This chicken skillet dish is super yum and makes a great weeknight dinner, takes only 30 minutes to make. Also great for meal prep and leftovers. Best part it is truly a one pot meal. I do so many dishes that I appreciate a one pot meal when I find one!
Besides my 6 year old not liking the gnocchi, this was a family favorite that will be made again soon. Logan will just be served that chicken. It is super flavorful with the garlic, paprika and Italian seasoning.
I always love hearing from you. Let me know if you try this and how you liked it! Follow me for more recipes.
