I was just telling my husband the other day how much I love one skillet meals because of how much time it saves This inspired me to create a new one skillet meal that turned out to be a new family favorite. This Fire Roasted Tomato Basil Chicken Skillet is absolutely delicious and such an easy and tasty options for all of those busy weeks. Being a recipe creator, I always think about how to get a tasty and healthy meal on the table in little to no time at all. When I recipe test I always factor in cooking time, nutrition and clean up time. Here comes the good news, this meal gets an A+ in all areas. Busy mommas, dads and single parents, I got your back with đŸ™‚
This dish is full of such good summertime flavors that pair nicely with cauliflower rice. It is so filling and can also serve as leftovers during the week. My 3 year old told me that she thinks it taste like spaghetti with chicken in it, haha. I will cut her chicken up in small pieces on top of the cauliflower rice and cover it with the tomato sauce and she will inhale the entire plate and ask for seconds.
This dish is amazing anytime of the year and isn’t expensive to make. I will throw in a few chicken breast along with a couple of cans of fire roasted tomatoes, coconut milk, onions, chicken broth tapioca flour to thicken and topped with fresh basil. It feels like it came straight from a restaurant in Italy.
On another note, you could take out the chicken and this would make a delicious tomato soup for those cool fall days. I plan to try to make a recipe for a big pot of fire roasted tomato soup for the fall and winter. I will keep you guys posted, of course.
If you are tired of the same boring meals, switch things up and give this one skillet dish a try. I am hopeful that this will become a new staple in your household that the whole family will love. If you season of life is currently so busy you can’t breath, still try to make it a priority to put a healthy meal on the table.
