One Pan Chicken & Vegetables

Who doesn’t just love one pan recipes? I’ve never met a person that cooks and cleans that doesn’t love them. They make dinner clean up a sinch and they can really turn out the best tasting dishes  most of the time. This one pan chicken and vegetables recipe is so good and tastes as good as it does BECAUSE you cook it in the one pan. You start by cooking the chicken in the pan and then take them out and set them aside. If you look in the bottom of the pan you will see little stuck on pieces of flavor at the bottom of the pan. That’s what gives these vegetables the best flavor ever. I couldn’t stop sneaking a bite here and there while I was setting up the photo. I think I’ve found my new favorite go to chicken dish!

There are some things to keep in mind with this one pan chicken recipe. First, not all chicken breasts are the same size. When I buy frozen chicken from Costco they are the biggest and thickest breasts ever. When I buy a bag of frozen chicken in the grocery store they’re fairly small. When I made this dish I bought my chicken from the butcher at the grocery store and they were pretty thick so two chicken breasts weighed about a little over 2 pounds. I sliced them in half length wise, creating 4 thinner breasts. Make sure that if you do this you don’t cut them down the middle, like a chicken strip, you want them to be the same shape but thinner. Regardless, when you cook the chicken you’ll just adjust the cooking time to accommodate for the size breast that you use. The chicken should be cooked through with no pink in the center.

I also used a bit of Chardonnay. If you’d rather not use wine you could use chicken broth but the alcohol is cooked out and it really does add a depth to the flavor. The chicken stock would give you a good flavor too if you need and alternate. I hope you give this one pan chicken & vegetables a try soon, it really was amazing!
