I love to experiment with dishes that cook in one pot – especially for weeknight meals. I mean, who wants to clean up a kitchen full of dishes after working all day or taking care of the kiddos. Not me. So, in this recipe, I merged some of our favorite ingredients and flavors together in one dish that goes from the stovetop to the oven and is no the table in less than 30 minutes. Healthy, easy to prepare and loaded with flavor. Bon appetit!
