This is one of my go-to dinners when I need something fast but crave big flavor. It’s a Chinese-style garlic chicken that comes together in about 20 minutes from start to finish, all in one pan. I love making it when there’s leftover rice or farro in the fridge. I pile the chicken on top and throw together a quick side, like cucumbers with a ginger vinaigrette or some steamed broccoli. Dinner’s done with almost no fuss. Enjoy!- Christine
