Creamy Chicken and Sausage Skillet

I have a group of girlfriends from high school that I’ve stayed really close with. Most of us have little ones now, and we’ve started an online chat to help support each other through the day. We’re diverse in location, but one thing that binds us together is a shared love for food.

So, when two of my girls had made this recipe, I knew I had to try it. They were raving. I had all the ingredients, but I didn’t have the time. It was Sunday afternoon, and I had to get something together for Sunday dinner. So, I took a chance and adapted this recipe into a skillet meal. 

Brown chicken thighs in the skillet, then layer in therest of the ingredients. This is truly a one pan meal, and is made from incredibly inexpensive ingredients. 

The results? I’ll let you try it for yourself. There wasn’t a single bite left. My husband begged to add it to the dinner rotation. Simply put, this recipe is a winner!
