You guys know I love myself a good one-pot meal.
If the salad yesterday didn’t tip you off, then this one-pot pasta or chicken and black bean and rice dish definitely should have.
Suffice it to say, I love a dish that can hit most of the food groups with one dish/pot/pan. It makes meal time quick and easy while still knowing that you’re putting something balanced on the table.
The winner of this one-pan, fully roasted dinner is definitely the garlic parmesan potatoes. Not only does their flavor permeate all the other items on the pan, but they in and of themselves are just absolutely delicious.
You can really mix up whatever starch (parsnips, sweet potatoes, etc.) and veggie (brussel sprouts, broccoli and so on) you want to throw on the pan just make sure you’re aware of the different cooking times.
Especially when using boneless, skinless chicken breasts, you want to watch them closely to ensure they’re cooked but not over cooked.
With the green beans and potatoes, I had to pull the chicken out after about 20 minutes so they could finish cooking without over-cooking the chicken. I just keep a plate handy by the oven so I can swap out different things as needed.
Throw everything in the oven at the end for a few minutes and viola! You have a piping hot, one-pan meal all ready to serve.
