I love the combo of a little heat and a little sweet in this Sweet and Spicy Chicken.  It’s also made in one pan which makes it even better!

Sweet and Spicy Chicken - a one skillet meal!

This week on Instagram I shared a behind the scenes photo of my kitchen.  I’m neck deep into cookbook recipe testing and so most days I usually have 3 slow cookers going at once and the kitchen is a disaster.  I’m a messy cook.   You would think with all the food being cooked each day that there would always be something for dinner.  It doesn’t always work out that way so after recipe testing all day long, the last thing I want to do is spend a bunch of time on what we are going to have for dinner.

Sweet and Spicy ChickenThat is when this One Skillet Sweet and Spicy Chicken comes to the rescue.  My husband appreciates it too because he is my kitchen assistant/dishwasher and he is always glad when there are fewer dishes to wash.

Sweet and Spicy Chicken - one pan meal.This recipe uses thighs which I am a fan of, feel free to substitute chicken breasts if you prefer.  If you are using a breast I would  pound it out a bit so it is a little more even in thickness. The chicken is covered on both sides with a spice rub and then covered with a honey sauce and cooked in the pan for 25-30 minutes or until chicken is cooked through.  I definitely prefer to use my trusty 10 inch cast iron skillet.  If you don’t have a castiron skillet use a pan that can go from stovetop to oven.

Sweet and Spicy Chicken

After the chicken is cooked through, drain off any leftover liquid and then drizzle with a little more honey and garnish with green onion.  So good.  Serve with rice or potatoes and then go do something fun with all the extra time you have because there was only one pan to wash!!
