This easy pan roasted chicken is perfect if you want an easy, simple and delicious dinner. It’s made with ingredients most have on hand and it only takes about 20 minutes prep to finish to have a hearty meal on the table.
The chicken is seasoned with salt, black pepper and paprika then seared in a skillet, I love to use my cast iron skillet and I use a 12 inch one to fit all the chicken in. I then flip the chicken then I add the garlic and parsley so they don’t burn.
I love to serve this chicken with steamed vegetables, a side salad or some seasoned rice (here is a recipe for my easy instant pot seasoned rice recipe HERE).
