Chicken Delight

When it comes to weeknight dinners, this is what we dream of. It's simple, creamy, and so dang satisfying.

This recipe starts on the stovetop for a perfect golden sear then finishes in the oven for the juiciest, most flavorful results. If you don't want to turn on your oven, you can do everything over the stovetop too!

Tender, crispy, and made without a drop of oil. MAGIC.

How do you improve upon the *perfection* that is classic chicken parm? Stuff it with even MORE cheese! It might sound overly indulgent, but trust us when we say that it's juuust right.

After marinating the chicken, everything — including the veggie side! — comes together in one pan in less than 30 minutes. Call it another skillet chicken dinner win!

When we want an extra-crispy coating, we almost always go for panko breadcrumbs. Here, we mix them with some Parmesan, lemon zest, and a pinch of cayenne for extra flavor.

Turns out the absolute best way to achieve the crispiest skin on chicken thighs is using your air fryer! The quick cook time achieves the crispiest, juiciest chicken that we devoured in mere minutes. The marinade doubles as a sticky glaze that is *just* spicy enough.
