Italian One Pan Chicken Ingredients
- Chicken – I use boneless, skinless chicken breasts for this recipe. A thinner cutlet will allow this recipe to come together even quicker since they cook fast.
- Seasonings – This recipe uses a mix of garlic powder, cayenne pepper, salt, nutmeg, Italian seasoning, and crushed red pepper. The cayenne pepper and crushed red pepper add a hint of spice so feel free to exclude them if you are sensitive to spice.
- Oil – I use a neutral oil for this recipe like avocado oil or similar.
- Onion and garlic – These both add flavor to the dish.
- Tomatoes – Fire roasted, diced tomatoes add a little smokiness and extra flavor to this recipe.
What to Serve with this One Pan Italian Chicken Recipe
- Spaghetti Squash – When I was developing this recipe, I was eating most paleo and so I loved serving this with spaghetti squash.
- Pasta – A longer cut pasta shape would work best.
- Roasted Vegetables – One pan chicken and veggies are always a hit on a busy weeknight. Broccoli or asparagus would go great here.
- Salad – Throw together a quick salad for a perfect accompaniment.
