One Skillet Chicken Thighs
We don't know about you, but most nights we're hustling home from work, picking up the kids from whatever after-school activity, getting them started on homework and then it's time to think about dinner.
That's why we love anything we can get on the table in less than 30 minutes start-to-finish. This one skillet chicken dish is a wonder and has a great blend of Asian flavors. The honey garlic sauce is incredibly versatile so feel free to substitute chicken breasts or salmon filets for the chicken thighs.
No matter what you choose, this one will quickly become another family favorite!
