Have you ever been in a situation where you know guests are coming the next night for a casual meal, and you don’t know what to make? With fall and soup season here, I have been resorting to one-pot meals, such as today’s Rotisserie Chicken Recipe with Noodles.Easy, peasy!
I say forget about worrying about the salads, side dishes, and main dishes, especially for week-night entertaining.
Dump your favorite ingredients into ONE POT and you’re golden! (Don’t you just love the vibrance of fresh vegetables, especially the darker root veggies?)
Tips for making a ONE-POT meal:
1. Invite 6-16 people for dinner. Invite people that you know love homemade and casual meals.
2. Delegate by asking your friends to bring crunchy bread and drinks! Beer and wine are great to serve, but water is also an excellent choice, and so healthy for a casual meal.
3. If you’re short of soup bowls, ask guests to bring their own, and you’ll provide the silverware!
4. If a small group, set the table and make the ONE POT the centerpiece for the table. If a larger group, gather the bowls and utensils by the stove and let guests serve themselves. Place your favorite dish towel on the table in place of a trivet, and don’t forget the ladle!
It’s really that easy. I’ve made one-pot meals such as soups, chills, and even dumplings. People love simple cooking and the essence of homemade. It’s lovely, happy, warm, cozy, and it makes people around your table feel nurtured and good.
Next time you’re at loss for what to make your guests, I hope you try my recipe today. Rotisserie Chicken Noodle Soup.
Yum!
What’s your go-to one-pot meal that you like to serve guests?

How many rotisserie chickens does it take to make 6-8 cups? I get my chickens from Costco, do you?

Would this work by just putting it all in the crockpot?

Looks tasty, I think I’d have to give this recipe an A! Trying it out tomorrow before I leave for work–so that it’s done for dinner!
Sandy Coughlin —
Yay! I hope your family enjoyed it, Mary!

That sounds so yummy, Sandy! And great advice for entertaining! I’ve always wanted to have a “chili party.” Have I? No. This year!
Sandy Coughlin —
Bridgie, we’d come to your “chili party.” :)

I’ve a country Italian stew recipe that feeds a crowd (bonus – it’s a crock pot recipe). It’s a bit rustic and goes really well with crunchy bread.
Chili is a classic. The Wendy’s knock off chili recipe I use feeds a dozen, and involves browning two pounds of ground beef and opening cans. The best part is making it the night before to let the flavors intensify. Ask guests to bring the add-ons if they like – grated cheese, chopped onion, noodles and cornbread.
Sandy Coughlin —
That sounds fantastic, Diane!
