Easy Potato Skillet Dinner Recipe

Course Main Dish
Cuisine American
Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 17 minutes
Total Time 27 minutes
Servings 6 people

Ingredients

  • 1 pound chicken (cooked & diced)
  • 3 small potatoes (cooked & diced into 1" cubes)
  • 1 package fresh stir fry vegetables
  • 1 red pepper (chopped)
  • 1/2 onion (chopped)
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (pepper jack or another flavor)
  • 1-1 1/2 cups teriyaki sauce
  • 2 Tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

  • Heat oil in a large skillet. Add the onion, pepper, and stir fry veggies. Cook until softer.
  • Since the chicken and potatoes are pre-cooked, you wait to add these until the vegetables are already soft. You will then cook all the veggies and chicken for 5 minutes.
  • Add the sauce. You can add the whole bottle or less depending on how saucy you would like it. I usually use most of the bottle of sauce. Cook the skillet meal for another 1-2 minutes.
  • Put the cheese on top of the skillet and cook until it melts.
  • Serve!

Notes

I use pre-cooked chicken from the frozen aisle.
Also, I typically cook the potatoes the day before or earlier in the day.
A lot of things can be changed around in this recipe. You can use different stir fry vegetables. The ones I like the best have carrots, lots of green leafy vegetables, broccoli, and pea pods. You can leave out the pepper or onion. The sauce I use is sugar-free, but you could use a different sauce if you don’t care. The cheese could also be changed. I have tried many variations and they have all been good.
