Budget Healthy One Pot Chicken Dinner with Pantry Staples

A healthy one pot meal featuring inexpensive ingredients like chicken thighs, canned tomatoes, onions and big flavor items you only need a sprinkle of like feta, olives, and herbs.

To be honest, when I wrote this piece and recipe back in January/February I didn’t realize how useful it would end up being to people right now. That’s the weird side of an editorial calendar/recipe assignments. You build a plan months in advance, and sometimes they end up being more poignant than intended.

In our house, we love chicken thighs over chicken breast as a whole. Thighs, especially bone in, skin on, are less expensive than boneless, skinless chicken breast. We’ve cooked with thighs for the flavor and texture for years, but I know many households only opt for chicken breast. That’s gotta change- trust me, try this and I think your mind will be changed.

I also want to highlight when you head over to The Inspired Home to get the recipe, check out the Villeroy Boch Clever Cooking dish this is baked in. We have several items from that line and LOVE them. They’re timeless and classic in style, but most importantly you can serve in them, bake, freeze, dish-wash, etc. They’re durable and are workhorses while being stylish.
