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!

    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!

    Under 20 minutes? I’m sold. Even better that it’s made in a skillet, which I love. This sounds like such a wonderful, healthy dinner that my whole family is going to love!

    So, first — that scan and go app at Sam’s Club sounds phenomenal! I WANT THAT! Second, I want this skillet dinner… So simple and quick to prepare — and I have all the ingredients… even have the Country Crock in the fridge — I’m ready!

    This skillet looks delicious. I love how easy, flavourful, fast, and colourful it is! So great for those busy nights.

    And oh man, I love that app idea!! There’s not Sam’s club in my area so I shop at Costco but I think those are similar concepts. I wish Costco had an app like that. It’s just amazing!

    I’m totally intrigued by the “scan and go” thing at Walmart and Sam’s now- I haven’t tried it yet! (I’m not sure ours are doing it yet)… but I’ll give it a shot when we get it! This dinner looks delicious and easy- I bet shopping for it was even faster now!

    One skillet meals are so great for busy weeknights, or even on the weekend when you don’t want to spend a lot of time in the kitchen. This looks like a crowd pleaser. Leftovers would be great too. Might as well make lots to enjoy again down the road (or even tuck away in the freezer).
