There are over 110,000 recipes on Allrecipes.com, but these 10 were saved by Allrecipes users more than any others in 2023.

Bourbon Chicken

Bourbon Chicken has its roots in New Orleans but belongs on your table no matter where you live. It's an easy recipe, gets dinner on the table fast, and has incredible depth of flavor from the brown sugar, bourbon, ginger, garlic, and soy sauce glaze. It's no wonder it was our all-around most saved recipe in 2023.

Garlic. Butter. Pasta. Shrimp. For a crowd (it serves 8!). What more could you want?Our super popular recipe for Shrimp Scampi Bake adds a little something special that's not in most versions but amps up the flavor in a major way—Dijon mustard. Plus, it's baked in the oven rather than sautéed on the stovetop, making it way easier than the standard Scampi. Eat it as is or serve over pasta.

Perfect Chicken

What makes a "perfect" chicken dish? The secret is layering flavors and using the right cut of chicken. The sauce of this Perfect Chicken layers onion, garlic, wine, mushrooms, capers, heavy cream, butter, and plenty of herbs. That sauce goes on top of juicy chicken thighs that are browned on the stovetop and finished in the oven. Perfection!

These Italian Baked Meatballs are tender and flavorful. Best of all, you can bake them all in the oven instead of frying a few at a time on the stovetop. Freeze any leftovers for spaghetti and meatballs or meatball sandwiches and take the stress out of future busy weeknights.

Marry Me Chicken

The internet claims that once you make this dish for someone, it's so good they'll propose marriage. And while that claim may be exaggerated, we can confirm it is *that* good. This chicken with a Parmesan, bacon, and sun-dried tomato cream sauce will quickly become part of your recipe rotation, as it did for so many Allrecipes users this year. And, really, how many marriage proposals can one person handle?

Spaghetti Carbonara

This budget-friendly pasta dish calls for bacon, but pancetta works equally as well, according to some reviewers. After frying the bacon, sauté onion and garlic in the rendered fat as the base of the wine sauce. Eggs and Parmesan cheese add richness to this Italian classic. It's simple to make but fancy enough for company.

Over 20,000 of you have rated it 5 stars! We will always be grateful to John Chandler, who introduced us all to this recipe over 20 years ago.

Million Dollar Chicken Casserole

Rich, creamy, and incredibly savory, Million Dollar Chicken Casserole tastes like a million bucks, thanks in part to the Creole seasoning that adds a little somethin' somethin' similar casseroles don't have. Many Allrecipes members agree, with one reviewer writing, "The Creole seasoning really gives it a zing that this kind of dish needs."

Taco Bake Casserole

Making dinner on Taco Tuesday is usually pretty easy, but this casserole makes it even easier. It has all the taco fixings—ground beef, taco seasoning, refried beans, green chiles, salsa, cheese, and even crisp taco shells—in casserole form. No need for everyone to build their own taco and you to wash all those little bowls after—just scoop and serve.

Baked Chicken Schnitzel

View Recipe

Baked Chicken Schnitzel is simply breaded chicken, done German style, mostly. It's usually pan-fried, but that can leave a splattery mess on your stovetop. This recipe bakes the schnitzel in the oven until it's crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. And, unlike the stovetop version where you have to fry the chicken in batches, you can bake all the thin chicken breasts at once.
