In 30 Minutes This One Skillet Meal Will Be ready to Serve

Don’t you just love it when something comes together perfect? That is exactly how I feel about this super yummy meal that can be on the table in 30 minutes. Really? All you have to do is add a salad and maybe sliced French bread and your family will be amazed that you can create food that is as healthy as it is tasty.

The big key to making family dinners memorable is in using fresh ingredients and not relying on powdered mixes to bring out the flavors of your food. One thing I noticed was that the tastier the food was the more time we ended up sitting at the table and savoring it.

Being able to add in spinach was a great way to get some extra greens in our diet as well as add color. The last time I made this was for one of my high school friends who was in town. She wondered if I wanted to meet for dinner but I suggested I make her dinner instead. We talked and laughed for about 4 hours! Something that would have never happened in a busy restaurant and she insisted on getting the recipe before she left.

This is what Jen has to say about her yummy recipe.

“This flavor bursting chicken is your answer to “what’s for dinner” when you only have time and/or energy for a quick, easy meal that still tastes scrumpdiddlyumptious!”

I Have Baked A Lot of Bread, But Never One Topped With These Ingredients.

I started baking my own bread about 25 years ago. I made several loaves at a time and put some in the freezer. It was a long day of waiting for the dough to rise, punching it down, kneading it, letting it rise again, and then baking. But it was worth it.

I heard once that the smell of freshly baked bread helps to increase your sense of well-being and I totally believe it. My family is used to eating sandwiches made with home-baked bread, homemade pizza crusts, and sweet bread with dried apricots, dried cranberries, and nutmeg.

Several years after I started baking bread the best thing ever was invented. Bread machines! No longer did bread baking take all day, it was just a matter of putting in the ingredients and waking up to the smell of a bakery right in my own kitchen. I still use my bread machine, but knowing a few recipes I can create by hand it nice as well.

Here is what Stacey at Bake. Eat. Repeat had to say about her delicious creation.

Can I just say that this roasted strawberry and feta focaccia with balsamic glaze just might be one of the best things to ever come out of my kitchen?  I don’t think that’s overstating it.  Well, maybe.  I do tend to state that everything is my favorite. But still.  This was incredible.

Quick Tip: If you have a bread machine and are pinched for time, go ahead and make the dough in it, or use your Kitchen Aid to help with the mixing and kneading. If you don’t do the whole thing by hand, there is no judgment here!
