Skillet dinners are one of my go-to meal ideas for busy weeknights. They are easy since all of the ingredients cook in one pan and the flavors have a chance to infuse to create a delicious meal the whole family will love. Plus, fewer pots to clean which is always a nice bonus.

This Easy Chicken Skillet with Vegetables is fast and delicious. You only need 5 ingredients to make it and it cooks in under 20 minutes. Winner! You may also like my Garlic and Herb Skillet Chicken and Potatoes. It's so easy and perfect for busy weeknights!

    I do love a one pot meal - ideal for weekdays and also veggie packed. We love scan and shop here, although I usually do a full grocery shop online. When i do have to go to the store, it's almost rather fun!

    What a great idea for dinner in such a short amount of time! Definitely saving this. I've been so busy the past few weeks, a proper dinner has just not happened some nights. I've resorted to takeout or grazing more than I should. Recipes like this would solve that problem, in a completely delicious way!
