One-Skillet Rosemary Chicken Thighs, Potatoes, Artichokes
Sometimes it’s not the cooking that requires so much work, but the dishes needing washing up afterward. Maybe that mention made you even nod your head and smile in agreement, after all, who really loves to do dishes? Not me.
Today’s One-Skillet Rosemary Chicken Thighs, Potatoes, Artichokes is quick and easy, along with offering the break on little clean-up afterwards. Well, you’ll want to wipe off the bread board after slicing up a nice crusty baguette for soaking up all of the delicious pan juices accumulated underneath a tight fitting lid in the baking process. You could even toss in some tiny bright green peas near the end of cooking, just for some extra color, or as an added vegetable still served in the one pot. All this in about an hour. The flavor is amazing, and so is clean-up time.
