The perfect weeknight dinner when you don’t feel like spending much time in the kitchen. It all comes together in a skillet on the stove then finishes in the oven! I love having meals like this in my weeknight dinner rotation so I can turn to them instead of ordering take out when I’m feeling a little lazy!
