This skillet chicken dish is the ultimate weeknight lifesaver, delivering bold, savory flavors with minimal effort. By combining simple cut-up chicken with whole peeled tomatoes and a packet of dry onion soup mix, you create a deeply flavorful sauce that coats every bite.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Place the cut-up chicken pieces into a large 3-quart casserole dish or microwave-safe skillet.
  2. Microwave the chicken uncovered on HIGH for 12 minutes, rearranging the pieces halfway through the cooking time to ensure even heating.
  3. Carefully drain any excess liquid from the chicken, reserving it for the sauce.
  4. Add the whole peeled tomatoes, chopped, to the skillet along with any reserved liquid from the tomato can.
  5. In a small bowl, blend the onion soup mix with 1/3 cup of water until smooth.
  6. Pour the onion mixture over the chicken and tomatoes in the skillet, stirring gently to combine.
  7. Cover the skillet and microwave on HIGH for 14 minutes, rearranging the chicken once halfway through.
  8. Let the dish stand covered for 5 minutes before serving to allow the chicken to finish cooking and the flavors to meld.
