Dinner · 30 minLemon Herb Chicken Skillet
Golden chicken, a bright lemon pan sauce, and just one skillet to wash. A splash of cream softens the citrus without making dinner feel heavy.
Chicken, four useful ways
One skillet dinner, a creamy chili, a crunchy lunch, and a shareable dip. Keep chicken night interesting.
Choose boneless thighs for browning in a skillet, or put cooked chicken to work in chili, salad, and dip. Those last three are useful when you have leftovers, but count storage time from the day the chicken was first cooked. Match the recipe to the chicken you have, then choose a simple side.
Make it easier: A thermometer is more dependable than color. Chicken should reach 165°F in the thickest part.
