On these busy Spring days (who am I kidding, every season seems busy around here), I appreciate a quick and warm meal. This Italian Skillet chicken can be to your table in 30 minutes and with only one pan. It’s bursting with flavor! The seasonings along with the mushrooms and tomatoes make it seem as this recipe should take way more than 30 minutes. It’s perfect over pasta and served with some of our bucket bread. A complete and delicious meal. I often steer towards this recipe and ones similar on days the guys are rained out in the field. My husband hasn’t had a warm meal in days and often times there is little notice that he will be home for dinner. This Italian Skillet Chicken fits the bill. 🙂 Enjoy!
