    One skillet cooking at its finest

    Sure, the internet is all abuzz with Instant Pot and sheet pan recipes, but one skillet recipes are the true winners in my heart. Most one skillet recipes are pretty dang quick, and you've only got one simple skillet to clean up!

    These lemon rosemary chicken thighs with potatoes are a great example of the benefits of one skillet meals. Cooking the chicken thighs first on the cooktop and then in the oven means tender, juicy meat infused with the brightness of lemon and rosemary.

    Add in potatoes to soak up those same flavors and the savory juices of the chicken drippings, and you've got a kick-butt meal going!

    I can whip up this recipe as meal prep for the week, or pull it out of my back pocket for a dinner party. Either way, this one skillet recipe uses inexpensive ingredients without cutting corners on flavor.

    Cast iron: a must have for one skillet recipes

    One skillet meals are best with a big cast iron skillet! Seriously, I own two cast iron skillets that I use for almost ALL of my cooking.

    Inexpensive and durable with proper care, cast iron tops the list as one of my top kitchen essentials.

    If you don't own one yet, this is the exact skillet I use. It's big, and it's a true workhorse. And while you're browsing, check out all my other kitchen essentials!
