10. Chicken Pot Pie

It's no surprise our viewers loved Rach's Chicken Pot Pie, which redefines the term "crowd-pleaser." In fact, the recipe is so good, it made our list of the "5 Recipes to Make Before You Die." A comfort food classic -- what's not to love?
9. White Meat Sauce

6. Grilled Pinwheel Steaks

This is one of Rachael's favorite recipes on our list, as it combines lots of flavors like parmigiano, lemon, garlic and parsley. The look of the dish alone is enough to make for one of the most exciting dinners you'll have all year.
5. Spinach & Ricotta-Stuffed Chicken with Rosemary Hasselback Potatoes

4. Grant's Chocolate Chip Cookies

This was another recipe that made our "5 Recipes to Make Before You Die." Even Rach, who doesn't love to bake, couldn't stop raving about this recipe, which is about the closest thing you'll ever find to the perfect chocolate chip cookie. Sweet tooth-lovers, this one's for you.
3. Baked Devil's Chicken

2. Daddy Wu's Pan-Fried Chicken

Our kitchen staff cracked the list again, and we couldn't be happier for that. This recipe comes from cook Tina's father, known as "Daddy Wu," whose flavorful twist on fried chicken had us raving for months. In fact, we still can't get enough of it.
1. Carbonara
Rachael Ray Show
This is Rach's husband's favorite recipe, and now, it's yours, too. Rach has made many combinations of this over the years, both on our show and on the Food Network, and it's always a hit, as a family dinner, date-night meal and everything in between. Seriously, there's no better way to top the list than with this classic pasta dish.
