This rich and creamy meal is incredibly healthy, easy to customize, and comes together in a flash. Don’t skip Gathering Dreams’ recommendation to include a tablespoon of freshly grated ginger; it adds a zingy sweetness that can’t be replicated by dried ginger powder.

We love an easy cleanup, especially around Thanksgiving! This one-skillet dinner takes only 30 minutes to make and produces golden-brown chicken with a silky mushroom sauce. Martha Stewart brings this restaurant-worthy dish to a new level with fresh thyme and white wine, which cuts beautifully through the heaviness that comes with certain mushroom sauces—it’ll be an impressive Thanksgiving Eve meal!
