instant long-grain white rice
Instructions

Heat the oil in a paella pan or large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the kielbasa, onion, garlic, bell pepper, tomato, saffron, and thyme; cook, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften. Add the broth, rice, and peas; bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer, covered, about 10 minutes.

Add the mussels and shrimp to the skillet and cover. Increase the heat to medium and cook until the mussels open, the shrimp are opaque in the center, and the rice is cooked, 8–10 minutes longer. Discard any mussels that do not open. Serve the paella at once. Yields about 2 cups per serving.

Chicken, peppers, onions & potatos

3-4 chicken cutlet, cubed
1 red pepper
1 red onion
4 potatoes cubed (partially cook in the microwave)
1 package of either Hidden Valley Ranch (powder)
or 1 package Good Seasons Italian Salad dressing.

Throw everything in a bowl, drizzle with olive oil.
Spray a baking dish with non-stick cooking spray

Cook at 350 until chicken is cooked all the way through

You can also do this with sausage -chunked - you don't need the olive oil and I wouldn't partially cook the potatos either, b/c the sausage takes a little longer to cook.
