Loaded Skillet Chicken Dinner Recipes

Steps:

• Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Cook bacon slices, turning occasionally, until crispy, about 10 minutes. Place on a plate to cool. Crumble with your fingers and set aside.
• Cook chicken breasts in the bacon grease over medium heat until browned on one side, about 5 minutes. Flip over and cook until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 5 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Season with salt and pepper.
• Arrange Cheddar cheese on top of each breast and let melt.
• Arrange baby spinach on a serving plate. Place the chicken on top. Top with sour cream, crumbled bacon, and chives.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
• Place a large cast iron skillet over medium-high and allow to preheat, 5 minutes. Season chicken thighs generously with salt and pepper.
• Add 2 tablespoons olive oil to skillet, swirl to coat, and add chicken thighs. Cook, skin side down, until crispy and lightly golden, about 4-5 minutes. Turn, and sauté on underside for an additional 3 minutes. Remove to a plate.
• Drizzle in 1 tablespoon olive oil and place Brussels sprouts cut-side down on one side of the skillet and fill the other side with sweet potatoes. Add the onion wedges and garlic halves throughout the pan, drizzle with remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, and season all over with salt and pepper. Place chicken thighs skin side up on top of vegetables and transfer to oven. Roast, shaking pan once halfway through to redistribute vegetables, until vegetables and cooked through and turning deeply golden in spots.
• Remove skillet from oven and increase temperature to 500 degrees F. Distribute butter over chicken and vegetables, add chicken stock and lemon juice, and return to oven. Continue roasting until chicken skin is deeply golden and pan sauces are bubbling and reduced, about 5-7 minutes. Garnish with chopped herbs and serve warm from the skillet, spooning pan sauce over each portion.

Steps:

• In 12-inch nonstick skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of the oil over medium heat. Add potatoes; cover and cook 12 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thoroughly heated (potatoes will not brown). Transfer to bowl; keep warm.
• In same skillet, heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil. Add chicken; cook 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until no longer pink. Stir in potatoes and tomatoes; cook 2 to 3 minutes longer or until thoroughly heated. Sprinkle evenly with bacon pieces, 3 tablespoon of the onions and the cheese. Reduce heat to low; cover and cook 5 to 6 minutes longer or until cheese is melted.
• Meanwhile, in small bowl, stir sour cream and taco seasoning mix until well blended. Serve skillet dinner with sour cream mixture and remaining 1 tablespoon onions.

Steps:

• In 10-inch nonstick skillet, stir sauce mix, water, milk and butter with whisk until blended. Stir in potatoes and basil.
• Heat to boiling, stirring occasionally; reduce heat. Cover and simmer 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in chicken and vegetables. Cover and simmer 10 to 15 minutes longer or until potatoes are tender.
