What is a Quick Dinner Recipe I Can Cook in a Skillet?

One of the most popular recipes we have ever shared in our weekly What's Cookin'? segment is Dorothy Simpson's recipe for One Pan Wonder. The dish, which features chicken, green beans, potatoes, butter and Italian seasoning is quick, easy and delicious. You literally arrange it all in a single casserole dish and bake it.

Well, Jim Gilles- from Hill View Farms Meats in Owensboro, KY- has created his own version of a One Pan Wonder. He has cooked up a Kentucky Proud Summer Skillet recipe. While Dorothy's dish goes in the oven, Jim's is cooked on the stove top. It's chock-full of summer veggies and features some of Hill View's 'taste the difference' locally raised ground chuck.
