Tips for Gluten-Free Chicken and Vegetable Skillet

  • The chicken should be opaque throughout, while the vegetables are tender but still hold their shape.
  • Cut the carrots into evenly thin slices so they soften in about the same time as the broccoli.
  • Use a skillet with a lid that fits well; a tight cover helps the vegetables cook evenly without drying out the chicken.

Drink pairing

A crisp, unoaked Chardonnay
Its fresh fruit and clean acidity complement the buttery sauce and sweet vegetables without overpowering the chicken.

0% option: Sparkling water with a squeeze of lemon

Storage

Refrigerate leftovers within 2 hours in a covered container and use within 3–4 days. Reheat until steaming hot.

Frequently asked questions

How can I tell when the chicken is done?

Cut into the thickest part: it should be opaque throughout, with no pink center.

Can I make this ahead?

For best texture, cook it just before serving. You can slice the carrots and portion the other vegetables ahead, then refrigerate them until needed.

What can I serve with this skillet?

Serve it on its own or alongside rice or potatoes to make the meal more substantial.
