You could create a four-sided N-Gon or make cube and then adjust the Y dimension so that it is very thin.

I would definitely not do that... Even if the cube is very thin, the plane will not be a plane, but a cube, you will have 2 layers of faces instead of 1...
The fastest way (what I usually do) is to create a cube, convert it to mesh and delete half of the points. You can also make a 4-sided polygon and fill it as JonnyMac suggested, or you can download the plane primitive plugin (http://www.anim8or.com/smf/index.php?topic=131.0), or you can draw the plane point by point (http://www.anim8or.com/manual/4_object_editor.html#adding_points_and_edges) or you can extrude a line... And I bet somebody will throw in 50 more ideas :) (kinda challenge...)

A plane is a flat face, just as it is in math, but in 3d the planes are often constricted whereas in a mathematical sense they stretch infinitely.
