Who doesn’t love an entire meal that can be completely made in one pot or pan? Not only does it speed up prep but also makes cleanup easy and effortless. Even better that most of the cooking time is hands-off – simply add all of the ingredients to the pan and then allow time to do all of the work. Then bring it straight to the table for elegant stove to oven to table serving.
At Le Creuset, we’re big fans of the one pot meal. So we decided to dedicate an entire month to sharing our favorite versions of this versatile dinner. From delicious recipes to helpful tips, equipment lists and even a grocery list, here are the one pot or pan meals we’re cooking right now.
Apricot and Olive Roasted Chicken with Chickpeas and Feta
Loosely inspired by the classic chicken Marbella recipe, our version marinates the chicken alongside apricots, tangy capers and olives. Then it’s all roasted alongside briny feta and hearty chickpeas in the enameled cast iron Signature Roaster with white wine and butter to keep the chicken moist and flavorful and also doubles as a delicious pan sauce. While most only think to use their roasting pan around the holidays for show-stopping main dishes, it’s actually a versatile pan year-round. The elegant low-profile design is optimized for oven roasting with plenty of room for air to circulate and excellent heat distribution to create crispy-skinned chicken and perfectly cooked vegetables.

Braised Pork Shoulder Tacos with Charred Pineapple Salsa
Hearty pork shoulder is slowly braised in beer and tangy citrus until it is meltingly tender, while chipotle peppers in adobo add just the right amount of spice. A best-selling fan favorite, the Le Creuset Braiser is the ideal shape and size for this kind of recipe with its wide base and shallow sloped sides. It’s also the perfect pot for easy and beautiful oven to table serving, bring the pork directly to the table and serve alongside the charred pineapple salsa, avocado yogurt sauce and warm tortillas, and allow the family to create their own delicious weeknight tacos.

Roasted Squash, Spinach and Ricotta Lasagna
The Heritage Rectangular Casserole does double duty in this one-dish vegetarian lasagna recipe – first hearty winter squash, garlic and sage leaves are roasted until tender and then they’re layered with creamy ricotta cheese, spinach and melty mozzarella which is all baked to bubbling perfection in the same dish. Ready-to-bake lasagna noodles and prepared Alfredo sauce are a huge time-saver, and the covered baking dish easily transitions from oven to table for beautiful serving – and then to the fridge to store leftovers (if there are any).
