Here is a great-tasting and healthy chicken and vegetables meal, cooked and served in one dish. We had this tonight. Like many great recipes, I made it up as I went along. It was delicious and filling. Pay attention to the thick cuts and other preparation details; it’s worth it for the result. And while there is some preparation work here, the “one-dish cooking and serving” part helps a lot.
You can use the frozen chicken you bought in bulk at your local BJ’s or Costco. No defrosting; just lay them in.
