Skillet Chicken with Vegetables
TENDER CHICKEN
Skillet Chicken and vegetables is an easy one pot recipe to make for dinner tonight. You can use a variety of different vegetables for this dish though I prefer just the leeks, artichoke hearts, tomatoes and mushrooms for this recipe.
For those of you who are not familiar with leeks here’s a little background. Leeks are treasured in Europe and are mainly used in soups. They are a member of the onion family except that the flavor is much more subtle and sweet than a regular onion. Before using the leek make sure they are properly cleaned. Just slice them lengthwise and rinse out all the sand in between the leaves.
When making Skillet Chicken always brown the chicken pieces first so all the juice remains inside and the chicken is always moist and tender. You can also use sun-dried or fresh tomatoes for this recipe but I prefer the canned tomatoes for this because of the added juice.
