Sweet Pepper & Onion Relish Skillet Chicken

A simple chicken thigh becomes a culinary dream when simmered in the right sauce.

When your family has a packed agenda during the week, it helps to have a well-stocked pantry so you can throw dinner together in a hurry. Nobody wants to first go to the market after work.

Some of my favorite meals are made in a skillet, giving the flavors a chance to blend together to create a magical dish. And the best part of skillet dinners is there's only one pan to clean. Who doesn't love that?

I keep a variety of Harry & David relishes stocked and ready for easy recipes that need an extra boost of flavor. A chicken thigh — perhaps the most underrated, yet versatile part of the bird — becomes a culinary dream when simmered in the right sauce; and this sweet pepper & onion skillet chicken recipe is the perfect example of how one ingredient can launch a dish onto the top of your list of family favorites. It smells so good, your neighbors will come knocking.
