3 Easy, One-Pot Meals That Are Packed With Protein

This is the prefect recipe for those nights when you have something to do at home and can't sit down to dinner right away. By using a pre-made pie crust and your slow cooker, this savory and filling meal comes together with practically no work. Just line your slow cooker with pie crust, throw the rest of the ingredients inside, and let it cook while you do a load of laundry — it won't be long before you're enjoying a homemade dinner.

Paella is a Spanish seafood and rice dish that's so delicious, you won't believe you can make it at home in your Dutch oven. This version is a much easier alternative to the classic paella-making technique (no orange and pine wood-burning fire needed) and produces a wonderful dish for a hearty family meal.

This is the easiest weeknight dinner ever. Combine all your ingredients in a slow cooker in the morning, and then allow them to cook on low for eight hours. Then, come home to the aroma of fragrant garlic-and-herb chicken.
