One-pot Marry Me Chicken Orzo ‍

First up, we have this tasty “Marry Me Chicken Orzo” recipe. Juicy and tender chicken nestled in a creamy sun-dried tomato sauce is finished with showers of Parmesan. It’s the viral chicken dish that’s so good; it has apparently made many people pop the question after eating it! Our spin on it transforms it into an easy one-pan dinner with pasta and baby spinach. Even if you’re not looking for a proposal, this dish is brimming with deliciousness, and we think you’ll fall head over heels in love with it. At a estimated cost per serving from Amazon Fresh of just £2.30 you’ll be making this recipe over and over again.

Plate Up pointers when making this recipe:

Use the oil from the sun-dried tomatoes to maximise on flavour and save on using other oil you may have
Switch out the orzo for spaghetti or your preferred pasta that you may already have in your cupboard, and you will still achieve the same delicious taste
For a speedier version, you could use leftover roast chicken in this recipe too

Ham, Cheddar and Tomato Croissant Bake

This recipe will be your go-to when you have family and friends over, and with an estimated cost per serving of just £1.90 from Amazon Fresh it's a winner all round. Our ham, cheddar, and tomato croissant bake is so tasty; it works for brunch, lunch, or dinner, whatever time of the day you fancy whipping up this delight. Think of this as similar to bread and butter pudding but with a savoury indulgent twist. Buttery croissants baked in an egg custard, layered with mature cheddar and 14-month-aged Parma ham. Plum tomatoes add pops of sweetness. This is also a great dish to make ahead; simply prep it all and leave it to soak overnight, then pop it in the oven when you are ready. Using basic Amazon Fresh ingredients, you will have a moreish dish on the table in no time.

Plate Up pointers when making this recipe:

We are using mature cheddar here, but you can experiment with your preferred cheese; small slices of creamy brie would work well!
Add a little sizzle—feeling spicy? Add a sprinkle of chilli flakes
You can use any type of ham for this dish, including any leftover ham from your Sunday dinner

Sausage and Bean Hotpot

This sausage and bean hotpot is the ultimate comfort food recipe with an estimated cost per serving of £1.84 with Amazon Fresh. It’s one you can turn to when you want something quick and easy that you can throw into one pot, making the most of your store cupboard staples. Sizzled sausages wrapped in a rich tomato sauce with red kidney beans, a hint of paprika, and a dash of red wine vinegar, all topped with Amazon Fresh baby potatoes with herb butter This is a nourishing and satisfying easy family dinner with maximum flavour and minimal washing up.

Plate Up pointers when making this recipe:

Switch it up: swap the red kidney beans for your preferred beans or whatever you have in the cupboard already. Tinned butter beans, cannellini beans, lentils, and chickpeas would work well here.
Adding a dash of vinegar is a great way to add a kick to the sauce, which is balanced out by the creamy beans. You could use cider vinegar or white wine vinegar instead of red wine vinegar.
A pinch of brown sugar is a great way to add sweetness to tinned tomatoes. You could also use honey or maple syrup, depending on your personal preference.

Roasted Butternut Squash & Kale Crumble

Yes, you can have crumble for dinner! In this comforting savoury crumble traybake, fruit is swapped for a butternut squash, chickpea, and kale filling. Topped with a cheddar crumble topping brimming with vegetables, this is a satisfying meal perfect for a cosy night in. Using a mix of fresh and store cupboard ingredients, it’s a great value meal for the whole family with an estimated cost per serving of £1.27 with Amazon Fresh.

Plate Up pointers when making this recipe:

You can also add a couple of tablespoons of the liquid from the tin of chickpeas to the tray for extra flavour and texture. This liquid, known as aquafaba, is a great way to add texture to a sauce.
Don’t throw away the seeds from the butternut squash; give them a quick rinse, then roast in the oven drizzled with a little oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. Roast until golden. These are delicious as a snack or as a salad or soup topping.
Tweak the flavours to suit your taste; experiment with different herbs and spices; we also love dried oregano.
