    Time wise it might not seem quick coming in at about an hour, but that is mostly cooking time! 😉 Once you chop the vegetables the rest comes together easy peasy.

    How to make Lemon-Garlic Skillet Chicken:

    Start by preheating the oven to 350 degrees. Heat 1 Tablespoon oil over medium heat in a 12-inch cast iron skillet {or any oven safe skillet}. Add the chicken thighs, skin side down and cook for 5 minutes until browned. Flip chicken and cook for an additional 3 minutes.....

    I left the mini potatoes and cherry tomatoes whole, and cut the onions and zucchini into wedges for simplicity. 😉

    Add smashed garlic to skillet and cook for one minute.....
