Creamy Chicken Dinners, Soups & Easy Casseroles

Hundreds of recipes by Rachel Hayes – creamy chicken dinners, soups, pasta and casseroles for weeknights.

Profile:

Rachel Hayes cooks the kind of dinners that fill a table without filling the whole evening. Chicken is the center of her work: creamy chicken and wild rice soup, garlic butter chicken pasta, baked ricotta chicken and BBQ chicken sliders for a crowd. Alongside them come soups, sloppy joes, lasagna and baked spaghetti, plus the occasional party dip, cobbler or pound cake when the meal needs a finish.

Most of her recipes sit in the Chicken and Soups & Stews categories, with a good share of casseroles and international-style dinners in between. What ties them together is practicality: servings and timing are stated up front, steps follow the order you actually cook in, and ingredients come from an ordinary grocery run. Many dishes are built so the slow cooker does the long work while you handle the rest of the day.

If you are planning a week of dinners, or need one dependable recipe for a potluck or a busy Tuesday, browse Rachel's recipes below and start with whatever is already in your fridge.
