One Pot Wonders
I have been a huge fan of one pot (or casserole dish) wonders lately. In the past, I have been a huge fan of recipes with like 52 ingredients, that need careful preparation and 4 different saute pans going at once. I can follow recipes with the best of them, but hours of meal prep? I no longer have time for... especially now that Ava hangs on my legs (or uses her monkey toes to climb the cabinets) while I try to prepare dinner. I have really LOVED using Pinterest for easy dinner ideas. My Mario Batali cookbooks are ashamed of me, but it is important to me that my husband and little girl have a semi-nice meal that we can sit down to together. I grew up with sit-down family dinners, and even if they weren't gourmet, I truly believe that the family time is important.
My one-pot wonder for tonight is this simple chicken dish... all the ingredients are pictured below plus a melted stick of butter (usually I use Smart Balance or Earth Balance). Just pour butter over the dish, sprinkle the Italian seasoning over it all, cover with foil and bake at 350 for 1 hour.
