Winner winner, chicken dinner! We have been really enjoying trying out new recipes in our cast-iron skillet. This chicken dish is one of our new favorites. You can pair it with your favorite veggie or carb, and it will be a hit!
Today I'm sharing my recipe for my winning chicken dinner!
What you'll need:
- Chicken Breasts
- Broccolini
- Red Potatoes
- Garlic & Herb Seasoning
- Red Pepper
- Paprika
- Sea Salt
- Lemon Pepper Seasoning
- Butter
- Olive Oil
Step 1: Marinate your chicken breasts 24 hours in advance before cooking it. I use a mixture or paprika, red pepper, lemon pepper, and a dash of sea salt. Also, I put a little bit of olive oil in the marinade as well. Once this is completed, you can place the chicken breasts on a plate, wrap it up with saran wrap, and store it in the fridge overnight.
Step 2: The next day, take your chicken out 1 hour, before it will be cooked. It's important to have your chicken close to room temperature so it will not go into shock in the cast iron skillet.
Step 3: Now, it is time for the oven roasted potatoes! You can find my recipe here on how I make them.
Step 4: Prepare your veggies! Cook your broccolini in a skillet for about 5-10 minutes. Add a tablespoon of olive oil to the pan. Once the pan is heated, add the broccoli, and the garlic and herb seasoning. Stir the veggies consistently to ensure the olive oil and seasoning coat the broccoli.
Step 5: Lastly, it is time for the chicken! Ensure the cast iron is on high heat, and coat the skillet with olive oil. Once the pan is heated, place the chicken breasts in and add a tablespoon of butter. Baste the chicken to ensure the flavor is locked in! Cook the breasts on each side for 3-4 minutes, while basting the meat throughout the process. Once the searing process is complete, place the steak (with the cast iron skillet) in the oven at 375 degrees for 15-20 minutes.
Step 6: Plate, serve, and enjoy!
