Chicken is one of those foods that can be made in dozens of ways. If your anything like me, you have a couple of ways you prepare it, and leave it at that. Most of us like the idea of trying something new, but don’t want to take the chance of a fail, or feel like good ingredients are wasted if it doesn’t turn out.

I was pleased when I pulled this chicken out of the oven and it was perfectly moist, full of flavor, and beautifully caramelized. What else can we want out out chicken? Simplicity? Done! It’s a simple recipe, that doesn’t use a lot of ingredients.

When I pull out the iron skillet to make dinner, my husband automatically thinks dinner is going to be a win. He says everything tastes better cooked in an iron skillet. I have to agree.

If you don’t own one, they are worth the purchase! Not only are they affordable, but you don’t have to worry about that toxic nonstick coating flaking off in your food. These coatings contain chemicals that are linked to developmental problems, thyroid, and even cancer! Cast Iron, on the other hand, increases the iron content in your food! Isn’t that great?
