Great recipes for non-cooks

I have two personally-tested recipes that, despite my lack of skill, turn out great time after time. It's the holidays, and I hate cooking, so I would love more to add to my repertoire  It's great to find a dessert or main dish that is easy, tastes great, and looks impressive.

This one is from a coworker, and I actually spread the Nutella along the crescent roll, but this recipe is otherwise spot-on:

And this white chicken chili is perfect for this time of year:

It is as spicy as you want it to be! I've never made it with jalapenos, but be bold!
