Every time that I sit down to make my bi-weekly menu I always include several one pan dishes. It just makes sense that during the rush of the busy work week and the fast paced weekends that we have a couple of options that gets me out of the kitchen as soon as possible.
I have shared so many one pan recipes that I've lost count! You will find some of our favorites on the post I shared several months ago, 14 One Pan Meals to Save You Time and Clean Up. Those are our top favorites, but since that was posted back in April, I've shared many more one pan meals that should be included. I have got to go back through and tag them all one pan, so that it's just a quick click on the mouse and you (and I) can find them all!
This recipe is one pan, but you do have to make rice to go under it, to help soak up that yummy sauce. I love Jasmine rice, because it's one rice that I've found that I can make perfectly every single time. No mushy over cooked, or crunchy under cooked bits. Just perfect fluffy rice. I really love buying the bags from Target, the Simply Balanced brand, but I've recently found a bag at Publix for cheaper! < ---- I'm all about saving money when I can!
Kelsie wasn't too fond of this recipe because of the tangy balsamic vinegar. It's not cooked enough to really reduce it to make it that tangy sweet that you find in my recipe for Steak Gorgonzola Alfredo. However, I always keep a bottle of balsamic glaze on hand, and she poured some of that right over the top of her plate, and then didn't seem to have any more problems. So I suggest if you have a picky eater, to have that glaze on hand, or to cook him or her something else for dinner that night! (grilled cheese is always Kelsie's pick if she doesn't want what we are eating)
