One-Pot Holiday Recipes For Mains, Sides, & Soups
No one should have to do dishes on Christmas.
Want to whip up a side of macaroni and cheese to serve with dinner, but, you know, without a ton of cleanup afterward? This one-pot mac and cheese recipe from Gimme Some Oven has got. You. Covered.
Sometimes a hearty winter soup is all that will satisfy. A Cozy Kitchen’s ribollita with cheesy baguettes requires just one medium pot and about half an hour’s time.
So you need bread to serve with soup, or a fun appetizer to tide everyone over until the ham’s ready. This cheesy garlic pull-apart bread only dirties on skillet, but will feed a whole family of people.
Lasagna typically takes at least two pans: one for creating your sauce, and a separate baking dish. But not this one-skillet lasagna recipe from Averie Cooks. Your family will request this again and again all winter long.
Is there anyone who doesn’t look forward to French onion soup on a chilly day? Damn Delicious’s recipe is exactly that, and all comes together in the same pot (meaning you can enjoy your soup coma without worrying about the dishes).
Mashed sweet potatoes are a holiday staple, and the fact that you can do all your prep in one pot (and serve them right from it if you like) makes them the ideal one-pot side dish. Bonus points: they’re creamy, yet dairy-free.
Crispy chicken piccata that only requires one pan? It’s the perfect recipe for the days leading up to or after your big holiday meal when you want something delicious, easy, and mostly mess-free.
Need something flavorful to break up the monotony of yet another Christmas ham dinner? This one-pot arroz con pollo recipe from A Cozy Kitchen is a must-try.
And finally, the king of all one-pot holiday recipes: a whole roast chicken over potatoes, courtesy of Foodie Crush. It’s the perfect main dish for your family meal, and the thing everyone will be talking wanting most on the menu next year.
