Artichoke Chicken Skillet
One of the most popular appetizer recipes on the internet is spinach artichoke dip. And one of the most searched dinner ingredients is chicken. When you combine the two you get a really incredibly tasting dinner, and our version is not only full of nutritious ingredients, but it is a lot lighter than most other artichoke chicken recipes.
Most of you reading this probably have young children and dinner needs to be something that is easy, and quick to put together. We have found that skillet dinners are one of our fastest and easiest dinner recipes because you only use one pan and it cooks fast! This artichoke chicken skillet is no exception. From start to finish, you can have this dinner on the table in 30 minutes with very minimal clean up! You can also make it earlier in the day, and put it back on the stove to warm up right before dinner. We like to serve this artichoke chicken over pasta and it is fun to switch up the types. When we created this recipe we used Orzo pasta which for kids probably seems like a cross between pasta and rice. The best of both worlds!
Skillet Dinners
A skillet (or frying pan, or frypan) is a flat-bottomed pan used for frying, searing, and browning foods. You can also simmer sauces and cook things a lot faster than a pot because it is much more shallow and distributes the heat more evenly.
The best thing about a skillet dinner, is that the entire recipe cooks in the skillet. From the chicken to the sauce, you don’t end up washing 5 pots and pans when it is all said and done. We love making skillet dinners on busy weeknights because they are easy to prep, easy to clean, and you can serve the meal directly from the skillet it was cooked in.
