Description

A collection of easy and delicious chicken dinners that can be prepared entirely in one skillet, minimizing cleanup and maximizing flavor.


Ingredients

  • Chicken breasts or thighs (boneless, skinless)
  • Assorted vegetables (e.g., broccoli, bell peppers, onions, zucchini, spinach)
  • Aromatics (e.g., garlic, ginger)
  • Cooking oil (e.g., olive oil, vegetable oil)
  • Seasonings (e.g., salt, pepper, paprika, herbs, spices)
  • Sauce ingredients (e.g., broth, soy sauce, lemon juice, cream, tomato paste)
  • Optional garnishes (e.g., fresh herbs, cheese, nuts)

Instructions

  1. Prepare your chicken by cutting it into bite-sized pieces and seasoning it.
  2. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  3. Add chicken to the skillet and cook until browned and cooked through. Remove chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  4. Add vegetables to the same skillet and stir-fry until tender-crisp.
  5. Add aromatics and cook until fragrant.
  6. Return chicken to the skillet.
  7. Pour in sauce ingredients and bring to a simmer.
  8. Cook until the sauce has thickened and coats the chicken and vegetables.
  9. Season to taste and garnish as desired.
  10. Serve hot directly from the skillet.

Notes

  • Ensure your skillet is large enough to accommodate all ingredients without overcrowding.
  • Adjust cooking times based on the thickness of your chicken and vegetables.
  • Feel free to customize vegetables and seasonings to your preference.
  • For a creamier sauce, stir in a splash of heavy cream or coconut milk at the end.
