- Cook Time: 25-30 minutes
- Total Time: 35-40 minutes
- Yield: 4 servings 1x
Ingredients
- 4 chicken drumsticks
- 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
- 1 red pepper, sliced
- 1 cup green beans, trimmed
- 1 onion, sliced
- 1 yellow squash, sliced
- 1 cup Brussels sprouts, halved
- 4 small red potatoes, quartered
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: herbs and spices like thyme, rosemary, or paprika for added flavor
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a large oven-safe skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat.
- Season the chicken drumsticks with salt, pepper, and any desired herbs or spices. Add them to the skillet and cook until browned on all sides, about 5-6 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the mushrooms, red pepper, green beans, onion, yellow squash, Brussels sprouts, and red potatoes. Season with salt and pepper. Sauté the vegetables for about 5 minutes until they start to soften.

- Remove the skillet from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving. Serve the chicken and veggie skillet as a complete meal on its own.
