The Many Benefits of One-Pot Cooking

My least favorite part of cooking isn’t actually cooking at all. It’s the part that comes before that: figuring out what to make. Nothing’s worse than coming home from a long day of work and realizing you haven’t even thought about dinner. In these moments, it’s all too tempting to reach for a takeout menu. That’s where one-pot meals come in handy! These simple recipes give you a complete, healthy meal with very little planning (and even fewer dishes).

In addition to being quick and easy to make, I absolutely love the flavors in this dish! Savory balsamic glazed chicken is paired with tender roasted potatoes, all cooking together in a single pan. You’ll get plenty of protein in a delicious, filling, low-calorie dinner. It’s definitely a worthy weeknight go-to recipe!

Fire Up the Skillet

The key to this recipe is using an oven-safe skillet. This handy kitchen staple allows you to take the meal from the stovetop to the oven, which is exactly what you’ll be doing here.

This recipe starts with a sweet and savory marinade. After marinating the chicken breasts in balsamic vinegar, honey, mustard, and cayenne pepper, you’ll sear them in a hot skillet with a touch of olive oil. Toss in the potatoes and rosemary and drizzle the whole thing with the remaining vinegar. Then, remove the skillet from the heat and put it into a preheated oven, where the whole meal will roast to perfection for another twenty minutes.

The finished product? Delicious, savory balsamic chicken and tender, rosemary-scented roasted potatoes, all created in a single pan.
