Cooking dinner at the end of the day—you know, when you're finally home from work—is a major pain in the butt. You're tired and you're hungry and all you want to do is curl up on the couch, grab the remote, watch a good movie, and knock back a couple glasses of wine. Yet somehow you're supposed to muster the strength to find a recipe, cook it, eat it, and then clean up the whole mess. That's pretty much your whole night! And when so many recipes call for multiple pots and pans, that clean up can often be the most annoying and lengthy part of the whole situation.

But what if we told you that all that clean up didn't have to be so. That, in fact, you really only need one pot to make a satisfying dinner? It's true—these 10 high-protein recipes prove that whipping up a tasty, nourishing meal can be as simple as setting a single pan on the stove and adding your ingredients. Bonus: These dishes all come together pretty quickly, so you don't have to spend a lot of time cooking them either. Now get back to your movie.
