Skillet pizza chicken

Chicken second courses Italian cuisine

This exceptional one-dish chicken is adapted (based on my tastes and tinkering!) from Melissa Clark's cookbook (Dinner: Changing the Game). Her recipes are all so thoughtfully designed to work beautifully for dinner: simple, flavorful, easy-to-vary, and crowd-pleasing. She describes it in her book as tasting like chicken Parmesan without the richness, and that's exactly right. It hits all the cheesy, warm, comforting high notes without the feeling of "let me fall asleep right after"-- I've adapted it to feed just 2 people, but you can easily double it: just use 3 1/2 pounds of bone-in chicken. The rest of the recipe can stay as is unless you want more sauce, then increase the other amounts too.
