What could be better than cheesy chicken with a side of carrots for dinner? A recipe that only takes one pan to make, of course! Luckily, this chicken recipe checks off both boxes. You need only one 15x10-inch baking pan to bake both the cheesy artichoke chicken and the tender baby carrots seasoned with a pinch of rosemary.

Salmon is already one of our go-to dishes for a quick weeknight dinner, but this healthy one-pan recipe just moved to the top of the list. Not only does it take just one sheet pan (which seriously minimizes cleanup), but it also makes a tasty roasted broccoli and tomato side dish in the same pan as the salmon. Top your fillet with a zesty mix of lemon juice, honey, and fresh herbs for an unbeatable one-dish meal.

Za'atar is a Middle Eastern spice blend featuring sumac, thyme, oregano, and sesame seeds. Those flavors help flavor the braised chicken perfectly in this healthy one-pot meal. We added French green lentils, which have a firm texture that holds up to longer cook times and therefore won't turn mushy in your pot.

This homemade veggie and sausage pizza is just as fast as takeout (if not faster). When you make pizza at home, you can add as many or as few toppings as you want, but we recommend piling mushrooms, peppers, asparagus, and chicken sausage on each slice. Since this healthy dinner recipe needs only a sheet pan, it's also just as easy to clean up afterward as any delivered pizza.
