I’ve been making this simple Italian chicken skillet dinner since back when I lived in a small one-bedroom apartment in Washington, D.C. I’ve got a house in N.C. now with a bigger kitchen, but I’m still making many of the same dishes that I started with. Like this Italian chicken and chickpeas dish that’s adapted from Cooking Light. It’s easy, flavorful and gives me big Italian flavors with light and healthy ingredients that don’t weigh me down.
(Sorry pasta and cream sauce, but I’m looking at you.) It’s also a one-pot, 30-minute meal, which makes it great for busy weeknights. This meal is budget-friendly, too, which was much needed for a recent college graduate trying to make rent in D.C., with a little left over for happy hour. 😉 And even now, I love that this Italian chicken skillet features simple ingredients that I almost always have on hand. #winning
You might also like this healthy Italian chicken bake or healthy creamy Italian chicken skillet (still with no heavy cream). Whether you’re just starting out or are happily settled, I hope you gives this quick and easy dinner a try and make it part of your regular rotation. Oh, and you may have guessed, but this pairs really well with a glass of wine. 😉 Salute! XO, Kathryn Leftovers are great reheated for lunch the next day!
