One skillet chicken dinner?

[Equus5O]

Does anyone have a savory chicken dish, with veggies, where you brown and simmer the chicken with the liquid, all in one skillet?

I don't have an official recipe, but I can walk ya through the mechanics. The first thing is to brown the chicken over medium high heat with a little olive oil, or canola if you don't like olive. Use a deep saute pan, you'll need a lid for it later. When all sides of the bird are browned, reduce the heat to medium and and begin adding your veggies. Obviously, you'll add the ones that take longest to cook first, like cabbage, fennel, onion, carrot, tough stuff. Add some stock, wine, or water to cover bottom 1/3 of the chicken, any herbs, salt and pepper. Put on the lid and allow it to simmer for 7-8 minutes, possibly longer if you have large chicken pieces or bone in pieces. If I'm using something that gets floppy quickly and I want it crisp, like sliced peppers, I'll hold off until about halfway through the simmering to add them. Garlic is a nice addition. I hate slicing garlic, so I just throw some crushed cloves into the pot with the veggies and fish them out later. Do adjust your seasoning when cooking is complete and check for doneness. If the chicken isn't quite done, but the veg is, just remove the veg from the pan and reserve under foil. Toss a little more fluid in the pan and simmer a little longer. One pan dinners are my favourite. You can use any protein, thick fish, shrimp, steak.

You can make Country Captain Chicken:

Saute chicken parts until browned in a large skillet
Remove chicken from pan and saute cutup garlic, onions, green peppers in the same pan
Add chicken back along with a can of stewed tomatoes, salt, pepper and some curry powder (to taste - I use about a teaspoon for a whole cutup chicken but I like curry)
Simmer covered until chicken is nearly done - about 20 min? - then add a 1/2 cup of raisins and simmer until the raisins plump up - maybe another 10min
Serve over rice
