The thoughtful and hearty dish requires just six simple ingredients for the meal — and this entrée spends most of its time cooking in the oven.

"I consider this the ultimate low-effort main dish for Christmas dinner," he said.

The chef and host of the popular Food Network show "Restaurant: Impossible" said to not overthink the main entrée at any upcoming gathering, as the typical eye-catcher tends to be the extensive side offerings.
