Healthy One Pan Recipes
Preparing healthy one pan recipes with fresh ingredients couldn’t be easier, and this is where you will find the best recipes for them!
Cooking everything together in one pot or pan on the stovetop will save you so much time, and cleanup is a snap!
This is your go-to source for quick, easy and healthy one pot pasta recipes, like chicken caprese pasta, and my favorite 30-minute recipe for chicken and chorizo paella.
You’ll appreciate the easy prep and cleanup of one pan meals when you make chicken pot pie with biscuit topping. Everything comes together in one skillet on the stove top! It’s gluten free and completely healthy and delicious!
Sheet Pan Meals
I even have healthy one pan recipes for the oven – they’re called sheet pan meals. This type of oven baked recipe is a fantastic, time-saving way to cook every component of your meal at one time.
How to Make a Sheet Pan Meal
Place protein on one side of the sheet pan, a grain or starch next to it, and some veggies on the other side. Then place it in the oven and it all bakes together to create a wholesome and delicious dinner!
One of my favorite sheet pan dinners that’s also very popular here on Healthy Delicious is sheet pan chicken with gnocchi and broccoli rabe.
You can find all of my healthy one pot/pan recipes below!

Seafood Chowder in Bread Bowls
Soup weather is officially here and I couldn’t be happier! There’s not much that’ better than warm soup eaten out of a bread bowl, is there?
This seafood chowder was inspired by one that I had a few week ago at The Original Soup Man; I love how thick and rich it was and couldn’t get enough of the sweet bay scallops. I drank every last drop and left with plans to recreate it at home ASAP!
Apple Butter Barbecue Pulled Chicken Sliders
These tasty sliders are so much fun – perfect for game day, backyard parties, or just as something a little different for dinner. They have a great balance of sweet, spicy, and tangy flavors and are easy to make on a weeknight with ingredients from your pantry.
Deep Dish Pizza with Brussels Sprouts & Bacon
I’ve been waiting for months to make this pizza.
There’s a restaurant around the corner from our house that serves a pizza topped with brussels sprouts, pancetta, and brie. I excitedly gave it a try over the summer but was pretty disappointed. It just wasn’t right – the flavors were too flowery, the crust was too delicate, and the brussels sprouts were too small. Plus, who eats brussels sprouts in August anyway?
I promised myself that as soon as the weather was a little more appropriate, I’d make my own version of the pizza at home. It was hard to wait, but I didn’t want to start eating all of my favorite all foods too early because I was afraid that I’d get burned out on them before the cool weather even started to set in. Finally, I decided that it was sufficiently Fall enough. This version is everything that I had hoped the restaurant’s would be: the dough is thick, chewy and charred; the meat is smokey; and the brussels sprouts are slightly caramelized and abundant.
Smoked Salmon and Potato Frittata
Lately, I’ve been using up a lot of my culinary creativity on freelance projects. One of my favorites are these potato and smoked salmon pancakes with creamy dill sauce that I created for Eat Better America last month. I ate them every day for a week and still wasn’t tired of them. They were crispy on the outside, creamy on the inside, and the smoked salmon went perfectly with potato.
When I found myself with extra egg whites after making a batch of grapefruit curd the other day, I decided to make a frittata using the same flavors as those pancakes. While it was a little less elegant than the potato pancakes, it was just as luxurious. Plus, it was quick and easy – a combination that can’t be beat!
Stovetop Mac & Cheese with Stewed Tomato
Last month, The Laughing Cow asked me if I would be interested in trying a lower-calorie version of a comfort food, featuring their cheese. I’ve kept Laughing Cow in my refrigerator ever since being introduced to it by my high school French teacher (back when it was called “la vache qui rit”) but I’ve never tried cooking with it so, intrigued, I agreed. They sent me the recipe and ingredients to make their creamy stovetop macaroni and cheese, and it couldn’t have been more perfect.
It’s no secret that I have a soft spot for macaroni and cheese, especially when it has a gourmet twist.
New England Clam Chowder
Like a lot of people, I re-committed myself* to eating healthier and losing a few pounds in the New Year. Unlike a lot of people, I won’t attempt to live off of cold salads and clear broths. It’s winter, people! I want comfort food – and lots of it.
This milky chowder filled with meaty bites of bacon and the subtle spice of Old Bay and peppery parsnips is what I consider the ultimate winter meal. The combination of smoke and cream reminds me of curling up in front of a fireplace while fat snowflakes fall outside. Close your eyes when you eat it and you can almost hear the bells of a horse-drawn carriage being pulled down the road.
Creamy Sweet Potato and Chipotle Soup
It’s getting to be the time of year when I plan to make soup at least once a week. In addition to being a quick weeknight meal, soup is an easy go-to for weekday lunches – something I’m especially grateful for when I’m trying to avoid holiday related weight gain.
I stumbled on this recipe for sweet potato soup on the Food + Wine website one afternoon and made it for dinner that night. I love potato soup, but it had never occurred to me to use sweet potatoes before! I skipped the fried cinnamon-sugar tortillas in the original recipe and paired the soup with cheese quesadillas for a warmly satisfying meal.
