04of 18Smothered Chicken Breasts in Onion GravyView RecipeJacob FoxGravy gets a bad rap because it’s often made with fat drippings or served over fried meat, but it’s not inherently unhealthy. Chef and James Beard Award-winning cookbook author Virginia Willis says, “I love gravy; in my mind there are rivers of it in heaven! Using a minimum amount of oil to make the roux reduces calories. The result is good, country-style cooking—always welcome on my weight-loss plan.”

16of 18Instant Pot Vegetarian White ChiliView RecipeParsnips lend a wonderful sweet and nutty flavor to this healthy white bean chili. Using an Instant Pot (or any other pressure cooker) means this hearty chili can be ready in under an hour, but it still tastes like it’s simmered away for hours. Pureeing some of the chili gives the stew a nice creaminess, but feel free to skip that step to save time. Garnish the chili with cheese and sour cream for a richer meal, or serve it as-is to keep it vegan.
