  • Easy Burrito Casserole

    "The rice will take approximately 20 minutes to cook; however, you’ll save a bit of time (and dirty dishes!) by cooking the chicken right on top of the rice at the same time. The chicken helps flavor the rice." —Wanda Abraham, Simply Recipes Visual Editor

  • Sad Cake

    Simply Recipes / Mark Beahm

    "Sad cake in its truest form is a 3-ingredient recipe, but it welcomes tinkering like nuts, chocolate chips and coconut." —Sara Bir, Simply Recipes Editor

  • Chicken Scarpariello

    Simply Recipes / Coco Morante

    "Scarpariello can be as spicy as you like—add jalapeños along with the bell peppers for more heat, or include a pinch of red pepper flakes along with the Italian herbs." —Coco Morante, Simply Recipes Contributor

  • Creamy Chicken Florentine

    Simply Recipes / Sally Vargas

    "Chances are you’ll find chicken cutlets at your local grocery, often in packs of four. If you don’t see any in the meat aisle, buy boneless skinless chicken breasts. You can cut them into cutlets." —Laurel Randolph, Simply Recipes Editor

  • Magic Cake (Gâteau Magique)

    Simply Recipes / Mark Beahm

    "The order of operations is important for achieving the distinct layers in this cake. If any yolk gets into the egg whites, they won't whip properly. I like to whip the egg whites first so I don't have to wash the beaters in between steps." —Mark Beahm, Simply Recipes Contributor

  • Skillet Chicken Puttanesca

    Skillet Chicken Puttanesca

    "You can double the recipe easily if you have a larger skillet. Serve it right from the pan or arranged on a platter. Don't forget to put some crusty bread on the table for swiping up the last of the sauce." —Sheryl Julian, Simply Recipes Contributor

  • Spaghetti all'Assassina (Assassin's Spaghetti)

    Bowlful of assassin's spaghetti at a table setting with more in a bowl, a glass of water, utensils, and light blue kitchen towel

    Simply Recipes / Mihaela Kozaric Sebrek

    "The amount of red pepper flakes in this recipe makes a spicy but not super spicy dish. If you like heat, up it to one teaspoon and consider garnishing with more. You can also use fresh, thinly sliced red chiles instead." —Laurel

  • Quick and Easy Egg Salad Sandwich

    Simply Recipes / Mihaela Kozaric Sebrek

    "The best way to avoid a soggy egg salad sandwich? Make your sandwich by laying a piece of lettuce over the toast, adding the egg salad, layering another piece of lettuce, and topping with the bread." —Elise Bauer, Simply Recipes Founder

    Simply Recipes / Ciara Kehoe

    "This recipe yields about 1 cup of dressing—enough for dinner, plus extra to keep in the refrigerator for five to seven days." —Jennifer Zyman, Simply Recipes Contributor

  • Classic Chicken Salad

    Elise Bauer

    "You can easily use any cooked chicken for this chicken salad—rotisserie chicken, grilled chicken, or roasted chicken. My parents will often use leftovers from their favorite baked chicken, and even include some of the crispy skin in the salad." —Elise
