Confirmed
In Short: Allrecipes and EatingWell provide easy, one-skillet chicken recipes for weeknight dinners.
Allrecipes has introduced a new recipe for a skillet chicken dinner that requires just five ingredients and includes a delicious pan sauce.
Over the past year, Allrecipes community members have saved 10 one-pot chicken dinners more than any other recipes.
One of the popular recipes features chicken thighs cooked with cracked peppercorns and a creamy sauce.
Users have praised the simplicity and deliciousness of these recipes, with one user saying, 'My house smells so good!! My husband and daughter, absolutely loved it.'
Another user, Quint, noted, 'I followed the recipe, it was super easy and simple.'
EatingWell has also released a series of one-skillet chicken dinners, including a crispy chicken and rice skillet casserole.
These recipes are designed to be simple and delicious, with minimal cleanup.
One recipe involves bone-in chicken thighs seasoned with cumin, smoked paprika, and turmeric, seared until golden and crisp, then finished in the oven over a savory rice mixture with onion and bell pepper.
Serious Eats highlights the convenience of skillet dinners, especially during a busy workweek.
The site offers eight skillet dinner recipes, including French-inspired chicken cutlets with a lemon-butter sauce, Southern Italian eggs in purgatory, and shrimp pasta with a spicy Mexican twist.
Simply Recipes provides comforting chicken casserole recipes, such as one with butter-toasted crushed Ritz crackers on top.
The site also features a Thai dish called Swimming Rama, which includes sliced poached chicken and leafy green vegetables in a mild coconut-peanut sauce.

What's confirmed
- With MyRecipes, your personal home for recipes, easily save and organize your favorites, plus thousands more, in one convenient place.
What's still developing
- "I'm making this often as it is a family favorite. The only thing I added was 1/4 cup white wine to deglaze for a couple minutes before adding chicken stock. Thank you for this keeper, its going in my Pinterest file."
- "Everyone wanted more. I did dice the potatoes so that they weren't big chunks. Made the ranch dressing myself and replaced 2 ounces of cream cheese with plain Greek yogurt. I will be making this over and over!"
- Not to mention, these recipes make kitchen clean-up a breeze.
- Packed with spring vegetables and flavorful chicken, these recipes are perfect for a weeknight meal or a Sunday feast this spring.
- With my oven currently on the fritz, I’ve been relying more on stovetop recipes to make cozy meals that take the edge off these increasingly chilly nights.
- During a busy workweek, skillet dinners I can pull together in about 30 minutes are my savior—because washing a pile of pans is the last thing I (and probably most people) want to do after a long day.
- Some nights call for dinners that feel like a hug.
- From a comforting rice bowl to a traybake, all these dishes require just a few ingredients and will be on the table quickly As the iconic 90s ad jingle suggests, I almost always feel like “chicken tonight”, but to be honest, I’ve never bought a jar of that sauce.
- This famous Hungarian chicken stew takes slightly longer to cook than the others but is otherwise very easy: only half an hour of prep and pan time before you leave it to do the work on its own.
- Regardless, I still demand simplicity of any weeknight dinner and I find recipes that require few ingredients overall are more attractive to my busy working day brain than something offering speed alone.
- Sunday: Chicken Hummus Bowls Monday: Lemony Orzo & Tuna Salad with Broccoli Tuesday: 25-Minute Sweet Potato & Bean Enchiladas Wednesday: Rosemary Roasted Salmon with Asparagus & Potatoes Thursday: High-Protein, High-Fiber Chicken Soup Friday: White Bean & Sun-Dried Tomato Gnocchi Our column, ThePrep, has everything you’ll need to make dinner planning and grocery shopping as easy as can be.
- It’s topped with warmly spiced chicken, juicy tomatoes, crisp cucumber and red onion, plus a garlicky lemon dressing that brings it all together.
