This right here, you guys.
Chicken. Potatoes. And the non-Italian girl’s interpretation of some classic Italian flavors: tomatoes, spinach, and Parmesan cheese.
I am in no way presenting this as an authentic interpretation of Tuscan or Italian cuisine (we all know you are a passionate bunch ? ), but as my own spin on some of my favorite flavors from some of my favorite Italian dishes. Are we good??
So it’s Baby Month. (Whaaaaaaat?!?) Which means that, yes, I am writing this post in advance because I would hate to leave you guys without this deliciousness as I figure out how to do the whole newborn thing again. Rest assured, there will be loads more deliciousness coming your way in the next month or two (and maybe a baby photo or two!).
With this month’s bag of Little Potatoes, I really wanted to bring you an easy dinner recipe that is also loaded with flavor and crowd-pleasing. I know that we are in the midst of holiday chaos and maybe you are too busy brining turkeys and baking cookies to worry about making dinner during the week, but I think it’s these easy, one pot meals that really save our sanity (or mine anyway!).
I’m going to go ahead and give you permission to bring this to any holiday potluck as well, and I promise you won’t get any complaints — a nice sprinkling of good quality Parmesan cheese takes care of any doubters ?
Tips and Tricks for Making this One Pan Tuscan Chicken and Potato Skillet:
- If you want to speed up the cooking time, simply cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces and slice the potatoes instead of halving. If you do this, leave the chicken in the pan after browning while you add in the rest of the ingredients.
- You’ll want to make this recipe in a very large skillet with a fitting lid like this one.
- Feel free to mix up the herbs and vegetables and add in other things your family loves — the recipe is meant as a guide ?
- I do recommend heavy cream for this recipe, as a lighter cream may separate after simmering for an extended period of time.
