We’ll be honest: This isn’t the prettiest dish, but if you love a good hearty weeknight chicken dinner that’s packed with incomparable flavor and cooks in one pan, this is what you’re looking for. Those browned bits we tell you to scrape up from the bottom of the skillet in this recipe (and in many others) are what the French call “fond.” It’s created from the caramelization of foods as they brown, and though you won’t actually see it in the finished dish, it imparts a wonderful flavor so be sure to incorporate all that goodness into the pan sauce. Add a green salad and, voila, you've got a delicious dinner you and your family will love.
