Cast Iron is the Pan of Choice for this dish

When making One Pot Dinners on the stove top, the king of all pans is the mighty Cast Iron Pan. This dish is, of course, no exception. The Cast Iron Pan conducts heat perfectly, ensuring an even cook of the dish throughout. This is particularly important when you don’t want to spend a lot of time fussing over the cooking process. Knowing you’re using a reliable pan that is going to cook everything evenly in your dish is such a comfort

Should I use Chicken Thighs or Chicken Breast for the One Pan Creamy Chicken Recipe?

For this recipe we recommend Chicken Thighs, however either Thighs or Breast will work well with this dish. We prefer Chicken Thighs as they are a lot more forgiving during the cooking process. What we mean by that is, if you over cook them a little bit you will not notice. They tend to stay super moist and delicious. If you overcook a Chicken Breast then it tends to go tough and stringy very quickly

Chicken Thighs also carry much more flavor than the Breast. The ‘Dark Meat’ is closer to the bone on the Chicken so absorbs more of that lovely flavor. We prefer it over the Chicken Breast when it comes to flavor. So, easier to cook – Check, tastier – Check! GO with the Chicken Thighs and the dish will come out perfect!
