One Pan Chicken and Vegetables
This one pan chicken and vegetables recipe combines seared chicken breasts with sautéed zucchini, yellow squash, cherry tomatoes, and aromatic onions. The chicken is browned on the stove, finished in the oven, then briefly cooked again with wine, butter, and simple seasoning to build a light sauce. The vegetables cook just until tender with fresh basil and oregano for herbal notes. It offers a balanced meal with protein and vegetables prepared with minimal cleanup.
