Michael Symon leads off with a recipe for a One-Pan Chicken Dinner with a citrus twist. He uses a cast-iron skillet to cook chicken thighs until crispy. The chicken is then removed from the skillet to make space for the addition of chopped fennel and sliced oranges. The skillet is then placed in the oven to roast for about 20 minutes. Once the dish is done, fresh parsley and a drizzle of olive oil are added for a finishing touch.
Carla Hall follows up with a One-Pan Spaghetti and Meatballs recipe. Here, she uses a large non-stick skillet to brown turkey meatballs, remove them from the skillet, and then add spaghetti to the pan along with canned tomatoes, garlic, and other seasonings. When the spaghetti is cooked, the meatballs are added back to the pan for a final simmer before serving. The result is a hearty and delicious spaghetti and meatball dish that is easy to prepare and packed with flavor.
Clinton Kelly contributes to the episode with his recipe for a One-Pan Paella. Beginning with a large non-stick skillet, Clinton cooks chorizo sausage and then removes it to the side. He then cooks onions and garlic and eventually adds Arborio rice to the skillet. A pinch of saffron and chicken broth are also added to the mix. The dish is then simmered until the rice is cooked through and before the chorizo sausage is added back into the skillet. The result is a delicious and filling paella that is easy to make and perfect for those who want to add a little bit of Spain into their homes.
The episode concludes with a One-Pan Dessert recipe that is sure to satisfy any sweet tooth. Carla Hall tops roasted pears with a mixture of maple syrup, cinnamon, and butter, before placing the skillet in the oven for a quick bake. The dessert is then finished off with a sprinkling of graham cracker crumbs, and salted caramel sauce.
