We just hit publish on this one, and when we tested it Erica said - “It tastes like mac and cheese with chicken.”

For this creamy chicken orzo skillet we use juicy boneless skinless chicken thighs. Sear them first, then the orzo cooks in the same skillet in seasoned chicken broth until it’s tender and creamy. Spinach, heavy cream and grated Parmesan stir in at the end. One skillet, about 35 minutes on the stove.

Go make some now! Recipe at the link in our bio or the address below.

Ground chicken browns right in the skillet with the seasonings, then pasta and broccoli simmer in chicken broth in the same pan until the noodles are tender. Heavy cream, grated Parmesan and roasted red peppers get stirred in at the end. Mozzarella melts over the top for a cheesy one pan weeknight dinner.

Creamy slow cooker Tuscan chicken with juicy thighs, spinach, and parmesan. Ten minutes of prep in the morning. Dinner is ready when you walk back into the kitchen.

Three hours on high, or six hours on low. Either way of cooking works in our testing. We got the same result both times. The chicken pulled apart with a spoon and the sauce was creamy and perfect for spooning over noodles or rice.

We make this on repeat all grilling season. The marinade is like a cleaned-up Hawaiian BBQ sauce: dates instead of sugar, coconut aminos instead of soy, smoked paprika for smoky flavor.

Thighs or breasts both work. No grill? The cast iron pan or the oven work too.

Tender chicken in a creamy, coconut-and-lime pan sauce with fresh ginger and a handful of cilantro.

One skillet, 30 minutes, ready to spoon over jasmine rice or cauliflower rice.

The sauce is the point, so make extra rice. The Thai-inspired flavor holds up in the freezer and reheats well for next-day lunches.

Ground beef and broccoli stir fry. 25 minutes.
 
The classic uses sliced flank steak. Ground beef skips the slicing, marinating, and dredging, and the sauce coats every piece evenly. Sauce whisks together while the beef browns. Broccoli steams in the same pan.

Steam the broccoli to taste, not time. Some like it crunchy, some softer.
